@rodroidrx Canada doesn't have socialism. Socialism fundamentally means worker control of the means of production and the economy. Canada is capitalist to the core, where the capital owning class owns everything.
Socialism doesn't mean just having a social safety net. This is a very good explanation of the actual meaning of the term
@rodroidrx
also, our system is absolutely not working. Over half the population has no savings indicating that they're being paid subsistence wages.
Meanwhile, just 87 families own more wealth than around half of the population of Canada. These people have become rich by exploiting the rest of the population, and that's who benefits from all your hard work.
The wealth gap only keeps growing with each generation. This isn't sustainable.
