That's because the Canadian government employs 3.6 Million government employees out of 17 Million of your total labor force. WOW! talk about big government! That's almost 25% of your total labor force!
% of gov't employees in the US is only 15% of our labor force. Considering the size of our country, military, etc. that figure is small compared to Canada's labor force-gov't employee ratio.
NICE TRY ;)
I get it that you're proud of your universal healthcare system. I honestly wish we have one but the issue is COST. if you can think of a way to implement universal healthcare without bankrupting our country i want to hear it.
