To be honest, the US does fall below Canada in the Freedom Economic Index, though that is more of a function of regulatory burden, which increases prices of our products. (See ObamaCare and it’s effect on Medical Services).

The meme:

Minimum Wage: How does a high minimum wage build the middle class? In the USA, only around 3.9% of labor force earns minimum wage or below [1]. In Canada, the rate is higher with 6.7%. [2].

Union membership: Union membership may be higher in Canada, but like other developed countries, the rate is falling not growing. From 1981 to 2012, the rate fell from 38% to 30%. [3]

Tax the rich: Flat out lie. Top marginal rate in USA is 39.6% [4]. In Canada, it is 29% [5]. The United State also has a higher Corporate income tax than Canada [6].

Health Care: Yes, costs are more here in the United states, but in Canada, but wait times are worse, limits cost of living consideration for providers, and is not as distributed as well in rural areas. [7].

Bank Regulations: Apples and oranges. Unlike the USA, Canada does not have programs like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac encouraging loans to bad creditors, we allowed down payments of 3%, Canada is no less than 20%. Canada also repealed its own version of Glass Steagall over 20 years ago. [8]

More nonsense from Occupy Democrats.

All these people who love Canada and threatened to move there if Trump was elected, yet they're still here...
