I’m from Canada, and I know A LOT about Canadian politics. When people suggest Bernie or Warren would be making the US more like Canada, I would push back pretty aggressively on a few points.

1. Canada has universal healthcare. Administered by the provinces, not the federal government. Mandated by a federal law, but different provinces have different systems. From fully public, to principally public insurance with private delivery. The latter systems tend to be better
2. Canadian universal healthcare does NOT include: eye care, dental care, prescription drugs and physiotherapy. Yes, really. If Canadians don’t have supplemental coverage through work for these things, they have to pay out-of-pocket.
3. Canada does not have wealth taxation. Also, capital gains taxes are lower in Canada than in the US. Corporate taxes have traditionally been lower in Canada than in the US.
4. Canada does not have a federal loans guarantee for higher education, and thus, the incentive for universities to charge as much as they please for tuition is not supported by subsidized infinite-leverage.
5. Canadian income taxes are comparable to US taxes, and are somewhat lower than in places like California. This is true even at the highest brackets and highest levels of income.
6. Canadian taxes are far more generous to entrepreneurs and independent consultants than US taxes, in general. Canada as no Alternative Minimum Tax, and these people can sometimes write-off their taxes all the way to zero.
7. Canada has a federal goods and services tax (GST) which applies to all purchased goods and services except: uncooked food, most groceries, and baby supplies and clothing. Poor people can actually get their GST refunded in the form of a quarterly rebate.
8. Canadian provinces do not tax cars and trucks yearly as US states do, based on the vehicle value. Registration is a small, fixed fee.
10. Canada generally has high taxes on alcohol, cigarettes and now marijuana. (Specifically the provinces do. The federal government does not tax these things.)
Bottom line: A lot of the policies that Warren and Bernie are pushing are far, far, far to the left of where Canada is. So the question is: to become more like Canada (or Europe), are Warren and Bernie taking the right approach?
One thing of note: Canada has universal limits on political donations. Unions, NGOs, corporations and rich folks, are very limited in their ability to make political contributions.
