O' No! Canada (Part 1)

Since my last visit to Canada, I noticed that things weren't going as well economically as I thought.  I was a bit disappointed because I have relatives and friends in almost every province in the country and my expectations were a little high.  But then I learned that Canada is dependent on natural resources such as oil and timber.  So what has happened in past couple of years?  Oil has collapsed, the Conservative party was ousted and now the Socialists are running the show, not a good mix for an economy to prosper.  However, I got a sense that people are alright with it.  After all, a lot of Canada's industries are nationalized; pensions, health care, education, timber to name a few.  In my next article, I will go more into depth about Canada's economy and government.
