I’m Canadian and my country is extremely successful. We’re also pretty socialist. Obviously socialism isnt a binary, but we have universal Healthcare, strong financial regulations, and a stronger more centralized federal government than the US. We’re doing very well, and the elements which cause us the most pain tend to be where we are more like the states, not where we’re more like Denmark.
Worlddata.info - Canada 26th in World Quality of Life index vs. US rank 38
IM Global Wealth News - 10th in quality of life, US not listed
U.S. News - 4th overall to US third.
Wagecenter.com - Canada has the highest rated standard of living, US not listed in the top 10
UN Happiness report - We’ve dropped to 18th, vs the US 24th.
It is absolutely not a stretch to say Canada is extremely successful. Perfection is an awful long way off, of course. Costs are up, happiness is down. American influence has caused a rise in right-wing hate groups. But I’ll repeat - the more socialist we lean, the better we seem to do.
Well. Maybe it depends on your definition. When it comes to providing a good quality of life for your citizens, Canada is probably doing alright. But not exceptionally well. When the working class can’t afford to enter the housing market, and GDP per capita is around 60% of the US; that’s not so good. I’d classify Switzerland and Singapore as extremely successful.

That‘s a stretch, isn‘t it? What‘s the housing market like over there?
