Their political system is definitely NOT as corrupt as ours.

Canada's Laurentian Elite (AKA, the Ottawa Valley Elite), are far more corrupt/cloistered than anything the US has to offer. At least down there, it's just a dollars/money game in politics. Up here it's far worse. Plus, we have a State Broadcaster which clearly plays a corrupted role in our politics. We have nothing to brag about in this regard.

As for Universal Health Care: Canada may be a case study in how this doesn't work, as much as a case study in how it does. Between bloated costs, poor quality, and public service unions decimating budgets, our health care system is hardly something to brag about. You have to be a relatively fringe player in the US to get worse quality of care than we have here. The Americans get the best health care service in the world. Cut my taxes in half, get me some insurance, and allow me to pay - and your service quality goes WAY up. They have some significant issues to address down there - but if you are employed and insured down there, your quality of healthcare is going to be heads and shoulders above Canada.
