oh one more thing about MY part of canada (cape breton island) it was voted as the #2 tourist destination IN THE WORLD this year by a national geographic study. thats right, ahead of the pyramids, the grand canyon, hawaii, eyt. the only thing that beat it was the norwegian fiords. pretty good stuff for a little island, and something i am proud of.
Not so much price control but government does pay a portion of the cost for medicine which is what makes it cheaper for everyone else. Too bad you pay out the ass in taxes.
According to your site the US is in a 3 way tie for 6th, not 7th, and the criteria left a lot to be desired. Of the countries that beat the US only a couple had comparable motorcycle riding seasons. BTW, why are you surprised that Iceland beat us? The first settlers switched names with Greenland to discourage immigrants. When you find Paradise the last thing you need is a bunch of people screwing it up!

Canada is more socialist than the USA and we do pay more taxes. But for the record, the NDP is the left wing 'socialist' party and has zero chance of ever winning a federal election. Despite their name, the Liberal party in power is actually considered middle of the road by most and in many ways is fiscally closer to the right.
