I don't think there is any reason to believe that the United States is significantly less of a socialist state than Canada is. Certainly, the United States doesn't have one of the social programs Canada does (universal health care), but it has a more "progressive" tax system with far more subsidies for the "poor" than Canada does to compensate for that.
