Canada is a free market nation, arguably moreso than USA?

That's just ONE issue bioiron. You're still a free market nation, not centrist. Far from it.

We have nationalized car companies. We nationalized Citigroup. We nationalized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We have government owned Amtrak. What's your point?

And?

The US Government created our Postal Service, and it use to have a Cabinet-level Postmaster General until Nixon and then it became a nationalized corporation.

The Progressives largely controlled the railways in the early 1900s using class warfare rhetoric to obtain it.

USPS is government owned, again there is Amtrak. NPR was chartered by the Fed, and:
- Federal Crop Insurance Corporation
- Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
- Legal Services Corporation
- Millenium Challenges Corporation
- Overseas Private Investment Corporation

And plenty more.

The Heritage foundation has a weird way of determining what constitutes a free market nation and what doesn't.

I wouldn't consider a country with as large a social safety net as Canada to be 'free market.'

___
To begin with, the US spends more per capita on social spending than any other nation does, controlling for the different costs in health care.

Secondly, there are SO MANY other factors other than social safety nets.

That had nothing to do with what I had to say.

I know that. The existence of a social safety net removes any pretense of a free market, though.

Yes, it did. The US spends more per capita on social safety net than Canada does. Therefore the US has a bigger social safety net. It's pretty simple.

___
It depends on the kinds of programs, and remember, no one is advocating 100% capitalism.
