When Canada became a country in 1867, our founding constitutional act produced the phrase “peace, order and good government.” Some compare this to the United States constitutional well-known message of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” But there’s a stark contrast. Canada’s vision exudes collectivism and government involvement, whereas the U.S. vision embodies unbridled capitalism and individual rights.
