Let's keep this simple.

I believe they must be teaching a different sort of economics in Canada.
I think it's important to recognize that at least two people (I'm not sure about ubertuber) with advanced degrees have explained that your introductory level economics isn't meshing well with a more in-depth view of economic principles.

Since we have at least three econ buffs in here, I'd like to ask how any of you could use the term "free" market within a context that allows capital freedom of movement, yet restricts labor?


And yes, Canada is very likely teaching a different view of economic principles. They have a more liberal economic structure, political context, and culture. So that would make sense, as well as explain the "neo-conservative" statement. Which set of principles are most accurate, however, is an empirical question, not a matter of opinion. Simply test them cross-nationally.
