I suspect what is going to really happen is ........ nothing. Canadians are going to complain a little and then go back to life as normal.
They already have socialized medicine and gun control, they are a socialist country already, what is going to change?

Okay, a couple of facts for you. Do you want to know the biggest supplier of Socialized Medicine in the World? US Government, with VA Benefits, Medicaid, Seniors Care.
Now, are Medical System isn't totally socialist in what you would call it. I is Universal Health care. Doctors hot together and firm an association, they negotiate a contract with the Government through Health Boards that have Hospitals, some private done owned by the Government.
Our Taxes through the health ministry pays the bills. I had Open Heart Surgery, I didn't lose my finances. Does the US need to do the same? I don't think so, I think they do need to reign in out of control costs in the system.
One example is an ambulance ride, in Canada they will bill you $85 bucks. I heard from some American friends I can be like $2,500. That is insane.
Yes, there is a fleet of Helicopters and planes to reach anywhere in the Province.
Gin control? Yes, to a degree.bWe don't have a second amendment like the US does, but we do have at least Seven million Canadians about one fifth owning Handguns and firearms.
They are regulated unfortunately, no open carry, and they can't be loaded when transporting. So take them to the Gun range, hunting grounds or bush then load then there.
The Government tried to bring in a long time registry and there was a backlash and it was dropped.
