Oprah Winfrey is a force of nature, no argument. Angel Network is your inspiration pure and built on the empires of empires. This year’s presidential election to test whether their influence on the White House on the election of their candidates elected, the junior senator from Illinois, Barack Obama.

But north of the 49th, the only message we must send to Winfrey (with the exception of congratulations) is simple: “please, please, not to Oprah’s Big Type in Canada.

We love them, but we are different above, and there is no need for a Canadian version of his latest project, a tribute to television compatible Charity of social policy. Probably, there is no plan for disposing of a Canadian version of the final of the season, ABC Show (CTV) airs tomorrow night. But one can not be vigilant.

Oprah’s Big Enter She began with 10 participants, can eliminate an entire week to shoot, because they enough money for charitable purposes and the biggest winners will receive a surprise $ 1 million cash award. His philosophy is simple and American: philanthropy and the private sector, she said, it is the best service and solve problems, with the bonus - and this is important - than this, that n ‘ there is no loss of individual freedom.

It is the opposite of the Canadian perspective.

In a recent episode of Big Enter, for example, problems encountered by two competitors, primary schools in Houston, where conditions were Third World. At a school, the team has forgotten Christmas “disadvantaged” children, while on the other team Field of Dreams replaces obsolete computer, purchased as a basis for children and built an area games to replace the cold concrete.

Visually moves verneigte of competition their heads, when it belonged and teachers (chain of vehicles in close-up) verstohlen wiped tears. The show is compatible with various personalities (hey, like `bout pilot John Travolta?), And this week, teams, money with a tennis great Andre Agassi, skateboarder Tony Hawk and generous commercial sponsors, has generously taken. The show is the main sponsor, Target Stores, children showered with toys as if it were Christmas. Yeah, Target.

George H.W. Bush went to the food it in the region and raises his family, including his son, President, in the great state of Texas.

But this is not a participant now another and asked how such conditions Dickens dark American schools in the first place. Semblé obvious that the question.

Or, while another episode with a young girl, whose family has lived with the constant stress on the costs of treatment, it has the money for medical care and family. In the USA, one is sick, you can lose your home. In addition, competition has been sighted.

In this country, Canadians still retreat - under duress and pressure climbing - on the concept, we can gradually creating a joint company of our tax dollars. It is an idea decreases as effective as the Arctic ice cap, but together we try to offer a quality education and medical care, maintenance of national infrastructure and service of citizenship.

Although Canadian taxes, including corporate tax, less the two governments liberals and conservatives, statistics still show differences. During 2006, OECD calculations related taxes as a share of GDP to 33.6 per cent to 25.9 per cent in Canada and the USA indices show you what you pay. Poverty rate is higher per capita in America, as infant mortality, whereas income seniors are lower and life expectancy is shorter, etc, etc.

There is a tradition of philanthropy for Canada, and we can applaud a Sr. John Tory or Peter Munk for their dynamism. But philanthropy recalls religious fervour the USA, where he is a recognized alternative to social protection expenditure. The charity has been honoured, because before the start of the 20th century, industrialists money paid to the self-appointed “establishments steer a critical part of the brutality of armed attacks against the strike by workers and their families.

Purse Strings spending on social strengthened in the neo-conservative era of Ronald Reagan and Bush senior, as military spending and debt has increased. Same with President George W. Bush. If Milton Friedman and the Chicago School can easily affect nations, it is easy to understand why he is concerned about the influence of a Grand enter Canada.

I am not depend solely on statistics to understand this important difference between Canada and the USA I have spent years as a correspondent for USA in the years 1990 and returned after long periods during this decade. I know that the soul, it was designed to destroy a good teacher American witnesses to the erosion of public education as normal and difficult for Americans without universal health care depends on HMO bureaucracies and companies insurance, which not go as. I would not like Canada, no other path that we already have.

The infrastructure in the cities of USA - New York, Miami, Philadelphia - continue to collapse. The first time I went to Detroit, the steppes of wolves has been abandoned through a downtown. And it is more terrible for the ultimate symbol of the tragic consequences of outsourcing and privatization, coupled with corruption, nepotism and incompetence, New Orleans, where levees broke before the passage of Hurricane Katrina on the year 2005 and landed next week, Bush hosted Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexico, Felipe Calderon is discussions on greater integration.

Although it has the reconstruction of New Orleans. Think Brad Pitt. Think Brangelina comments.

As a newly elected President Bill Clinton for his wife Hillary, paves the way for a plan of health care during the year 1993, I heard not long ago-is told on the Canadian system by lobbyists the insurance industry and poobahs, three deep in consultation on Capitol Hill hearings. The Clinton failed, no surprise.

Michael Moore said in his grim stories documentary, Sicko on Americans without health insurance, some morbidly funny. Remember man, and cut his fingertips had to choose between spending $ 60000 to replace the means of his finger or $ 12000 for his ring finger? No real choice, poor guy.

Teachers have talked with parts searing intensity. The music, arts programs, school, an office for each child - the first to go to so-called hives, swimming pools in Toronto. In Harlem, Lynne Westfield, a pastor at Riverside Church, described “a genuine sense of despair, a genuine feeling we have neglected our children.”

And now, the soul within spiral continues Harlem to primary schools Oprah’s Big Sur Houston. Of course, schools benefit from the experience. Winfrey works magic, nobody claimed students were better off before showing hit downtown. But nothing has fundamentally changed. There was no revelation, worthy of education and health care are rights in a developed society, not too many privileges awarded by a charity or by Winfrey is good grace.

She may attend Obama may change if the president. It is what it is. But then, his conception of health. Both he and fellow Democrats, Hillary Clinton promises of reform truncated, but its plans depend mainly on Americans to buy private insurance. The right to buy.
