Undoubtedly Australia. Their politics is much closer to that of the US than Canada's is.

Australia by a good deal socially. Australia is still more right wing economically, but not by quite as much as it is socially.

Australia, but there are parts of Canada that are more conservative than anywhere in Australia.

Australia, obviously.

Right-leaning folks in Australia are still part of the political process. The political culture in Canada is such that conservatives are considered to be traitors to the state.

Oddly enough, the US has a food stamp program.  Canada has no such program , we don't even help poor families with school lunches. I don't think Australia has a food stamp program either.

There has to be some kind of aid to the poorest... right?

Unemployment benefits probably are more generous than in the US (though much less generous than in Europe).

It's up to every province. The only federal program is unemployment insurance (which is normal, as employment is a federal power, unlike anything else related to poverty).

The rural west, especially southern Alberta. You don't see the coalition getting anywhere close to getting 80% of the vote anywhere in Australia.

Yea, that is a odd part of the Canadian health care system. Every 10 years, the 10 premiers and the PM sit down and hash out a new health accord. The feds send the money, but the provinces administer it. Since I only have my Ontario provincial health care card, I wonder what would happen if I had to go to the hospital out of province. Seems like a bit of a bureaucratic nightmare.

The governor general has no party, and even if they did, Cosgrove isn't a greenie, to say the least, because remember that he was appointed by Tony Abbott.

Huh? The previous Australian Prime Minister was named Werner Faymann, not Tony Abbott.
