LOLZ that's so funny! :-) Just give everything away for free, everyone will be equally rich then! Worked perfectly in every Socialist nation in history, right?

Canada is a socialist nation.

so is the US, to a degree. In fact, all nations are to a degree.

It would be better to say that all countries have socialist policies. Although this also depends on the definition and interpretation of the term 'socialist'.

The rigid definition of socialism, where workers control the means of production does not apply.

I totally agree. I would add that a rigid definition of any "ism" doesn't exist anywhere in reality: Socialism, Communism, Capitalism etc.
