There are a couple of big questions that seem to arrise out of this song: 1) Is this a pro-socialism or an anti-socialism song or neither? 2) What is the Canadian Dream?
Here's what I get from the lyrcis:
1) Canada is socialist and wants to be socialist and it doesn't look like that is going to change anytime soon.
2) Progression towards the Canadian Dream is not really getting anywhere.
3) The Canadian Dream = freedom and equality for everyone where everyone gets along with one another (ie. socialism)
Therefore: my answer to Q1 is Neither because the song may really be saying that while we think we've got socialism and praise socialism, we aren't really there yet and there is still more work to do to get there.
