Saying that Canada has elected a reasonably conservative government is, by American standards, false. Canada's "conservative" party is somewhere between Clinton Democrat and Johnson Democrat.
All major political parties in Canada support a single-payer health care system. Allowing a private for-profit system to spring up beside the government system is happening, but very, very slowly. For profit walk-in clinics are allowed, but they bill the public system for patient visits. Purely elective surgery (such as breast augmentation) is done in fee-for-servioce private clinics, but many doctors who go that route are then barred from performing not-so-selective surgeries in hospitals.
Photography is not protected speech. It can, however, be "cyberbullying", which is a crime.
American-style "private" universities don't really exist in Canada. Universities operate moderately independently from the government but the government pays 2/3-or-more of every domestic student's tuition (international students often pay full fare). In return, the government gets to approve which universities teach which programs, and to what standard. (There are a few Bible Schools that opt out of the model.)
Federal VAT up here is 5%, and provinces can choose to top that up. My province tops it up to 15%.
Canadians do not have a right to bear arms, nor a right to self-defence in their own homes. You can defend yourself, but you'd better make sure your attacker doesn't survive, because in court the burden will be on you to prove that you couldn't have fled (last thing you want is your attacker saying "sure, he could have run out his back door instead of defending himself"). Long guns are allowed for hunting, but they must be locked up, unloaded. Ammunition must be locked in a separate cabinet.
Criminals do generally have a right to parole ("statutory release") after serving 2/3 of their sentences.
Canadians do have a right to contact a lawyer after being arrested, but do not necessarily have the right to have a lawyer present during questioning. The right to not incriminate oneself under the Evidence Act is much narrower than the USA's Fifth Amendment. But the good news is, you've got that right to parole
Canada is a socialist country--in some ways, particularly the health system, far more socialist than Europe (where parallel health systems exist).
