You don't get it. Canada's social welfare programs are paid for by oil money. The very thing you rag on all the time. If Alberta secedes then there goes your country. You'll have to be as hardcore capitalist as the U.S. in order to save it. And the U.K. was never as "blown up" as Germany and Japan were. Not even close.
You are way oversimplifying what happened. The Greek government voted for a bailout which Varoufakis said would further worsen Greece's economic problems and he resigned over it. The troika's bailout was to keep members of the troika from having to eat Greece's debt. By doing what they did they limited the bank crisis to just Greece instead of causing a worldwide contagion. Did it cause the Greeks to suffer due to austerity measures? Yes. But Greece brought all of this on themselves by taking out huge loans to pay for extremely generous benefits for Greek citizens. Loans that they did not have the money to pay back. The responsibility lies squarely on the Greek government, no one else.

Oil is by far the biggest generator of revenue in Canada. Good luck funding your social programs without it. And as I already pointed out Australia is highly dependent on selling its resources to China. If China collapses so does Australia.

Trump didn't go bankrupt. Some of his companies did. You can't borrow the kind of money Greece borrowed and just say it's free money. Go get a mortgage and tell your banker that it's free money that you don't have to repay. See how far you get.
