French Canada is the reason.
The rest of Canada suffers because of the francis influence.
pally vous frog.

From those able to pay, to those unable to pay -- means the destruction of freedom and wealth, with poverty for all.

It's not just the French. In my view, Canada is composed of five distinct political regions.

1) Ontario. The largest province, by far. Has politics similar to Massachusetts. Elects left-leaning parties to the national parliament. Pockets of conservatives, but the conservative party is split, so they don't win many seats (ridings).

2) Quebec. French speaking. Were more separatist than they are now. Leans left, more so than Ontario, but with all that French language stuff.

3) The maritims. Really hard core left.

4) The western provinces. Conservatives. Some urban areas are more liberal.

5) The north. Not many people, lots of ice. Indians.

We could use a few more conservative rural states. :^)

Very interesting. I have never given much thought to Canada. But, I never associated it with being a wealthy country, long as I can remember it has been a socialist kind of place. And the weather...ugh

My grandmother-in-law has a condo in south Florida and many European transplants to Canada have their winter homes in her complex. I always wondered why in god's name they chose Canada. I am from upstate NY and I have never even had the slightest impulse to jump in the car and visit.

Socialism is working its magic, gradually converting Canada into an economic, political, and intellectual backwater. In 20 years it will transformed into a impoverished basket case, a frozen Argentina. The best and the brightest flee to the US.

Yes. A cationary tale, wouldn't you say?

[friendly]

Yeah, a lesson seen here in Red Davis' California and the entire NorthEast toilet full of little quasi-socialist states.

[Loyalist]

Canada suffers under the legacy of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, a wealthy intellectual dilletante who never held a steady job until he became Prime Minister.

But Trudeau would have died an obscure academic, and Jean Chretien remained a small-town lawyer, had it not been for Mr. Nobel Prizewinner himself, Lester Bowles Pearson, who first put them into Cabinet.

"I have never given much thought to Canada."

No one has. Not even Canadians except so far as they define themselves as not Americans.

In all seriousness, the future of Canada lies in a politcal union with the United States.

[wiseone]

Exactly, the mumbling, stuttering social engineer Lester Pearson began the descent….. “Transformed into a impoverished basket case, a frozen Argentina”…

They know all about the US,( watch US tv,media,spend vacations in Florida),yet the liberals,and even working class stiffs ,while they whine about ottawa,taxes etc , still defend Canada,and bad mouth Americans and the USA .


It’s like racism,they feel superior to Americans, claiming their multi cultural ,non-military society is better.

Le frogs are in a total different country altogether!

[Age of Reason]

Just a question:

Does Canada's history of changes to its immigration policy in any way correlate to its decline?

[FreedomCalls]

WHAT ON EARTH HAS HAPPENED TO CANADA?

The same contagion that has infected Australia, New Zealand, and Great Britain as well. Socialism.

But, I never associated it with being a wealthy country, long as I can remember
it has been a socialist kind of place. And the weather...ugh

I got to visit twice as a child in the mid 1960s (Montreal), then twice to
western Canada (Edmondton) in the late 1970s and twice to Vancouver in the 1990s.

I suspect the "Switzerland of the North" tag was true in the 1960s. But, two of my
cousins left Edmondton in the late 1980s and are now doing quite well in Dallas.

As for climate, don't let it totally fool you.
If I suddenly won the lottery, I'd probably buy houses in Los Angeles, Vancouver, and DFW (family)
and just spend my time jetting between them based on the weather and my wims!

[riri]

True, about the weather. After six years in Phoenix--sunshine and blue skies aint what it used to be.

[what's up]

What keeps the conservatives split in Ontario?

[pointsal]

Oui ping

[SevenDaysInMay]

Bump. eh?

IMO, west of Ontario should have the option of becoming states, along with the Atlantic provences, but as only one state. No more silly places like Rhode Island, Conn., Mass., Maine, NH, or Vermont. La Belle Q, has that nasty frog in her voice, like EUnichs, like Ontario.

With the coming ice sheet, none of this will matter, because within one or two generations, Canadians and the islamists will be forced south as nature's refugees, supervised closely by the UN. Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes are just puddles left behind.

What will the EU do when ice comes a calling? Blame the USA?

Until then, blame the US for leading Canada in nearly everything, especially supersonic aircraft design, as what happened in the '60s when Canada ran off its talent to find a home at NASA.
