My point is simply that the mostly affluent, well educated and socially well connected former U.S. reds who came up here in the 60's and 70's have done untold harm across the whole spectrum of Canadian society.
As one might expect of socialist cadres, they've weaseled their way into positions of influence within culturally sensitive institutions where they can do the absolute most harm: especially the legal system, our msm and public education at all levels.
Plus, remember that their entirely negative influence is magnified many times over by Canada having less than one tenth of America's population - less people in the whole country than in California alone!
Whenever you hear the most extreme and virulent anti-Americanism imaginable coming from up here, odds are that its source is one of your own ex-pats or someone they've had a hand in 'educating'.
Some U.S. conservatives want to have it both ways:
bitching about whatever bad stuff that goes on up here but, all the while, wanting to foist off still more U.S. social misfits upon us.
IMHO, such attitudes go well beyond being far less than neighborly and are quite plainly hypocritical.

The Dominion of Canada was put down like a diseased animal by an unholy alliance of lefties from the U.S. and U.K., the petit-fascist revanchistes of Quebec, and the anti-American Establishment heirs of the Family Compact in UEL-fetishising Ontario.
To revive our Dominion, we must drive a stake through the heart of the present perverted Trudeaupian regime, and return to the original terms of Confederation, giving all usurped powers back to the provinces, and restoring Parliamentary supremacy over the courts.
Otherwise, the country will crack up within a decade, imho. I live in the once magnificently prosperous B.C., but Alberta is only a morning's drive away. ;^)

What made it worse is that the leftists who streamed North were more than willing to take advantage of the fact that Canadians were open, friendly and willing to give the new arrivals the benefit of the doubt.
Canadians have a reputation as sort of being pushovers. That's not wholly true- Canadians were used to living in a society where people weren't that pushy and only asked the society to accomodate them when absolutely necessary. The draft-dodgers and communists from the US used that to their advantage to change Canadian society around them.

Didn't your country invite them? I seem to remember that in the time you speak of, Canada opened it's arms to any and all draft evaders, war protesters and other misfits of the leftist variety. We, the US, didn't evict or deport them, you rolled out the red carpet and now those actions are coming home to roost.
