"Its democratic institutions have suffered erosion, as reflected in partisan pressure on the electoral process, bias and dysfunction in the criminal justice system, harmful policies on immigration and asylum seekers, and growing disparities in wealth, economic opportunity, and political influence," the site said.
The watchdog group said that the U.S. slipped 11 points in the past ten years. The U.S. is now ranked below Argentina and Mongolia.
According to the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC), the government to the north is fearful of what that might mean for them. Former national security advisers and directors at the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned Canada that the U.S. could become a "source of threat and instability" in the coming years.
"We believe that the threats are quite serious at the moment, that they do impact Canada," said former Canadian national security adviser Vincent Rigby, a co-author of the report. "We don't want it to take a crisis for [the] government of Canada to wake up."
The main point for Canada to pivot has to do with the U.S. While Canada has its own extremist groups, according to intelligence reports, they are coordinating with the United States.

I read all the way up to here, and then stopped:
“The U.S. is now ranked below Argentina and Mongolia.”
I have news for the pathetic Canadians, when the USA collapses, you’re going down with it. /spit
Canada should get used to being Mongolia.
That would explain the thousands of People’s Liberation Army troops Castro’s son has stationed in Canada.
The sole purpose of progressivism in America is to transform the nation into Canada. Canada as a UK Clone is the goal
If we “collapse” so will the rest of the world.
When Canada is that fearful for the future of the United States, we are all pretty nearly screwed.
Canada was once the go-to place for most fugitives of laws that Canada thought to be “unjust” like the draft for the Viet Nam war. Even some of the more sketchy of the fugitives from US justice were admitted, and have lived in Canada ever since.
