At last, I thought that this election would be the one to turn things around. It's well known that they cannot continue to pay for more and more socialist programs, long-term problems with Quebec are still a dominant domestic theme, and Indian rights are going to be a greater problem as that population grows and ages. So when are thinking people in Canada going to wake-up to what their government's policies have wrought?
They didn't--and a poll today revealed that 60% of young people there think that Americans are evil. This doesn't bode well for our November election, nor for long-term relations with our better neighbor.
This is a very sad day for not only Canada but the continent.
Societies like Canada that were founded by a government tend to have low birthrates, confiscatory taxation, and a cradle to grave welfare state. America has been saved from being like Canada simply by consequence of being a nation that happened to have a government. It could very well become a Canada if its citizens lose faith in liberty and insist the government provide all their wants for them.
