Only Canadians can come up with such totalitarian nightmares. Margaret Atwood, author of "the Handmaids Tale" came up with a preposterous, unintelligible plot line based on the Canadian extremist notions concerning the future evolution of Christianity in America. How can Canada have so many people willing to present such unrealistic views of human nature?
Maybe its the water.
As nations go, Canada is pretty artificial. The British and French came together simply to keep the US out. They didn't much like each other. Indeed, the English, Scots, and Irish weren't necessarily friendly towards each other.
The French didn't particularly share English Canada's affection for the British royal family, and the English didn't care about the equivalent institution for the French -- the Roman Catholic Church.
Then over the last forty years or so, it all fell apart. If the Americans weren't there already, they weren't coming. Love of England's royal family and traditions came to look fusty and old-fashioned. Quebec gradually rejected its Catholic traditions.
Everybody wanted to be truly "Canadian," but it wasn't at all clear what it meant. Except perhaps that a Canadian had to be different from US Americans, and was also expected to be different from the old school England-loving colonial Tories or pious and obedient Quebec Catholics.
So you have a vacuum into which any professor or bureaucrat with a "bright idea" can step into -- so long as it makes Canada less, rather than more, American. Canada more or less gave the world "multiculturalism," another brainstorm by academics with too much time on their hands.
