Canada: Laboratory for Democratic Socialism

If America’s states are the laboratories for democracy, the places where we try out different policies to see what works, then Canada must stand today as a laboratory for democratic socialism. You know, the kind that Bernie Sanders and his legions of sans-culottes want to impose on our nation. 

Such is the conclusion I draw from David Solway’s grim assessment of the current state of Justin Trudeau’s Canada. The American media has barely uttered the least word about what is happening to our North. The only reasonable reason must be that Canada is a laboratory for the democratic socialism that media elites were loving… at least until it looked as though Bernie Sanders would become the Democratic presidential nominee.

Anyway, here are a couple of paragraphs from Solway’s article:

Canada is presently in the throes of social and political disintegration. A left-leaning electorate has once again empowered a socialist government promoting all the lunatic ideological shibboleths of the day: global warming or “climate change,” radical feminism, indigenous sovereignty, expansionary government, environmental strangulation of energy production, and the presumed efficiency of totalitarian legislation. Industry and manufacturing are abandoning the country in droves and heading south.

Canada is now reaping the whirlwind. The Red-Green Axis consisting of social justice warriors, hereditary band chiefs, renewable energy cronies, cultural Marxists, and their political and media enablers have effectively shut down the country. The economy is at a standstill, legislatures and City Halls have been barricaded, blockades dot the landscape, roads and bridges have been sabotaged, trains have been derailed (three crude-by-rail spillages in the last two months), goods are rotting in warehouses, heating supplies remain undelivered, violent protests and demonstrations continue to wreak havoc—and the hapless Prime Minister, who spent a weak swanning around Africa as the crisis unfolded, is clearly out of his depth and has no idea how to control the mayhem. No surprise here. A wock pupper politico in thrall to the Marxist project and corporate financial interests, Justin Trudeau is generally baffed out when it comes to any serious or demanding concerns involving the welfare of the people and the economic vitality of the nation. Little is to be expected of him in the current emergency apart from boilerplate clichés and vague exhalations of roseate sentiment.

A sobering thought for today.

All leftist movements also embrace the radical expansion of immigrant populations (replacement population). They MUST have the newcomers dependant on the leftist government and enough of them in numbers so when the original populations, the ones who made Canada, rise up to throw off the leftist government, they are only 45% and cannot do so democratically. 10 more years and leftists are 60%. The replacement population can adjust to almost any conditions in the new country because it is so much better off in all cases that their previous standards. Original Canadians bemoan the loss of their country and are called racists. Leftism uses numbers to change demographics forever. So even while you organize to rid yourself of leftism, more newcomer leftist voters keep arriving. Sound familiar?

Same in Europe, same in US. But sleeping native populations are getting wise to the plan.

Why would anyone think this isn't true stateside--at least in a number of key electoral states?

If Bernie gets elected, it will be to a national office. Then they can call it National Socialism.
