So all you blue-staters want to move to Canada, eh? Well, it appears as if your northern utopia may be fading into the cool mountain mist. David Frum has an Op-Ed column in today’s Times http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/19/opinion/19frum.html which shows the cracks widening, and the grand liberal experiment falling into the abyss:
Together, the opposition Conservative and Bloc Québécois parties could force an election call at any time. Opinion polls suggest that if an election were held now, the Liberals would lose decisively.
The discrediting and defeat of Canada's Liberal government would constitute a grand event in Canadian history: after all, the Liberals have ruled Canada almost without challenge for the past 12 years and for almost 80 of the past 109 years...
Many Americans see Canada as a kind of utopian alternative to the United States: a North American democracy with socialized medicine, same-sex marriage, empty prisons, strict gun laws and no troops in Iraq.
What they don't see is how precarious political support for this alternative utopia has become among Canadian voters in recent years. From World War II until the 1980's, Liberal power rested on two political facts: its dominance in French-speaking Quebec and its popularity in the immigrant communities of urban Ontario.
When the French and the immigrant communities get together, it spells disaster ! http://jerseynut.blogspot.com/2005/04/race-riots-rock-paris-france-to.html Where will Moby and the United States of Canada call home now?
People worldwide are slowing opening their eyes to the institutionalized failure of this liberal/socialist doctrine…just remember in the USA we tossed it overboard first!!
(Remember the headline well: "How could 59,000,000 Americans be so stupid?” Heh...)
