"Currently, Canada is doing comparatively well in terms of economic growth and unemployment, relative to the US. This should not be confused for actually doing well, or as an indication that Canada is on the right track either politically or economically. The fact is that Canada, like the US and the European states, is a corporatist entity whose government interventions are intended primarily to benefit the well-connected and the well-to-do. Although there are some secondary intervention intended to ameliorate the harsher consequences that arise from this reality, the failure of any corporatist system is merely a matter of manner, time, and degree.
My point? When Canadians are shocked/delighted by events in the US, they would do well to contemplate this possibility – today them, tomorrow us."
