Canada: Modern but No Longer Very Democratic or Western

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Worse still, the recent arrest of former cabinet minister Maxime Bernier for holding a socially distanced outdoor speech for the only real, but nascent, federal opposition party in the entire country, the People's Party, reminds us of Eastern European tyrants under communism
45% : They mean a "country that functions," a modern country with proper roads, clean water, dependable electricity, and border security, where financial corruption is minimal and nepotism disappears among a growing middle class that slowly takes over representative government from the tribal oligarchs.
42% : The shutting down of disciplined, scientific public debate about COVID-19 and lockdowns among members of the medical fraternity in Canada has been most depressing, and the border controls, quarantines, and forcible placing of returning travelers in government-chosen hotels has a totalitarian feel to it, especially when so many of our elites break the rules and travel in private jets in and out of the country or ignore the hotels when they return from international conferences abroad.
