I’m subscribed to several progressive Canadian websites and the more I read them the clearer it becomes that Canada’s progressives are so deep in denial that it is destroying all hope for the country’s more liberal future.
I dislike Harper as much as the next person but one can’t discuss Canadian politics and forget to mention that the country was almost untouched by the global economic crisis. Compared to what’s been happening in the US and Europe, Canada has been doing incredibly well.
Many people associate this success with Harper and his Conservatives. And they will continue to do so for as long as Harper’s political opponents studiously avoid mentioning the crisis.
It seems to me that Canada’s progressives live in a bubble that always prevents them from abandoning a narrowly parochial point of view.
