      1. A few thoughts on the resilience of small-l liberalism in Canada (and Germany) in political economy terms.

      2. Canada so far has escaped the rise of xenophobic, pseudo-populist anti-globalism. This has led to smugness:https://thewalrus.ca/canadians-are-better-than-other-people/ …

      3. Absurd to say Canadians are "better" than other people. Worth asking is why "free trade" hasn't caused same backlash in Canada

      4. In Canada (unlike USA) free trade combined with a) universal health care b) low dollar.

      5. Low dollar meant Canadian economy kept manufacturing jobs and universal health care mean economic dislocations were cushioned.

      6. There are parallels here with Germany, which also managed to cushion its working class from worst excesses of globalization.

      7. Of course the very policies that ensured stability in Germany meant austerity in other parts of EU. German success bought at a price.

      8. One take-away is longterm survival of small-l liberalism requires that liberal values be grounded in social democratic political economy.

          can't neglect Canadian immigration policy. Isn't that the biggest issue that motivated Trump's initial rise?

          Canada has also maintained a lower Gini coefficient than the US - less of a platform for class resentment boiling over

          voters can perceive threats in either economic or cultural spheres - either one is enough to challenge liberalism

          I would argue the Dem platform does, the problem is that unlike Canada in a Presidential system Obama cldn't implement

          smugness is not a new thing in Canada, it's always been there (I'm Canadian, btw).

          however, a big part of anti- xenophobia in Canada is its baking I'm to the national identity by advertising by Fed government.

          I think one can see this in that xenophobia in Canada tends to be greatest where Fed. gov't has least influence...

          A couple of things to add. One is that this way of thinking https://twitter.com/jpbrammer/status/799686559901454336 … is not especially common in Canada. @HeerJeet

          The other is Canada has no national mythology of past imperial greatness. "Make Canada Great Again" would be a non-starter. @HeerJeet
