    There's a big housing bubble in Canada. When it bursts, its easy to imagine politics going in a crack-pot, Trumpian direction.

        That's not true. 1) bubble is limited to a few cities, not the whole country. Prices elsewhere are stagnant. 2) increase is driven by foreign investors - real money - not loans that never should've been issued in the first place.

        Throw in a little dash of ready made xenophobia thanks to foreign homebuyers and a population already neck deep in debt...

        While on some level I agree, it is also possible to argue that Trumpian politics became more difficult to do in Canada because of being not-Trump and not-America has become so Canadian.

        It’s easy to imagine canada electing a figure like rob ford. Wait not imagine, what’s the word... remember.

        Canadians can be incredibly racist, we’re just quieter (more polite?) about it. More insidious. If you’ve seen any of the recent tactics by the UCP in AB, they are taken directly from the GOP playbook. It’s like living next door to AC/DC, your own music don’t seem so loud
