Hey Blaine, you are very right.
Canada’s politics have changed quite dramatically.
The NDP (New Democrat Party) started as the Canadian Communist Party.
The Liberal Party has always been a socialist party, and the Conservative Party has been, well conservative, or right wing.
We used to have very polite politicians who you voted for individually regardless of their party, because they would vote along the people’s wishes. Truly representative of their constituents. That has clearly changed.
Mexico is a totally different kettle of fish.
At the community level, the politicians are very representative. They are our neighbours and friends. But once they rise up and speak against corruption and violence, they get killed. It’s unbelievable.
Having said that, where we live you and I could walk down a couple blocks for a couple of beers in the middle of the night without any problems. My wife and I regularly do go out. Other places in the city maybe not. I’ve never had any problems anywhere. But there’s places in Edmonton that I would never do that…
The current government there portrays themselves as socialist, but we have seen what that means. Not unlike communism, they are all equal, it’s just that some are more equal than others.
Anyway I rant…
Thank you for your reply.
