A couple of points to remember about Canada.
English Canada was founded largely by Loyalists, ex-Americans who left the new U.S. after the revolution. These were people who wanted to remain a subject of the King. They were joined in the first half of the 1800s by Scots and others from Britain who settled what is now southern Ontario (at the time Upper Canada) and Quebec’s Eastern Townships.
At no point did Canadian society rebel against a monarchy. (Quebec’s the same, by the way. They were abandoned by the French throne and given to the English, swapped for sugar-rich islands in the West Indies which were more valuable than ‘a few acres of snow,’ as someone put it.)
Second, a large part of Canadian self-identity is built around being “not-American.” Many Canadians look at their country and feel glad they are not part of the greedy, success-driven U.S. Basically, every Left lie about U.S. society is taken pretty much at face value by Canadians eager to feel different from, and superior to, Americans.
The parallels aren’t exact, but the Canadian “right wing” has views close to Joe Lieberman’s.
Canada is most accurately described as a one-party state dominated by the liberal fascism Jonah Goldberg’s book documents.
