From a Canadian viewpoint, the last couple of years of populism has been a bit like discovering your favorite Uncle has a probably lethal opiate addiction.

But, you're going to get to inherit his Corvette.



Canadian here also. I like your analogy. Opiates don't stop at national or socio-economic boundaries.

So a prediction I hope I'm wrong about: We temporarily enjoy driving the bully uncle's Corvette but soon find ourselves chasing the same dragon in it.


Hi, can you please clarify this. I didn't get the context. I am planning to move to Canada and would love to get multiple view points.


Cool, but he's not maintaining the Corvette, he's running it into the ground.


Man, too close to home.


>your favorite Uncle has a probably lethal opiate addiction.

are you talking about the crack smoking mayor?
