A recent Fraser Institute poll found that 43 percent of Canadians (population about 38 million) “favor socialism.” It’s over 50 percent for “youth.” I’m beginning to wonder if Trump’s trail balloon about annexing Canada would be such a great idea. I’m not as excited as “Mr. Wonderful” from the TV show “Shark Tank” who seemed to pee his pants in excitement on a network TV show recently when he said that in such a scenario the Bank of Canada would merge with the Fed and form a sort of super-mega central bank. I also wonder if we would adopt Canada’s healthcare communism, or could stick with our own good ole hyper-regulated, Obama-cared, healthcare fascism.
