One Ford or another is is in contention for mayor of Toronto. The only threat to the right-wing Alberta Conservative government is a party that thinks Jim Prentice is a dangerous communist. Fdederally, Ontario and most of Canada-outside-Quebec is split between those flocking to the banner of Justin Trudeau, and those sticking with the devil they know. (And Ontario gave us the Harper government.) Canadian politicians are all parties are falling over themselves to pledge allegiance to the some of the most destructive regimes around the world. People prefer periodic little cheques from government to a national daycare system, which would be cheaper and more effective.
And you think [i]Quebec[/i] politics is the farce?

It's entirely possible that the UK, created amongst other reasons to better deploy an effective exercise in cooperative imperialism (rather than England and Scotland each setting up their own colonies, they did it together), was doomed when the British emprie began to dissolve. Scots nationalists have been using the language of anti-colonialism ever since, and they've done it effectively -- almost as if Scotland has not ben part of the colonial power in the first place.
