The Great White North

Sadly, it seems that white folk are white folk no matter where you go. Canada's whites, or Caucnadians as I sometimes think of them, too often seem naturally predisposed to picture themselves at the center of a universe that an old white guy in the sky created for them.

I grew up in Alberta, a *very* conservative province (its current government notwithstanding). Historically, western Europeans were usually welcome as immigrants--others, not so much. On the suburban street where we lived in the 60s, there were no non-white families that I recall. That was the situation even into the 80s.

I think opportunists like Ezra Levant, seeing just how profitable it's been to fan the flames of mistrust and political division in the US, are taking to the Canadian media with vehicles like "The Rebel" to see just how much money they can scare out of conservative pockets.

It seems to me, though, that The Rebel is even more willing to support Trump at his word than is Fox News. They don't seem to engage in even the tiny amount of push back that Fox has shown lately (like Fox's tepid suggestion that perhaps Obama is in fact not the literal founder of ISIS).
