How many people would actually vote Wexit in a federal election?
Maybe I come from my own Toronto-based bubble, but I suspect that this is largely correct. SoCons are more partisanly conservative (and anti-Trudeau/Liberals) than they are ideologically SoCon. Call it yet another ramification of the Americanization of our political climate.
Agree? Disagree?
I'm not a fan of importing American problems and perspectives. Were our founders racist? Absolutely. Were they near as bad as Confederates? No. Did we put up their statues to specifically antagonize and oppress First Nations? No.
It’s all part of being woke. There is no nuance.Maybe I come from my own Toronto-based bubble, but I suspect that this is largely correct.

It likely won't be long before Egerton Ryerson's statue is toppled over. Nuance is unfortunately dead. This was a man who fought for universal basic education for all children in Ontario, boy and girl, rich and poor, protestant and non-protestant. That was remarkably progressive for the time. Yet I saw on Instagram yesterday people cheerfully painting the hands of his statue with red paint to symbolize blood.
