Canada slashes corporate taxes, wants to trade-maxx with other Western economies while the US plays with tariffs and economic populism - and we're told it's the Canadians who are socialist.
@doktor_val Your UK Tories especially are still wedded to the dying idea of Civic Nationalism, an almost entirely intellectual phenomenon. The wider public is either broadly cosmopolitan or wants a deeper, historically rooted nationalism instead. So naturally, the Tories turn to the kids.
@doktor_val Most adults no longer see enough value in adhering to tradition or formal dress codes to justify the friction they add to daily life. Conservatives who still value these things preserve or impose them on Children, who have no say in the matter.
