Survey results indicate more Canadians see the country as having become more right-leaning over the last 10 years than think it has moved left, even as a majority are in favour of the federal government playing a role in redistributing wealth.
Results of an Angus Reid Public Opinion poll conducted for Montreal magazine L’Actualite, showed 37 per cent of respondents feel the values of the country have become more right-wing over the last decade. Just 15 per cent said the country has become more left-wing, 22 per cent said it was unchanged, while 26 per cent weren’t sure.
Many see Canada as more right leaning than before: poll
Canada has endured almost half a century of the left's agenda. I know, I was one of those Trudeau Liberals who was swayed by the rhetoric. We are now seeing the pendulum turn and an old adage being shown as a truism:
If you are not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you are not Conservative by 40, you have no brain'.
This remark by Winston Churchill, a BRITISH prime minister has been quoted many times to explain how people become conservative as they become older.
As the Canadian population ages it is definitely time for reason and common sense to take a hold over purely emotional response. Socialism cannot work. It totally ignores human nature. This is why it has failed or is failing (eg. Greece), etc.
