Canada more right-leaning than before

[Ropey]

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.

So leaning more to the right but more in favor of wealth redistribution? Isn't that a bit confusing? Didn't you guys learn anything from the mid 90s?

We're a country of social values and yes, we've learned just fine. It's all up, up and away as our pension funds have made it back from the purchases of American derivatives, etc.

I'ts not US Social wealth distribution, it's socially responsible provincial governments with transfers from a strong central government. It's working fine considering we have clawed our way back from the dot.com fiasco, the savings & loans debacle and the double whammy of debt restructuring and loan derivatives.

We bought into all of them except the loan derivatives which the Liberals put a stop to when the Conservatives tried to initiate the function in Canada. Neither did Australia. That's why both Canada and Australia came out of this last cash grab.

I think Canada has a fine method of dealing with its citizens, emigrants and illegals and the Conservatives have put a stop to a lot of abuses by those who wish to take advantage of these social programs.

It's looking pretty good to my eyes though. Time will tell.

Last time around Canada got into a lot of debt; can I assume you won't let that happen again? If so, my heartiest congrats. Too bad we didn't learn from our northern neighbors.

I can't speak to assumptions, however Canada has never been deeply in debt since we are a country of 'savers'. Our young are far greater spenders than my generation, but nothing like Americans.

The multinational corporate robber barons haven't just taken over America in the last 30 years. They've taken over the world.

As HW Bush said. This is a New World Order.

Venesuela hasn't given into this New World Order, we tried to take him out.

Iran hasn't given in yet.

North Korea still holds out.

I think the Chinese Government works with these Robber Barons because they got a lot of the oil contracts in Iraq.

This is very true. Almost every Canadian I know is very good with their money and save it much more than most Americans I know do (I've lived in Canada before).

it's canada

who cares?

They're only our largest trading partners (by far)-who cares about them right?

The Best Countries For Business

During the run-up to every U.S. presidential election, countless Americans threaten to move to Canada if their preferred candidate does not emerge victorious. Of course, few follow through with a move north. Maybe it is time to reconsider.

Canada ranks No. 1 in our annual look at the Best Countries for Business. While the U.S. is paralyzed by fears of a double-dip recession and Europe struggles with sovereign debt issues, Canada’s economy has held up better than most. The $1.6 trillion economy is the ninth biggest in the world and grew 3.1% last year. It is expected to expand 2.4% in 2011, according to the Royal Bank of Canada.
Move up Move down

Canada skirted the banking meltdown that plagued the U.S. and Europe. Banks like Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of Montreal avoided bailouts and were profitable during the financial crises that started in 2007. Canadian banks emerged from the tumult among the strongest in the world thanks to their conservative lending practices.

Canada is the only country that ranks in the top 20 in 10 metrics that we considered to determine the Best Countries for Business (we factored in 11 overall). It ranks in the top five for both investor protection as well as lack of red tape, which measures how easy it is to start a business.

Full List: The Best Countries For Business Canada moves up from No. 4 in last year’s ranking thanks to its improved tax standing. It ranks ninth overall for tax burden compared to No. 23 in 2010. Credit a reformed tax structure with a Harmonized Sales Tax introduced in Ontario and British Columbia in 2010 (BC voters have since elected to scrap the HST). The goal is to make Canadian businesses more competitive. Canada’s tax status also improved thanks to reduced corporate and employee tax rates.

The Guess Who pretty much stayed in Canada. They ever wrote a song to the US.
