Essentially Canada had a bunch of British (and some Frechmen) who were loyal to the Crown come over and set up shop. The caste system didn't really go away but it was more tightly controlled and suppressed because we knew we had a goldmine in trade with the U.S
This reality is why I believe men like Kevin O'Leary, a Canadian export to the U.S is so against this. He KNOWS what Canada is and he does NOT want America to become the same. It would be disasterous for the economy, the civil liberties of citizens and global security. No question.
Trump is experiencing what many in Canada have experienced with trumped up charges, manufactured threats and penalties. The only difference is that in the U.S they get you later in life, in Canada, the police like them young and poor. He now faces a lack of alternatives due to the state squeezing him. It is an affront to your Constitution but the most fascist don't care, they believe they are your new King and Queen, they act like G-d and despise others success.
Now, once in awhile some Canadians get all uppity and ask for some civil liberties. Thus, in 1982, Pierre Elliott Trudeau brought us somewhat into the modern age with the creation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It has had great resistance from the very people who citizens needed to uphold it: the Security Industrial Complex. Wannabe fascists who get away with it, because, like New York, the powers that be don't care about these inconvenient "Rights" you believe you are ordained with. However, most Canadian citizens are docile and compliant, hence our declining economy and global reputation. When you are losing immigrants who leave and go back to a warzone rather than stay in Canada, something might be wrong.
If you choose the most fascist and diabolical people for policing, from the RCMP on down; you are bound to have a system that the Western World knows is more closely aligned to the old Soviet system or East Germany. America is not immune to this, from policing to your courts.
You are experiencing it now and as I promised, once it begins it is very difficult to roll back. Not unlike entitlements that tax payers are on the hook for, government rarely relinquishes power once you give it to them. Remember that temporary Patriot Act?
