It's all about globalism. Fox is saying the same things to Canada as he's saying to us.

Imagine the futre of America when we become a mixture of Canadian socialism and Mexican feudalism.
Other than Canada's crumbling medicare system, which is changing as we speak to a multi-tiered system, how is Canada nore "socialist" than the USA?
We have welfare, they have welfare, we have old age security, they have old age security. We have medicaid. We have Unemployment insurance, which is actually easier to collect than unemployment insurance is in Canada.
I hate to burst your bubble, but we are just as "socialist" as Canada is. We caught up to them and surpassed them ages ago.
*THAT*, my FRiend, is not a "future", at all...

"Imagine the future of America when we become a mixture of Canadian socialism and Mexican feudalism."
This sentence goes right to the heart of the matter. Most of us know very little about Mexico, the few wealthy families that control it, the elites' contempt of and indifference to the majority of Mexicans of indigenous indian descent, the absence of even the most basic of civil rights. La Raza's (The Race) motto is, "Everything for Latins. Nothing for the rest."
We know as little about Canada, which has never surrendered its colonial attitudes, nor made an effort to build a nation with a coherent political philosophy. Little is understood here of the influence of "The Manse," again, a near feudal institution - though not official. The wealth and political power of Canada's elites would stagger those who view Canadian socialism as all encompassing in Canada. Of course, socialism is always enforced from above, with the enforcers exempt from its strictures, but Canada presents a picture of an upper class so entrenched and essentially untaxed, that it exists almost ex parte.
Canada is hailed by the ignorant as a "pacifist" nation, superior to the barbarians below their border. Since, I think around 1952, the percentage of Canada's GNP appropriated for defense has been less than one percent. Canada nestles in the protective arm of the USA and bites us to the bone.
You are right. Socialism and feudalism. That is not just a glib epigram. It is our future.
