Well to be fair; China, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany all had governments that were not as restrictive(or restrictive in different ways) before those factions came into power. Perhaps the current government of Canada feels that it is impossible for a more repressive party to come into power. I think that I heard the same thing about Trump before he was elected(as in no way could the USA elect someone that crazy).... I hope that when Canada does get an extremist, they are not the type to kill people in the streets.

Canada has already had some insanely regressive governments in the past and there was little in the way to stop the at the time. Religious, Christian, authoritarians were usually behind the oppression too. One not often talk about example is unmarried pregnant women were forced to give up their babies for "morality" reasons. "Some 600,000 Canadian babies were labelled “illegitimate” between 1945 and 1971, and it is estimated that between 300,000 and 450,000 babies were given up for forced adoption during this period."* Heck, if you were the wrong kind of Christian, you could be persecuted. Jehovah's Witnesses were banned during WW2 and afterwards, in Québec, distributing their literature was an offence because it attacked the Catholic Church. * https://globalnews.ca/news/4342569/forced-adoption-unmarried-women-canada-report/ https://globalnews.ca/news/4342569/forced-adoption-unmarried...
