Oil Patch: Movement Building and Canadian Flag

oil patch: Some of the usual right-wing pundits have found in her their champion of the people, our Trump to make Canada great again never mind that she's the embodiment of the elites she rails against surgeon by trade, Dalhousie-educated, white house on 20 hectares in the country, according to NOW Magazine. Under the headline The Peasants In Canada Are Revolting, No Question About It the Toronto Sun last week compared the so-called movement building around Leitch mostly in Alberta's oil patch to Trump supporters. Leitch, in case you haven't heard, has been playing the Trump and race card like a two-bit blackjack dealer on crack since she entered the contest to succeed Stephen Harper, wrapping herself in the Canadian flag while she's at it. I didn't know we had peasants here, apart from the foreign workers hired every year from Mexico and other countries to work on our farms for meagre sums the same folks, by the way, on whom Leitch wants to impose stricter visa requirements. They came from a poor part of rural Italy; they had little education; they called their countrymen and women paesans. My parents could have been described as peasants. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
