Politics: Populism I and Canadian Politics

politics: After a great deal of thought on this I am going to start a thread trying to explain the loss of the left and the success of right-wing populism, according to Rabble. I have been seeking some kind of unifying theory and believe I have found it.I have suspected that this is related to technology as this is the most consistent element across the globe. This is in Canadian politics but it applies to international politics as well. In the past I put this down to the rise of social media. You may see I touched on this in response to the comment about Scheer in the global warming thread post 271 here page 5 comment-5499751I will late it out more completely. While I think this is definitely part of it, it cannot explain it adequately.I will attempt to lay out what I think the critical change is. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
