  1. Also a Canadian, here ... Yeah, the US still hasn't fully recovered from McCarthyism and the Cold War. They've gone from being 40% unionization and a 90% marginal tax bracket, at the top, to 10% unionized and people, and corporations, at the top, getting away with paying no taxes. During that time, both parties tried to avoid any hint of being left leaning, as far as economics go. The Republicans moved way right, and Democrats moved right of centre. There are zero politicians proposing complete economic equality and an end to capitalism. There is no "far left" in US politics. On the other hand, there are numerous politicians spouting far right Ayn Rand type politics. Bernie, and new progressives, are pointing at centrist European countries to emulate. They're centre-left, at most. US politics ranges from far right to centre-left, but many politicians, and the media, have pushed this "far left" nonsense, when "far left" doesn't really exist in US politics.
