Looks like Mulcair is taking notes from past historical figures who needed someone to blame, in order to gain more power.

Yes, lets compare an (offbase and inaccurate) economic argument with horrific atrocities and genocide. I can see how one would remind you of the other.
Whether you agree with Mulcair or not, politically its a brilliant strategy. He wants to govern, and odds are he won't win enough seats in the west to make that happen. What he needs is seats in the east and to take those from Harper. So the argument here splits Harpers base, right where Mulcair needs it split. That's not to say I agree with Mulcair or his position, but I can see why he is advancing it.
