Yes, clearly their hate of all things rational and evidence based was the major reason why Canada has weathered the global downturn much poorer than the much better informed rest of the world, especially the left leaning educational European twin paradises of Spain and Greece and our closest neighbor whose spectacular veer left (towards science and reason?) has yielded nothing but milk and honey.
