I actually don't see the threat from a boogeyman "Left" at all. From my own experience, the vocal hard left in this country seems to be pathetically inept at almost everything and mostly doesn't vote, and we have never elected a national NDP government.

Even here in Alberta we elected an NDP government that is far from what I would consider hard-left, and it took a mammoth protest-vote to do it where I doubt two-thirds of NDP voters will do it again.

There are some leftist nutjobs. Don't feel like they're a threat though.
