Thought about posting this in the American politics thread, but figure here is more on topic but it is this: How do we ensure what has happened in the USA does not happen here, ever? I'm still not sure if Trump, or to be more precise that vehicle for overtaking the US system of government, will be ultimately succesfull, but to me the attempt is warning enough. And if he (they) are ultimately succesfull, it surely puts a lot of stress on our system (strengthens our own extremist movements), which like it or not definitely does exist (trucker rally, ostrich farm, etc.)
So how does our system of government differ from the US when it comes to being overtaken by a movement like this? How vulnerable or protected are we? The main reason I ask is because I think if it needs strengthening, now is the time to do it, and I think it's something most Canadians could agree on, before it gets to be too late.
