Well, the leader of the federal New Democratic Party, the major party farthest to the left (pro benefits, pro union) is this fellow:
Jagmeet Singh. Sure, he’s a typical guy who was born in Scarborough (like me) and raised in Newfoundland, but he’s really never been the nationalistic type.
No, the nationalists in Canada are on the right.
That would be this guy, the leader of the People’s Party of Canada and former contender for the Conservative leadership.
Maxime Bernier. As you might imagine, Mr. Singh is somewhat more amenable to immigration than Mr. Bernier is.
As for Americans, there hasn’t been any real anti-American sentiment in Canadian politics since the early 20th century (Except for Trump) where Sir Wilfred Laurier was painted as a tool of the Americans for wanting to introduce free trade between the two countries.
He was soundly defeated.
Free trade had to wait another 90 years.
