Canada is no liberal heaven

Amid the coronavirus epidemic, American liberals once again look north to Canada with envy. The management of the crisis in the United States has been given to Vice President Mike Pence, whom they view as an anti-science Christian and responsible for a slow response to HIV as governor of Indiana. At the same time, Canadian doctors are leading the worldwide effort to find a cure to the coronavirus.

And with Obamacare’s existence once again put in jeopardy by lawsuit, left-wing Democratic candidates such as Bernie Sanders will once again praise Canada’s healthcare system. The old myth of Canada being the heaven that Martin Luther King described still resonates in leftist American circles.
