Canada - the broken promise.

In the name of global competition, Canadian governments, both national and provincial, are dismantling a social infrastructure that took a hundred years to create and are handing power over to the private sector. Canada's political and economic elite bought the current ideology that the global economy is inevitable, that there is no way to curb the power of global capital and that, in order to remain "competitive" in the new world order, the nation had to turn its back on its history and institutions. Results of these policies have been devastating for most Canadians. Several hundred thousand jobs and many hundreds of manufacturing companies have fled to lower-wage states in the U.S.
