"As the U.S. slide into authoritarianism continues, Canadians must look in the mirror. It is not enough to simply acknowledge that the rules-based international order is ending – we must think long and hard about why it failed and how we can forge a different path.
One thing that should be clear is the intimate link between economic wealth and political power. It is no coincidence that authoritarianism is rising in one of the countries with the highest levels of income and wealth inequality in the world, and the greatest number of billionaires. Extreme wealth gives rise to extreme power, undermining democracy."
Countering that is never going to be very pragmatic, unfortunately. However, Canada added *nine* billionaires between 2024 and 2025 according to Forbes. So, #NeoliberalParadise ain't goin' NOWHERE!
