You say citizens like we're one group of like individuals. But the truth is that Canadian society is as divided as it's ever been before. Your needs are totally different than mine, which are totally different than Sanbir's from Surrey, or Mike from Coquitlam.
Our politics are divided into three groups with the right, the left, and the muddled middle. Add to that social media and everyone thinking that their opinion matters, and you have the foundation for division.
The US political machine is easy to criticize, but we're not too far off. The only difference is that Canadians tend to soften the blow, while Trump et al are in your face.
