If you look at China, you'll notice that it doesn't have a lot of activism or freedom of the press. We can bitch about the mainstream media, but the very fact that someone isn't kicking in your door and sending you to a Gulag is proof positive. We in Canada might be the moist spot after a Liberal wet dream, but we are not a communist state.
My stepfather lived under Soviet rule. After being caught trying to sneak out of Czechoslovakia in 1969, he was brought before a judge who sent him to a prison camp that would make most western criminals piss their pants. If you were lucky enough to be sentenced to death, there were no appeals, they marched you into a room and shoot you dead. There had been five or six executions like that during his prison sentence. Food was whatever they threw between the bars: uncooked chicken to dead rats. He even ate a dog once. After two years in inhuman conditions, he was brought back before the same judge and told that if he were ever caught trying to escape again, he would be sent to the uranium mines. It was said that prisoners sent to the mines didn't last long.
He escaped through Yugoslavia in 71 and traveled to Italy and eventually Canada.
That kind of shit is still going on, just not in the Republic of Czechia orb Slovakia, or Poland.
Trudeau is not a communist; he's a half-wit Socialist Utopian who hasn't a clue what he's doing..
