the disconnect is that the canadian pseudo-left relies almost entirely on american analyses that use american economic data. however, the united states has very rarely adopted similar policies. immigration policy in the the united states is largely a legacy of slavery and is primarily intended to increase the size of the proletariat in order to drive down wages, not to increase the size of the petite bourgeoisie to increase the tax base. canadian immigration policy is rooted not in hispanic/arabic slavery but in british colonialism, which sought to populate new regions with free british citizens that could generate their own wealth, with the purposes of taxing them.
if the canadian pseudo-left wants to reconnect with the canadian proletariat, it needs to start by using canadian economic data that is relevant to the canadian proletariat, and stop relying on american data and stop trying to apply distinctly american social theories that are rooted in the legacy of slavery and are not relevant in canada.
