I think there is an underlying assumption that our current situation with the right is largely due to external influences. I'm of the opinion, that while the expression of the ideology is globally crowdsourced, we would have a similar percentage of wingnuts with or without American influence.

It seems to me that the economic disenfranchisement of the average Canadian is the primary force polarizing people politically, which would also explain the simultaneous resurgence of fascism globally (notibly, outside of the anglosphere)
