All this reminds me of the upcoming bourgeoisie that purchased up the land of France using the fiat currency the assignat. At auction.
Our fiat currency, similar to the assignat, is given value by the auctioning of real estate (or other assets) to the wealthy, so they can feel they have a means to escape inflation. To be paid in hard assets for imaginary numbers.
At the same time. During the revolution, the French monarchy was attempting to reclaim its sovereignty away from the nobility and other ruling interests. Though, it failed and new interests took power.
The Canadian government seems to be pushing towards firm collectivism based on its sole authority. Even the state funded media functions more as a public relations entity, than journalism.
I feel like Canada is at a crossroads. The current system, while seemly robust, is unsustainable and becoming unstable.
