Entry: Jonah one More Time Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/jonah_one_more_time#16244 Post contents: Grant Havers raises an interesting point Who's to write the inevitable LF sequel about the cultural history of the big North? It's a hard book to title given the reversal of political polarity in Canadian English. Even with a polar bear with a mustache on the dust jacket, _Progressive Fascism_ would not be an easy sell, but somebody ought to follow the snowshoe tracks from such Prairie Fascist wellsprings as the Social Credit movement to the WPA and Ezra Pound's doorstep alike. If left wing historians can connect the evolution of marxistante Canadian Film Board to the Franfurt School, someone should be able to trace the 50th Parallel East to the headwaters that spawned the Nanny Statists that infest the high latitudes today. There's a muchness of intellectual intolerance stretching from Mark Steyn's mirthless persecutors to those bent on turning Europe's northern tier into a cradle to grave kindergarten for adults. I don't hear anyone typing, but maybe P.J. O'Rourke can but a little backbone into Mark- there's hope for any NeoCan with the sense to migrate into proximity to Jeff Hart. Sent at: 2008 09 06
