Nixon's closing of the gold window in 1971 produced 45 years of a Weimar America, which is a lifestyle that Americans cannot afford. Weimar Canada began when the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement came into effect in 1989; that agreement was signed by Mulroney and produced the conditions that were necessary for the middle class to shrink. Shortly after Harper became prime minisher, several Canadian provinces increased privatization of essential services; this process began 15 years after Nixon closed the gold window, but was initially at a smaller scale compared to Reaganomics of the 1980s befire it expanded under Harper. Reagan, Thatcher, and Mulroney therefore produced the conditions that caused the middle class to shrink in the 28 years between Reagan's election and the 2008 financial crisis, which resulted in the rise of right-wing terrorist groups in all 3 countries after austerity programs were implemented in North America and Europe in order to resolve the crisis. That alone produced Trump, Johnson, Kenney, Moe, Ford, Pallister, Legault, Minnis, Bolsonaro, Modi, Orban, Duda, AMLO, Rowley, and Abela. The last 4 leaders are far-right despite hailing from left-wing parties because they pursue the same policies that Trump and Johnson produced, as they are just right-wing fascist puppets that rely on the stock market for their support. Jinping is a rare example of a left-wing fascist leader; there are only less than 10 leaders besides him, including Lukashenko and Maduro, who govern with that style.
