What has been happening in Canada and the European Union since the collapse of the Soviet Union has been pretty much the same thing as the USA and the UK are doing. The Canadian provincial governments began cutting social and health services in the mid-1990s, with PC-backed provincial governments controlling most of the country despite having a Liberal federal government. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario have been the most conservative provinces in Canada, with Quebec starting to go that same route after the creation of the CAQ. Mike Harris was the premier of Ontario that began implementing such cuts in the latter half of the 1990s, which were continued partially under Ernie Eves and Dalton McGuinty (who increased healthcare spending, though to lower levels than Bill Davis). After Kathleen Wynne was appointed in 2013, tensions between the Liberals and the PC party rifted, causing political gridlock that alienated the working classes which ultimately contributed to Doug Ford getting elected in 2018. Ford continued the same cuts that Harris implemented, albeit at a faster rate.
