My implication is that the political systems in most nations are becoming more recalcitrant to acts that cause massive overhauls due to deliberate beurecracy. I would be curious if you and others think that Canada would be able to pass any new massive social program today.

So what we have now is that some countries ossified after passing lots of welfare systems while others ossified before. The ones where welfare is present end up serving a higher quality of life for its lowest ladder of folk, ensuring a better scenario for them to not radicalize much (just comparatively, look at France).

It wouldn't be too hard. Again we don't have the House / Senate split that the US does, and our parties (even the conservatives) are not too against new social programs, so the main reason why we haven't piloted a UBI or affordable housing program is because the parties (especially one in particular) only push legislation if there's already a lot of momentum behind it.
