The Great Crusade (Reds! Part 3)

Apologies if it's been asked before, but what's Tommy Douglas up to?

Given that the red scare is particularly intense in Canada I can't quite see someone who identifies as a democratic socialist becoming prime minister.

Not to pressure you, but when will you cover Canada

Whenever Jello does/the mood strikes me.

All right.

I imagine that Canada is full of American exiles who are still afraid of their homeland turning into a totalitarian dictatorship. This fear is certainly going to influence Canadian politics.

Vichy France was established with relatively little hiccups with much less reason to side with Germany OTL; whereas here the French hardline anti-communist ultraconservatives and outright fascists have much more ammunition. Like with Britain a stimulus of a lot of military and infrastructure investment does help the French economy a bit as well. Prolonged civil war is avoided by most of the French military on the metropole and much of their colonial forces initially siding with Hitler before turning out to be fair weather friends to Nazism in the long run.

...

This world war really is a world war with only North America and Southern Africa (to my knowledge) not really seeing any fighting on its shores or its lands. There's even some skirmishes in French Africa like OTL between free and fascist french forces though the poor infrastructure there limits the amount of fighting.

Why isn't sub-Saharan Africa in a worse state of war? I'd like to know that.

There's really nothing besides a Boer Uprising (which would get squashed pretty embarrassingly quickly) that can happen in southern africa (defined as south of the Congo).

The infrastructure between Free French Central Africa and Fascist French Western Africa is terrible; it's why there was little fighting there OTL.

Similarly this terrible infrastructure will mean that Italy's attempts to try and link their North and Eastern African colonies aren't going to be going anywhere particularly fast.

I thought all the exiles went to Cuba or UK?

Plenty went to Canada, Integralist South America, Europe, the colonies of Europe and a very small number might enter Japan.

I know Adlai Stevenson settled in Toronto.

Probably only wealthy people could afford to go to the UK, with Herbert Hoover being one of them.

Canada was where you went if you were poor, and opposed MacArthur's fascism as much as you opposed Democratic socialism.

Or if you wanted to feel superior to both, like Ayn Rand did.

In Canada, last time I checked. Apparently her books become even more unbearable.

Bioshock proves how unwise that statement is.
