Is Canada Socialist?
Why is Canada known as a Dominion and not a Kingdom? Did the Social Gospel movement ruin Canadian Christianity? In the video below, James Tyler Robertson briefly discusses such questions from the vantage point of Canadian Protestantism at the dawn of the twentieth century. In a time when the church was vital in forming the policies and ideas that would define the nation during that century, Dr. Robertson explores whether or not such concerns validate present-day claims that Canada has become too socialist for its own good.
