## Resource

Johan Norberg, one of Sweden’s top thinkers, takes a sledgehammer to the lie that democratic socialists love to tell: “Sweden proves socialism works.” He explains exactly why Bernie Sanders and others are dead wrong — and how blindly following that path leads straight to economic destruction. Brutal truth-telling on Canada Day weekend.
