much more nebulous out here in Canader as a lot of the immigrant population came to escape that very thing.

I don't know so much about Canada, but USians say the same thing and yet they absolutely do have social classes and social mobility problems. Partly that's hidden (or at least muddled) by the legacy of slavery, partly by their widespread unwillingness to even admit it's a thing. Class is a big factor in Trump's core base and that's one of the reasons Democrats find it so difficult to counter it

Trump's core base are lower-middle-class though, aren't they? Mom-and-Pop business owners masquerading as working class people.

I said class, I didn't specify. Class resentments is a key thing he plays on. But he does have a fair blue collar following.
