Laurentian Elites

The self-appointed rulers of Canada who portray themselves as the natural rulers of the country and incorrectly believe they have some relevance, and who drip with smarmy, poncing ways. Usually used in a derogatory sense by people in the West; often for the central Canadian habit of supporting corrupt family dynasty rulers who are the love child of Fidel Castro.

The rest of Canada would love to leave, if only to get away from the unbearable Laurentian Elites.
