From a recent Ron Unz article.

Boris Berezovsky, once the most powerful of the Russian oligarchs and the puppet master behind President Boris Yeltsin during the late 1990s. After looting billions in national wealth and elevating Vladimir Putin to the presidency, he overreached himself and eventually went into exile. According to the New York Times, he had planned to transform Russia into a fake two-party state—one social-democratic and one neoconservative—in which heated public battles would be fought on divisive, symbolic issues, while behind the scenes both parties would actually be controlled by the same ruling elites.

This is exactly the current situation in America and Canada. Our rulers are by no means "left wing", they control both of the "wings" that fight largely meaningless public battles on symbolic issues. They intentionally promote the "left" more in public because they see that as better facilitating demographic replacement and the political weakening of the founding stock of both countries. It's harder to promote suicidal altruism among right leaning people so they prefer people be at least superficially on the left, while the politically "right" establishment in this country serves as controlled opposition to corral people who might oppose those things into meaningless and ineffective opposition.
