It would certainly put a damper on Canadian society evolving. Society would in fact march backwards. For a real life example we need only look to North Korea. They exist or barely exist within a bubble under the shadow of their "dear leader" (now deceased). North Korea exists in a near pre-industrialization state. They are kept in the dark, so to speak, about everything that the western world takes for granted. This proposition for Canada would be highly unlikely unless some post apocalyptic scenario came about.
