Canada’s Louis the XVI moment:

"All bad ideas are French. It is an absolute principle of human existence." ~ David Starkey on The Brendan O'Neill Show:

What happens when the elite ignores the 3rd Estate ought to be a lesson which every Frenchman, Englishman, and American should know! Louis the XVI was in favour of reform but his hatred of the British led him to borrow money to fund the American Revolution which required him to tax the nobility, something they refused to tolerate since they weren't about to forgo their privilege. This resulted in dumping the debt via taxation onto the 3rd Estate, namely the common person who was already suffering due to recession and inflation. When the elite dismissed them ‘en masse’ they formed a national assembly and demanded a constitution which would force the elite to answer to the people, making the French Revolution an inevitability.
