I spoke with Gorgen and he doesn't have issue with the thought of Canada going Communist. But his issue with this version his issue is how and why it became Communist.

To quote:
gorgenmast: I honestly would be okay with it if it made any sense
gorgenmast: but the app was basically "we have problems here in canada so we're gommunism now"

I'm sure you could find a different way, keeping in mind that we explain the Canadian militancy with it picking up psuedo-nationalists/psuedo-Fascist sorts from anarchy-period Great Britain. So you would need to work around that and their failures in the war, among other issues if not just that.
