Donald Trump may just cost Canada’s Conservatives the election
-
Canada and the US have rising tensions due to Donald Trump's threats of tariffs and anexation, leading to the unusual booing of the US anthem at a recent NBA game in Toronto. Trump's provocative remarks about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state, although unrealistic, have angered Canadians and created political complications.
Canada has significant global trade and political views, they're proud of their identity, strong social democratic values and a distinct cultural and political separation from the US. The idea of Canada becoming part of the US is just not feasible legally, politically, or practically, and there is no genuine support for such a notion within Canada.
Canadian elections are coming and they're crapping themseves. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, previously leading in the polls, now faces challenges due to the shift in focus towards how Canada will handle the US threats. Because this is all crazy AF, the Liberal Party now has an advantage, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and his likely successor, Mark Carney.
The Conservative Party has to condemning the US Right while defending Canada's autonomy, complicating their political strategy. They had recent strong polling, the election is no longer a straightforward win for the Conservatives, and Trump's actions may ironically benefit the Liberals, potentially granting them another term in office.

The brain rot runs very deep, and I'm not sure there's any way to fix it.

In the last 2 decades, the major English bloc of US, Canada, UK and Australia has been in lock step toward the shift to the right. I think it is no coincidence that it aligns with the meteoric rise of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. To satiate his incredible greed, his media organizations have fed into people’s fears and laid down the groundwork for today’s social media companies promoting inflammatory content to maximize engagement. I don’t know if democracy can survive without reining in popular media and significantly reducing biased and false reporting.

Good reason to be proud: at the end of WW2, Canada had the 3rd largest navy and 4th largest airforce in the world. Their contribution in WW2 cannot be understated.

The same way we thought he would cost himself his own election, right? RIGHT???
-
Conservatives working hard to say liberal won before the election happen so no vote.
-
I"m pulling for you Canada. Don't do what the US did.
-
The commonwealth should break up Sky News
-
They should break up Rupert Murdoch

Good point, I had forgotten that the Liberal leadership race is underway. I'd personally be fine with either of them as the liberal party leader. But in the end, I'd rather the NDP be given a chance at governing.

Here in Europe, everywhere but the UK what Brexit did was force all Far-Right parties to stop with their anti-EU rethoric.
Maybe Trump and the consequences of his actions will have a similar effect around the US and possibly further out (I hope it screws the Far-Right around here that most apes American shit).
However, in the UK Brexit did nothing to tone down the nutty Far Right, quite the contrary.

I am definitely watching in horror. You'd think a country obsessed with WW2 movies would at least get their parts right.
Tell your countrymen to Follow The Money, my friend. You may all get through this mess.

To be fairrr, it's the only job the guy's ever really had.
-
Yeah, the one good thing about Brexit was how all the idiots shut up about the EU completely. It's sadly slowly wearing off though.

if Freeland isn't the PM she will definitely have top-tier responsibilities. She is definitely someone you want on your team.

That worked for a few years, the AfD wants Germany to return to the Deutsche Mark. That would basically be the end of the German economy, but yeah patriots and all that
