LOL, they didn't have to "pull Donald Trump out of the bag". We all heard Donny Bonespurs tell the world he wanted to annex Canada as the 51st state. We watched as he tried to intimidate us with tariffs. Do you think we don't get American news up here?
PP has parroted MAGA talking points at every opportunity. Most Canadians, at least those with brains, are looking at what's happening below the border and deciding that we definitely don't want that.
Many of us also looked at the career history of the candidates and decided that a man with years of experience in banking would be better for our economy than a career politician who has never had another job, and who changed his name to try to win votes.
Of course. But it was Carney who played it up as an 'existential threat' to Canada. Its not. Donnie is a full of shit narcissist blowhard and he fails at everything he touches. But the Liberal strategy was to give Donnie's pathetic weazing as much oxygen as possible, keep people scared, make sure that our economic life depended on someone handling the 'threat' and of course, who better than an international banker. Up til Carney put the spotlight on Donnie Dumpster, most Canadians were focussing on stuff that actually affects their lives like grocery prices, inflation, high housing costs, the increase in crime, the increase in drug use and the flood of TFWs. And THOSE are the things that are still affecting our lives, not the tariffs. But we took the bait and voted for the 'tariff' guy and ignored the guy who's been talking about the more important issues the whole time.
"Donnie is a full of shit narcissist blowhard and he fails at everything he touches."
Tell that to all those people taken off the streets by masked men and whisked off to El Salvador or "Alligator Alcatraz".>
Thats a short term consequence and unfortunate for those people. But look at the long term consequence - America continues to lose credibility in the eyes of the world. Dumpster Donnie, while a hero to the party faithful, is increasingly despised and the American economy is paying the price as not just Canadians but other world citizens are avoiding US good and tourism. He thinks he's "winning" so bigly. He's only delaying his ouster.
