On the day of the Canadian election, Trump continues to campaign aggressively for the Liberals:
Words cannot describe how annoying this is. We had a guaranteed conservative victory until Trump decided to interfere. This is beyond self-defeating and dumb.
Trump’s schtick has always been to cause chaos in order to throw the counter-party in negotiations off balance. If the Liberals win tonight, certain the western provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan will move towards independence and/or joining the USA. The move will be from the bottom up, the Premiers of those provinces will be powerless in the face of popular sentiment.
The dominos will fall and our beloved Canada will be a footnote in history.
Thanks Donald Trump
I can’t imagine several more years of Lib insanity. I mean, I can imagine but I don’t want to because it’s scary.

Carney’s Liberal Party will be much different than Trudeau’s – certainly in regards to issues important to Alberta, Carney’s home province.

Why would Liberals change if voters keep rewarding them for everything they did? The only thing politicians respond to is electoral loss. Nothing else has an effect.

Nobody changes course without a serious reason. For Carney to adopt something different from Trudeau, there needs to be a reason. What reason would there be, if Liberals are handed a win in this cycle?

I wish Canadians remembered that there’s more to their lives than Trump.
Or maybe there isn’t. I’m not even sure anymore.

What Trump is doing is certainly dumb. But don’t underestimate the stupidity of our fellow Canadians. They are willingly voting for more criminals “caught and released,” more “death to Canada” chants and spitting on the Canadian flag in public, more puberty blockers and surgeries for minors, more Hamas-loving immigrants, more taxes, more CBC lies, more “don’t drive” and “don’t eat meat” policies … I mean, it’s all out there. Carney’s never made any secret of what his policies will be. People are either choosing to ignore all the information readily available, or they are … happy?
I also can’t believe how easy it is for Liberals to dupe Canadians. They have decided to blame all of the mistakes of the past decade on Trudeau as if Trudeau was an exception and not the rule in the Liberal Party.

Our politicians seem to respond to losses by doubling down on their positions. I guess they’ve given up on being a big tent and are focusing on their core supporters.

He’s managing to unite the separatist Quebecois behind the liberals, and likely single handedly forcing a liberal victory. Get Japan, China, and South Korea to start co-operating, destroying our relationship with Europe. Align with Russian only to find out he’s being treated like a little bitch by Putin. What a disaster his foreign policy has been; and we haven’t even started to see the effects of his tariffs.
I think many on this blog can understand the need for change in the status quo, many of it very necessary. But there is serious risk, as we’re starting to see with Canada, that it will all back fire horrendously resulting in a complete reversal of his policies.

Yes. And the worst part is that there is no gain or even remotely possible gain. Nobody wants Canada to be “the 51 State.” It’s not even a pipe dream, it’s a stupid joke. We are losing a historic possibility of turning things around in a neighboring country for… a stupid, clumsy joke. This is very, very frustrating.
Great gains domestically but on foreign policy it’s one fail after another. Needless, clumsy, unnecessary fails. Undisciplined, ranting, self-indulgent behavior will be our downfall.

Conservatives led a horrible campaign. Their lack of preparation is insane. I think Conservatives would have been better off with Jean Charest, who, just like Carney, is in fact a moderate conservative.
Whoever wins tonight, the fact that Trump was the only concern during the elections shows that this country is already the 51st American state.
Ol.
The second paragraph hurts even to read. But, unfortunately, it’s not untrue. This shouldn’t be about Trump. Trump shouldn’t have this inordinate effect. Canada has its own thing going. Or should have its own thing.
This is painful to watch.

We were brainwashed with American culture growing up. At least it led to some amusing video games.

A good way to understand the Canadian/Liberal mindset is to read Richard Adams’s Watership Down.

I very vaguely remember that this book opposes tyranny, though. Don’t the bunnies escape in order not to be held down by a totalitarian setup?
I might be confusing it with another book, however. Are there other Canadian bunnies who like being locked up, censored and harangued?

Well, the novel is about one group of bunnies who defy the majority bunnies’ groupthink mentality in their quest for freedom, which has to be fought for and at a cost.
The other bunnies accept their unfree existence for the sake of a cruel live-and-let-live routine, oblivious to the slave-like conditions to which they are subjected.
We’ll see which route Canadian bunnies chose today but I’m not hopeful.
