    It’s like every other country saw the US under Trump and went, “yeah, but surely OUR conservatives aren’t like that. Besides, do we really want four or five more years of dem librulls?”

    Canada is on track to follow suit in our next election with our own little fascist darling Poilievre.

        The biggest enemy of any leftist group is another leftist group that’s completely indistinguishable for everyone except the members of those two groups

          Divide et impera. Still as effective now as it ever was throughout history. Whether it’s planned by nefarious parties, or naturally occurring from lack of teamwork.

      Idk about you, but plenty of conservatives even in other countries love Trump because he hates the right people and is seen as some “anti-woke” messiah.

        Oh yeah, there are definitely conservatives in Canada who love Trump because he’s a monster. But even those who hate him will ignore or play dumb when our conservative politicians are praising Desantis or posing for photo ops with known members of white nationalist groups.

      All because Trudeau can’t get a hint and just accept that he needs to give his place to someone else.
