Summary

Donald Trump’s return to office and his aggressive trade policies have dramatically reshaped Canadian politics.

His 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, combined with disparaging comments about Canada’s sovereignty, have sparked widespread anti-Trump sentiment.

Formerly struggling, the Liberal Party has seen a surge in support, nearly erasing a 20-point Conservative lead.

Newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney, a financial expert with no prior elected experience, now faces the challenge of responding to Trump’s actions. Meanwhile, Canada has retaliated with tariffs, boycotts, and diplomatic resistance, escalating tensions between the two nations.

    How can the people of Canada vote for anyone in Trump’s camp? Anyone who has said they agree with Trump should be voted against 100%. Why give someone the power to hand the country over to this orange sack of shit?

        I feel like they want to watch their boogeymen get ruled and conquered by a king… I’m not so sure they’re thinking far enough ahead to realize their own eventual subjugation and domination, unless they’re rich, isn’t worth watching others suffer.
