    It looks like Trump personally hates Trudeau, he’s lucky, in a couple of months we will have Poilievre the mini-trump as Canada PM…

    We, will not be so lucky…

      I’m guessing the Trump insanity will put a damper on Poilievre’s campaigning a bit, seeing as they’re easy to tie together, but Trudeau is such a dead weight it might not matter.

        The Cons could run anyone. It doesn’t matter. “Not Trudeau” will win the next election.

      Can we both just hitch a ride with Mexico? At least they got their first female president, plus she’s a scientist.

      Loads of LGBTQ2S+ folk in the States are hoping that Canada might be a safe haven until the American army jackboots their way north. My trans sister and her American wife included. I’m very concerned that if little PP gets in that might not be the case. My sister would be able to get in as we’re Canadian, but her wife might not be able to.
      This is definitely the worst timeline.

      At least if PP wins a minority that should limit the damage he can do, since the conservatives have a long tradition of not playing well with other parties.

    It was a novel written in the 1970s about the US invading Canada to get our oil supplies. It was called Exxoneration.

    If I remember it correctly, the Canadians were able to successfully resist over the long term.
