The only upside that I can see is that Canadians will have a year to see what a trump style government can do to a country… Also a trump style government is the same as a poilievre government.
The only people who care are already against dictatorships.
Stop calling it “Trump style”. It already has a name that everyone knows and it is called Fascism.
We’ll see. As an Albertan I’m hoping other voter pools will even recognize the harm for what it is. I have family members who would be absolutely thrilled to have abortion made illegal, forced Christianity in schools, homophobia/transphobia/Islamophobia, anti-immigration and hostile foreign policies, etc. There’s a reason Alberta is called Canada’s Texas.
The media, and the other parties, would have to actually tie Milhouse to Trump in some meaningful way for that to actually matter. People, genuinely, will not do that on their own.
And I don’t believe any institutions are going to do that, either, as it’s seen as generally impolite, and institutions of power care more about decorum than actually being a help to anyone.
I hope the Liberals and NDP learn from Trump’s surprisingly good results. Populism is really big right now and any party not embracing that as a means of staying relevant will not stand a chance of forming a government imo. (See the carbon rebate debacle, for example. I don’t like this, but it’s how I see things in the era of most people getting their news on billionaire-run social media platforms). Unfortunately, I do not foresee Trudeau stepping aside or acting with any ‘shape up or ship out’ pressure to adapt
Singh passed a leadership review just last year with pretty substantial margins. I don’t see any changes happening unless the liberals do first, in which case the NDP will just be playing follow the leader.
Nope.
This is going to shift Canadian politics to the right, and embolden the fascists. This just significantly increased Poilievre’s chances of winning.
The idiots voting for PP WANT the Trumpy carnage. It’s what they’re voting for. They’re angry and stupid and want to see people who aren’t them get hurt for being “woke.”
Trumpy shit happening down south is just going to make them want the same shit here.
