Canada’s Liberal party was left for dead, but Trump might have just given it a second chance

Summary

Canada’s Liberals, once expected to face a major election defeat, have seen a resurgence after Donald Trump suggested the U.S. might annex Canada.

His comments sparked a wave of patriotism, benefiting the Liberals while complicating Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s campaign.

Polls show the Liberals closing the gap, especially if Mark Carney leads the party.

With Trudeau stepping down and the carbon tax debate fading, the election may now center on who can best handle Trump.

Poilievre's total silence when shit started hitting the fan made it pretty clear he'd be gargling trump's hog if elected
It’s so funny. If Trump shut the hell up for at least a year, he would have had a Canadian government that was completely pliable to his demands. But he had to yap, and now Poilievre is no shoe-in.
- Plot twist: Trump and Musk are secretly champions of Liberalism and Democracy who, striving to strengthen again our antibodies against fascism and populism, decide that the world needs new villains to unite against and selflessly sacrifice themselves.
  As the two grow frustrated from the weak reactions, their antics become increasingly over-the-top to the point of caricature.
  I ran on a platform of insulting everyone and they elected me. Including most of the ones I was directly threatening with deportation
  yeah, I did a f*ing Nazi salute right at your inauguration. Twice, to make sure it got caught on video
  ha good one! I said I'd annex Canada and Greenland. Oh, and that I'd turn Gaza into a great resort!
  Sh#t, that was a good one, surely there's a crowd with pitchforks out there now? No? The f*k is wrong witth these people!?
Liberalism and fascism are co-dependent right-wing ideologies.
- Define Liberalism please
  
  Thinking that doing the bare minimum makes you the saviour of humanity.
Doesn't matter what you read. Vote.
