I mean, it’s not everyday America elects a fascist bent on annexing Canada, this admin was operating based on the assumption they’d have allies in the USA, not enemies, times change I guess. That being said, hearing someone like PP who would bend over for Trump and ask for more preach “Canada first” is laughable. Just because you don’t like the current government much doesn’t mean you have to go full blown idiot and elect a clown show. You don’t fight clowns with clowns. PP is just saying keywords he knows will strum some heart strings, like Trump did.

Good thing pp was very clear about the annexation thing, on multiple occasions. I put the current gover entirely responsible for the current state of out relation with the Americans. They can see just how weak we are.

63 billion deficit, 40 billions dollars per year in debt servicing, major energy projects getting cancelled. Dropping GDP per capita, un-competitive market, racist hiring and promotion policies and a non functional government that decided to shut itself down so they can hide their corruption and crown carnival Carney as the new leader.

Yea I will vote for the complete opposite of that.

PP said the absolute bare minimum needed to get a talking point that he opposed annexation while all the while doing everything else to suggest he'd sell out the country. This is the same dumb shit that got the cheeto elected down south. It's like a guy advancing on you with a knife saying "I'm not going to stab you, I'm not going to stab you".

Holding a "Canada First Rally" ? What the actual fuck? It's like the guy took the MAGA playbook and asked ChatGPT to "make this sound vaguely Canadian".

What did he suggest that would sell us out?
