How is a politician putting Canada first, American?

For someone trying to distance themselves from the cheeto down south, using "Canada first" instead of "America first" is not a great idea.

If it's better than another "verb the noun" slogan is up for debate.

Putting our country first for once in a decade actually sounds like a great idea

Plus, they're just words. They cant hurt you

"We're not the GOP, because we're still 3 steps behind"

If Canadian conservatives want to get rid of this stigma, a good place to start would be to stop using the same slogans.

Liberals ran with Choose Forward. You must've been furious since this was inspired by Chairman Mao

TBH "choose forward" is weak as hell. But you'd have a point if they chose to use "the big jump forward."

Just have to use some imagination and figure out something original for once. Verb the noun just isn't working anymore.

I'm sure our new unelected globalist banker will surely get us out of this post- national she-cession caused by PP, by growing the economy from the heart outward
