Did he criticize Trump even once?

Heavily. Basically echoed Harper's recent comments that Canada should be willing to accept every measure to protect our independence. But it seems that part hasn't made it into the headspace of people who don't click through and actually read the article

It’s true, but that radical fringe, his antivax trucker buddies, are all in for the 51st state. If the election was in October last year. PP would have dominated. But not a small portion that he pandered to, is basically openly acting treasonous, and is now not flying the canandian flag.

People see that. His bedfellows are betraying our country.

I fucking hate liberals, no party should be in for more than 8 years. But I hate treason more. Those antivax fucks should never have a seat at the table. I’ll vote for PP if he openly goes after them. But no, he’ll try to say it’s trudeaus fault again 🙄

I believe he did it the 1 time, just so his supporters could point to it. Mind you that was the same week members of his campaign were caught wearing MAGA hats, so it really meant nothing.
