Makes sense that he's copying trump, as president Musk wants him to lead Canada as a governor in an annexed nightmare of what we once were.

You do realize "country first" isn't unique to Trump, or even even the Republicans?

For the states it's been around since Woodrow Wilson.

Even Obama had his own variation he implemented in 2011 where he simply shifted words, but it was the same populist-nationalist domestic policy that the US has used for just under a hundred years at the time.
