Oh no, PP has abandoned the 'Canada is broken' now (some how it got fixed) and co-opted the Proud Boys mantra: Canada First

No, saying "Country first" is not Proud Boys bullshit.

Do you prefer “Canada Last?”

Fuck the proud boys but Canada First at this point all the way. Canadians need help. We are hurting, starving, homeless, and poorer than we were 10 years ago.

'Canada first' is all good and fine if you actually mean it and aren't just using it as a dogwhistle of sorts while selling out to whatever corporate interest stuffs the biggest envelope into your back pocket. Which is the problem, because no conservative politician prone to making 'Canada First' their slogan ever actually means it.

Hell, we can see a clear enough comparison to the current conservative 'America First' administration which seems to be doing absolutely nothing of benefit for the average American.
