I can believe Trump changed it this drastically.

He was talking about annexing the country! His post on election day was full on syphillitic mad-king stuff, asking Canada to vote for him!

I could go on, a long list of stuff that would have been considered implausible in a comic book satire only a few years ago.

It's so interesting how few Americans are bothered by his talk of annexing allies like Canada or Greenland. Do people here think that the tariffs on Canada are about fentanyl? or Greenland is essential for "national security"?

I don't follow Canadian politics, but it's pretty obvious it's Trump and aggressive rhetoric that followed. It was reported very quickly after that that the tide is beginning to turn.

Liberals will increase the damage caused by Trump. Carney is escalating the rhetorics for political gain at cost to Canada, and is taking an antagonist position with respect to the Trump administration.

It seems illogical that people vote for liberals in response to Trump’s remarks. That will worsen the situation. A more politically aligned government might better manage it.

You clearly aren't Canadian, We are no fans of the elected liberal party but we have zero tolerance for the hate filled, anti-trans, anti-woke, anti-indigenous, anti-Palestinian bullshit spewed by the conservative leader. I could go on... So, while I wouldn't say I'm excited about the results I'll will - today at least - feel slightly more at ease.
