    you should be thanking the US for providing a stark enough warning to Canada not to elect Poilievre.

    Yeah… your government said something similar to Zelenskyy so forgive me if I find that a laughable if not downright stupid notion. While it’s true that Trump’s second election had an important role in enabling the Liberal party to maintain their majority, to even suggest that it was the sole reason is just insulting.

    The US has nothing to do with the actual function of the Canadian election process, that being citizens voting of their own will. Included with that is the fact that the Liberals also wouldn’t have won if the election process hadn’t been started in the first place, as you literally quoted, by Trudeau resigning independently of any US-caused factors. There’s nothing to thank any of you for, especially with the way things are with your hellscape of a country and how it’s treating us. You can infer where to shove it.

      Been yelling from the rooftops that if Canada isn’t careful it will slide into the same political trap, I mean the liberals we got are at best center right on average but Pollivre would be much MUCH worse so it’s the choice we have
