In Canada, a somewhat Trump inspired populist right leaning party had 100% of winning the next election.prediction markets had it at 93%.

since the beginning of Trumps tarring stacks, the center left party had surged in popularity to a degree not even thought possible. If the election was today, they would win.

Trump is giving people somebody to rally against. And the “us” vs “them” is the the world vs the US.

Every country should refuse to send eggs to the US.

The only way I would consider it would be if there was a US wide broadcast where the world leader that gives them some has a low-level staffer ask JD Vance if he is going to “say thank you even once”. Trump needs to then tell JD that he has to say thank you because “we don’t have the cards. With them, we start to have cards”.

If they won’t say that on television, put export tariffs on eggs to the US at 500%.

It has to be 500% because 3 times the current price of eggs in Canada is about what they are selling for in the US already.

It is because the Russians actually had settlements down the coast.

If they invade Canada, they better not grant citizenship. 30 million New Democrats (75% of Canadians), many new senators, and a bunch of electoral collage votes. There would not be another Republican government for at least a generation. Starting in 2026 (mid-terms).

Just the Canadians already living in the US would have stopped Trump from winning last election.

All we need to do is remind them of the above and they will never, ever invade. It is perhaps our most powerful shield.

With the above in mind, stop sending them nickel immediately. Their military will do the negotiating for us.

The only have the power we give them. Please give them none.

I think that is correct. Also, if you are looking for boogeymen, the immigration rings true as a problem for young people because Canada legit did go a bit too crazy and especially with International students. If you are young, and every school and workforce you are competing for is suddenly stuffed with foreigners, it sounds like the conservatives are right. That makes it easier to accept that they are right about house prices, climate, other social issues, etc.

More importantly, you don’t have to believe the conservatives, you just have to be mad at the Liberals for being in power as long as you can remember and screwing it up.

Changing leaders gives the Liberals a chance to also be a “new” team.
