Election in Canada

[wtg]

Donald Trump might as well be on the ballot when Canadians vote for a new government.

The U.S. president’s trade war and threats to make Canada the 51st state have infuriated Canadians and led to a surge in nationalism that has helped the Liberal Party flip the narrative heading into Monday’s parliamentary election, at least in opinion polls.

“Trump is the campaign,” former Quebec Premier Jean Charest said. “The ballot question is who is the person we are going to choose to face Trump. Everything has changed.”

Foreign policy hasn’t affected a Canadian election this much since 1988, when, ironically, free trade with the United States dominated the political discourse.

Ha! The people of Canada took a look at what a conservative government actually looks like and didn’t like what they saw.

Smart people, those Canadians.

So relieved. My area is still totally Conservative (and it shows) but at least the country is in good hands.

I'll show my ignorance. My guess was that guy who always argued with Trudeau in Parliament would end up replacing him.
