Canada is not Trump's fault

Trump's shenanigans during Canada's last election cycle may have contributed to Canada's on-going Liberal fever problem, Canada's problems were never Trump's fault:

This goes deeper

I am a Canadian by birth, not by choice. In Canada, as a conservative, the wins are unfortunately much more rare than they should be. Right before the recent federal election, where Canadians were scared into voting Liberal AGAIN, after 10 stunningly bad Liberal years under the idiot Trudeau, we had a snap provincial election in Ontario. It wasn't time for one, but the conservative premier called for one because he was doing well in the polls. Doug Ford won re-election with almost no change in support or representation in parliament from his previous majority provincial government.  All in all, a waste of time and money.

But Doug Ford leveraged the same fear of the boogeyman Donald Trump that now prime minister Mark Carney did, to win.  Everyone in Canada seemed to know Mark Carney was an empty suit, a total dud, except for senior citizens who immediately panicked and got him re-elected.  In Ontario it was a different story.  Doug Ford,  while seemingly good on some issues, was pretty flat on others.  I voted for Doug Ford.  My whole family voted for Doug Ford.  While it was no deep-seated endorsement of the man, it was the knowledge that a provincial Liberal win, or worse a provincial NDP (the socialist party that is officially and ironically called the New Democratic Party) win would doom the province.  Both parties have won in the past and the province has paid the price.  We haven't had a conservative leader since the 1990s.

And we still don't. 

I voted for this completely imbecilic boob of a man who might as well be a provincial Liberal party leader. I voted for  Pierre Poilievre for prime minister. He's a common sense conservative who would have been able to work with president Trump (if only), I expected stupidity and failure from Mark Carney and he did not disappoint.  With Doug Ford, this goes deeper.  I didn't expect great conservatism from him but he has really betrayed conservatives, the province of Ontario and all of Canada with his absolutely buffoonery.  His blustery "I'm tough and I'm going to stand up to Trump" attitude is fake.  He's weak and it's obvious.   Not only that, it's so painfully misguided. Danielle Smith, the premier of Alberta, is making deals with the president and Alberta is doing a lot better than Ontario these days.  She happens to be a real conservative, not for nothing.

It's not just the bluster, it turns out, he can't run a province.  That aside, this latest attack on Trump was pointless unless the objective was to derail trade talks.

I may actually abstain from voting in the next provincial election. A few months ago, I wrote to my local member of provincial parliament, commending him on the job he has done but calling for new provincial party leadership. I never heard back. Either he didn't care, was too scared to respond, or doesn't check his emails. Either way, they've lost my support until something changes. 

Canada really is a heartbreaking ship-show

If you live in America and you want to know how bad it has gotten in Canada in the last 10 years, watch this entire video (90% of which is people talking about specific issues). I guarantee you your mind will be blown. It's actually heartbreaking. 

(If you want to see the economic situation, skip to 6:40).

The saddest part of this is that Canadian media is 1000% in on the Liberal Party game. There is no Fox News or equivalent here (unless you pay extra to get the American Fox News channel). We are instead fed a steady diet of how great Trudeau was, how great Carney is, how terrible the conservatives are. And you know what?  The propaganda works. Even conservative leaders have to be careful to make sure they look like they see Trump as the bad guy or they will get politically wrecked. It's gotten so bad that that sort of thinking has infected many within the Conservative Party. 40% of Canadians back our common sense Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre. Yet it's not enough to overcome the political media machine that cranks up every election. Poilievre was on track to historically demolish Justin Trudeau, and potentially wipe out the Liberal Party. But as soon as the party switched leaders Mark Carney became Canada's supposed economic savior.

All that while Pierre Poilievre's since removed top political advisor was hanging up the phone on Donald Trump Jr., alienating the Trump family. That's what's called a perfect storm of BAD.

But ultimately it is the Canadian people who are being decimated by ruinous policies, whether they are brainwashed Liberal Party simps or clear-thinking rationale people (conservatives). Canada has become unsustainable and unless there is a change in the next 12 months, it will collapse in the coming few years.

Canadian voters are idiots

President Trump made himself the boogeyman in the last Canadian election.  What did voters do? Vote for the same party that has decimated our economy. Why? Fear. Actually fear combined with sheer stupidity. We have a long way to go to catch up with Americans as far as common sense goes.

New Oil Pipeline in Canada?

Mark Carney is an idiot prime minister, but he's smart enough to know running the country as a leftist liberal he's not going to survive with his minority government. But in Trump's wake and the tariff situation he's still way out of his depth.

His party caused a massive Canadian malaise and he cannot just will it away with pronouncements on oil pipelines or the housing market:

Canadian unemployment is going up, unlike in the U.S.; Canada's problems run deep.

Canada's Prime Minister is an idiot

Mark Carney needs to go.

Canadian prime minister, totally weak

Trump winning yet again... 

More Canadian Liberal Stupidity

Trump stopped the tariff talks with Canada. Here's why, and the fallout for ordinary Canadians:

The irony, is that Trump's actions would actually force Carney to drop taxes on American companies and it would end up helping Canadian consumers.  Carney instead, is intent on hurting them.

Canada's media, prime minister look like idiots

President Trump continues to troll Canada effectively, both the media and the prime minister:

Trump versus Canadian leadership

The one-sidedness of the results speak for themselves:

A quick example

Related to my last post:

For those of you keeping score

Canada's newly elected, and clearly floundering prime minister (liberal leftist nut) Mark Carney, did exactly what I was telling friends before the election. After stealing all of conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's ideas to get elected, he's reneging on all of them. There are a lot of stupid Canadians who fell for this trick.

This is kind of old news now, but expect more of the same to come.

Jordan Peterson makes my second point about Trump's bad call

I spoke about this earlier:

Canadian Election Disaster Trilogy

This is not the total disaster I had feared. Liberal, World Economic Forum golden boy Mark Carney was parachuted in to save the Liberal Party of Canada from the disaster known as Justin Trudeau. Notice he wasn't parachuted in to save Canada, but to save the Liberal Party. Pick your theatrical villain, this guy is it: 

Yep, that's him with the associate of you-know-who.

Sadly, Canada is full of uninformed people (due largely to our lock-step Leftist media), weak-willed cowards with a knee-jerk reaction to president Trump's tariffs.  

Going into the election, the Conservative party had a somewhat charismatic (in an understated way) leader unafraid to take on the media, unafraid to talk common sense. He was winning so much support, it looked possible that the Liberal party could be actually wiped out entirely. Less than four months ago, Conservatives were a certainty. Meanwhile the Liberals had historically unpopular Justin Trudeau. A global laughing stock of a leader.  After a decade people tend to tire of the incumbents, that's true anywhere not just Canada. 

There was a lot that went wrong with Canada's populist revival, and it was a perfect storm of sh@% that resulted in a Liberal 4th consecutive term, albeit barely. What happened? Three things mainly.

One - Too soon, too personal

Well the first problem was the Conservative party's strategy worked too well. Once Pierre Poilievre was elected leader of the party the strategy to demonize Justin Trudeau starting years before the election date worked. It worked so well, that along with Justin Trudeau's own contribution of ineptitude and horrible policies,  the Liberals approval ratings were near flatline. The problem though was twofold. Firstly they started way too early. The other problem; it was too Trudeau-centric. The Conservative popularity soared and Trudeau's waned abysmally as he deserved. But because this happened a year before the mandated latest election date, and because it was so closely tied to Trudeau, the Liberal party was able to jettison Trudeau and solve both problems at once.  A 'fresh' 'new' face cleared punted the problem for the Liberals. 

True, nobody wanted Trudeau, not even liberal voters. But he was no longer on the ballot. The Conservatives were a victim of their own early success. Liberals had time to present themselves, along with a compliant media as revitalized and different.  It's not true, as has often been pointed out, but it became the perception. Liberal voters flocked back to Liberal support, abandoning the other parties (mostly the NDP) they had drifted towards.

 

Two - I have to say it; Donald Trump

At one point probably 60% of conservative voters in Canada were very much pro-Trump for America. President Trump coming in and going after Trudeau with tariffs was a real miscalculation. Canadians didn't see it as an attack on the Trudeau they for the most part detested. They saw it as an attack on Canada. We've been a loyal friend to the United States for over a century. This about face made no sense. There are trade issues on both sides for sure, but we're not China.

Trump created a climate of fear in Canada that permeated the election cycle. It was now about Canadian sovereignty. That gave Pierre Poilievre a no-win hand to play. Endorse Trump and seem anti-Canadian to most of the country or talk tough and say Canada First. He had to chose the latter or get decimated in the election. But choosing the latter meant that he was just like the Liberals. This may have also been a strategic mistake. There was probably a third path; a path of reconciliation with America.  A path of let's address the concerns of both countries. But it would have taken an enormous campaign to get that message through and per point one; the Conservatives went through a lot of budget before the election even got started and probably couldn't muster the resources to carry that off.

President Trump inserted himself into a Canadian election in a way that hurt Conservatives' election chances. It may have been a deliberately gamble to help the Conservatives but if so, it failed. Badly. While addressing trade grievances and fentanyl issues are certainly important and admirable, this was ill-timed and will end up hurting working class and middle class Canadians who are suffering badly already thanks to their Liberal overlords. I know, I am one of them. The Canadian economy for ordinary Canadians is on the ropes. This could spell the death of Canadian middle class. 

Three - Jagmeet Singh

The clown of a leader for the New Democratic Party (socialists), Jagmeet Singh was so self-serving that for years he propped up Justin Trudeau, holding on as long as he thought was possible. If he had had any backbone, Canada could have held an election any time over the last two years. Didn't happen. He kept Trudeau in power long enough to give the Liberals time for an alternative. Singh earned himself enough tenure for a lucrative lifetime government but he lost his own seat in parliament in the election as a result. He decimated his own party to a rump in parliament with virtually no power anymore. And it cost Canada. If he'd been less a Trudeau lacky Canada would have had a conservative Prime Minister and his NDP party would have been better off too. His selfish and progressive ambitions have made Canada a country on life support.

There's your trilogy of reasons for the disaster. There's a trilogy of disastrous outcomes for Canada, we are stuck with more World Economic Forum leftist leadership. We have a squandered opportunity for conservative populism and for a reinvigorated relationship with the United States

Not all is lost

I started by saying this was not the complete disaster it could have been. It's true.  The Liberals do not have a majority government in parliament. Support from the ruined NDP party won't be enough to keep them in power now. They are subject to a non-confidence motion and a snap election at any time. The conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois (who don't like the Conservatives but detest the Liberals) will likely see to it that the government lasts 18 months or less. My gut says 9 - 12 months. People will have time to see Carney is every bit the villain that Justin Trudeau was. A conservative majority is still a looming possibility, perhaps merely delayed.

Canada's Liberal Party's secret tax - incoming

The Liberal 'savior' Mark Carney decided to do away with the carbon tax that he supported for years as a copycat move from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre to win voters. Really original Mark. In any case, he's a globalist and very anti-carbon. So instead, in secret he's going to make it impossible for Canadians to buy cars unless they are expensive all-electric cars.

Pierre Poilievre MUST win the Canadian election!

Here's why. The contrast here is so stark:

Canadian Liberals, still cheating

I'm fearful for my country. We truly are one impending election away from the point of no return.

THIS IMBECILE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR CANADA

If Mark Carney wins the next election in Canada, we are lost.  We don't deserve to be a country anymore.  Take the hint America.

In Canada, conservative leader is recovering from post Trudeau leftist bump

In Canada the next federal election is on April 28th. Justin Trudeau's replacement (the equally awful Mark Carney), saw a massive polling swing in favor of the Liberal party, just because it was no longer Justin Trudeau running. The conservatives, who had been poised to win a massive super-majority, and provide a strong ally for Trump going forward, got swamped in polls post-Liberal-leadership-change and post-Trump-pronouncements. 

But as time wore on, the polls have started revert to the previous state. The question is will the trend have enough time to continue moving before election day.  Make no mistake a Liberal win here is terrible news for Canadians but also bad news for America as they will turn the tariff situation into an all out trade war. That's bad for everyone.

Canada's Future-Failed Prime Minister

Mark Carney will be worse than Trudeau. Polling in Canada for the leftist Liberal party has soared in response to president Trump's tariff threats to Canada. What was inevitably going to be our version of Trump (Pierre Poilievre) this year is in definitely jeopardy. 

Should Mark Carney continue as Prime Minister past the election, Canada is destined to fail. Fast. Canada's failure would not be because of Trump, but rather failed and disproven Liberal socialist policies. Trump may be the boogeyman to Canadian media but the real monster is the power hungry, socialist monsters running our nation for the last decade.
