1 year ago? How about 5 years ago?

I mean if he was unhinged but was making your lifes better I would understand but the guy doesn't even care and it's making your lifes worst. I'm I crazy to think that american are crazy to vote for him, or is he making your lifes better in any way?

Not a critic, just really want to understand

This stuff is first and foremost meant for the eyes of his supporters

Can’t give you Reddit gold, so i present Lemmy Juicebox🧃, the highest honor that one can bestow upon a comment or post on Lemmy

LOL some smooth brains no doubt will. Will be counted as spoiled ballots.

Poilievre alrady said he wants to align more with Trump's America. He'll absolutely sell us out.

And America will pay for it!

He doesn't understand what "trade deficit" means.

He is incapable of understanding mutual trade and cooperation. To him every human interaction must have a winner and a loser. So if Canada is benefiting from trade with the US in his mind it must be at America's expense. It's a disturbingly simple view of trade and cooperation, and one that makes actual good faith discourse with the US near impossible.

Population wise it’s like adding another California

I guess more likely they’ll become like puerto rico or guam or something.

This is what you need to keep foremost in your mind. There is no conceivable reality in which the US conquers (yes conquers, they can call it annexation all they want but at the end of the day Trump wants a conquest to his name) Canada and gives any semblance of voting or personal rights to Canadians. Hell, even if Canada was somehow persuaded into voluntarily joining the US, this regime would never, ever honour any kind of arrangement that gave Canadians a fair deal. They are fascist bullies, as close to actual evil as we've seen in North America in a very long time, and they have no interest in any sort of fair bargain.

That’s correct. I want an immediate end to Canada selling discounted oil, gas and hydroelectricity to the US.

It has long been the case, that if you confuse a Canadian for an American they are offended, but if you confuse an American for a Canadian they don’t mind.

Only if you assume elections will keep happening.

Not like this though

The guy is ranting about a criminal investigation into why his polling numbers are so low. He's quite literally a demented old man. I think he really isn't rational enough to see that that he is harming the man he wants to win.
