    I wonder if they’ll come down and burn the White House again. Don’t piss off the Canadians.

      We keep that a secret. So if we’re gonna do it, you won’t know until after.

      I hear it’s a car dealership now for fat old white guys, so maybe no one will notice.

    Despite the internal issues Canada is facing, sadly, there are worse external problems to worry about at the moment.

    European here, proud of Canada for standing up to those echoing totalitarian rethoric. We all need unison, and given that even the so-called ‘freest nation on earth’ is at the precipice of fascism, no one should underestimate that possibility from happening to any other free nation if given the chance to fester.

    For a safer world for all of us, Europe has your back.

      +1 for Canada - Europe axis and more collab. We just might be able to stand up to the 2 biggest bullies on the planet.

      the so-called ‘freest nation on earth’

      No-one but themselves ever called it that.

      This was a real nail biter at the beginning. Atlantic Canada usually votes liberal and the conservatives were making unseen gains.

      So we’re clear, so the right wing propaganda that’s all over Reddit doesn’t spread here like wild fire, the Canadian “liberals” are just as bad as the Americans.

      And the reason they formed a minority government is the same reason Kamala lost, their insistence on genocide. The liberal party won in Canada, because the Canadian people rejected the conservative party more, but the liberal minority government has no bite.

      They didn’t defeat fascism, they (like us) desperately want a third option and didn’t have a feasible one. It’s not as bad as it could have been, so sure, “Great work, Canada!” But now the real work starts if they don’t want to go through this same drama next election.

      They just kept the fascist coin on the same face for another cycle.

        I haven’t heard a single Canadian mention that as an election issue, and I’d been following the election. I live in a metropolitan city, and I have many Muslims in my social circles. I also have people in my social circles who lean more NDP, and others who are further left than that.

        Canada is in existential need of electoral reform. People should be able to vote for who they actually want to represent them.

        I admit it. I thought the headline refered to the Canadian politician who lost the election with a bang. Apparently not.

        It is, because on the day of our election he spouted off, yet again, about us becoming the 51st state.

        Honest to god if he hadn’t said a word about forcing us to become the 51st state right after his inauguration the Liberals would have lost and we would be fucked.

        Florida man cost the Conservatives big time … ergo he lost them the election.

        I was confused by the title too but this makes sense to me, given that many people thought the conservative leader was essentially a puppet for trump.

      When you’re rich you can buy property anywhere in the US. You just can’t run/vote in more than one jurisdiction.

    Do you think Trump got confused by the whole red team / blue team thing being different?
