Problem is, in our political system, globalism has a pretty firm grip on all alternatives to Justin Trudeau, the new “populist champion” Poilievre talks a somewhat better game than the guy he replaced (Erin O’Toole) but suspicions remain among conservatives that he will be mostly talk and will cave in on key issues if he gets into power, much as we’ve seen in the past with tough talking conservatives here.
The only changes we could reasonably expect would be a slight shift of tone and pace of change. But to get real substantial anti-globalist change, it would require the election of a party standing at about 3% in the polls (Max Bernier’s PPC) and with the faux-cons most likely to replace Trudeau it will just be another Charlie Brown moment. We’ve had a number of them in the past with both Harper and Mulroney although I would certainly prefer either of them to any Liberal.
Justin must be seen in top international power circles as a doofus and basically the asterisk of NATO and the G7. He won’t catch on, with his monumental ego (a factor that cannot help us with the paternity conundrum :) ).
Anyway, don’t overestimate how much control or influence this idiot has, most political decisions in Canada are made at the provincial level. Our federal government is probably a lot weaker in relative terms than your own.

Great line, but really, Mick, you wanted that?
