As a native Canuck, Steyn was apparently far more ambivalent about the "conservative" than most here were...and for good reason, it seems.

Let's just say, I am in no hurry to visit Canada.

Canada’s conservatives want to conserve leftist victories.

Canada’s leftists want to march on to new ones.

Some times, as the jews of the b8ble demonstrate, you just need it good and hard, then gooder and harder.

They just voted for LOTS of economic hurt via tariffs and stupid liberal spending policies. Not to mention more censorship and authorities lockdowns. “Elbows up” their own asses.

Re-posted from an earlier thread ...

Something that doesn’t get much attention in this election is that there is really no upside to a Trump administration with a "conservative" government in Canada.

The U.S. dollar, for example, is about 40% stronger against the Canadian dollar today than it was during the peak of the "conservative" administration of Stephen Harper. Having done business on both sides of the border, I can tell you that the heyday of my Canadian operation was during the Harper administration while my U.S. work was facing major challenges.

Does anyone ever watch Viva Frei on YouTube? A former Canadian lawyer, he’s since moved to FLA, but he was not impressed with Pierre’s conservatism.

Exactly. Conservatives lose because they do not actually stand for anything, or offer Canada a positive vision. Straw polls had Trump leading in Canada (and it’s been that way for about 10 years). You’d think the tories would take note.

Trump needs to jack up Carney’s butt and tell he to stop the illegal alien invasion of America from Canada. All of the Indians and Pakis are coming in through Canada.

This election was largely a result of Trump.

Not to mention that Canada’s elections are probably rigged anyway.

Canadians just voted for a safe base for American seditionists to foment color revolution in our country.

Canada may well become a refuge, or worse, for the NGO crowd seething with wounded pride. As Cambodia was for the Viet Cong, so too will Carney’s Canada become for Antifa and BLM.

I hope we are prepared for a serious counteroffensive if one is required. And by serious, I mean admission for Alberta, and occupation of the Maritimes.

We can live with a Canada that disapproves of us. We should not live with one that supports sedition and revolution in the USA.

Just close the border, ehh?

On a good day, a Canadian conservative is like an old school liberal Democrat in the US, NOT even a blue dog union type. Still too neo-European, and hide your guns, please.

I hope Trump absolutely lays the wood to Canada. NO breaks on Tariffs. Drive Canada to its knees.

“Steyn was apparently far more ambivalent about the “conservative” than most here were.”

What is ambivalent about “Pierre Pussievre”?

I love DJT almost to an immoral degree. But I must say that his "51st state" stuff was foolish...particularly knowing that there was an election coming up. Also,he should have delayed his tariffs on Canada for the same reason. I'm not saying he should have skipped them...just delayed them until after their election.

The Maoists won because of Trump. There's no getting around it.
