    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.

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

      +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.

        It’s like the Lucky Strike BAR Honda team. Nothing lucky about them. Zero race victories. 15 podiums out of 118 races. Zero constructor points on its debut.

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

    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.

        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.

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

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