You think American leftists have Trump Derangement Syndrome? They’ve got nothing on Canadians, who just chose to remain on the path of national decline and self-destruction that they’ve been on for the last ten years, just to spite Donald Trump. In order to demonstrate their nationalism, Canada just chose a socialist internationalist as prime minister. Yes, it’s that crazy, and worse.
The Liberal Party’s Mark Carney, who succeeded the disastrous eternal boy Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister on March 14, was elected in his own right in Canada’s Monday election. It was an outcome that would have seemed inconceivable as recently as December, when the Conservative Party held a comfortable lead in the polls. A Conservative victory seemed so certain that numerous pundits were talking about not if, but when Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre became prime minister. After ten years of Trudeau’s far-left misrule, a Conservative victory seemed inevitable.
Then, however, came the Nov. 29, 2024, meeting at Mar-a-Lago between Trump and Trudeau. Trump told Trudeau that “Canada has failed the U.S. border by allowing large amounts of drugs and people across the border, including illegal immigrants from over 70 different countries,” and warned him that “if Canada cannot fix the border issues and trade deficit, he will levy a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods on day one when he returns to office.”
In response, Trudeau complained that Trump couldn’t impose such a tariff “because it would kill the Canadian economy completely.” Trump responded by asking Trudeau, “So your country can’t survive unless it’s ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion?” Driving his point home, Trump “suggested to Trudeau that Canada become the 51st state, which caused the prime minister and others to laugh nervously.”
After that, Trump delighted in calling the Canadian prime minister “Governor Trudeau” and repeated his declaration several times that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state. This led to a frenzy of outrage in Canada. After Trudeau finally departed from the scene, both Carney and Poilievre denounced Trump for his trolling and stood up stoutly for Canada’s wounded national pride.
Paradoxically, however, because Poilievre is a Conservative whose program lines up more closely with Trump’s on most issues than does that of the Liberals, Carney was able to take better advantage of the anti-Trump outrage and erase the Conservative lead in the polls. And so Canadians have struck back against Trump by giving the Liberals a majority and ensuring that Carney will remain prime minister. Yet Poilievre is the actual Canadian nationalist, while Carney is yet another World Economic Forum-linked socialist internationalist who will continue the hollowing-out of Canada that Justin Trudeau pursued with almost as much vigor as he brought to Taylor Swift concerts. Trump even repudiated Poilievre and said he would prefer to work with Carney, whereupon Canadians, to spite Trump, voted for the Liberals and ensured that Trump would get to work with Carney. Got it?
Over the last few years, the Liberals have inundated Canada with migrants at an even greater rate than Old Joe Biden brought them into the United States. Now that will continue. Canadian industries, like American ones, have been largely outsourced to other countries, resulting in the immediate sugar high of lower prices for Canadians, but leading also to Canada’s steady economic decline, just as has happened in the States as well. Now that will continue also.
David Lametti, a former Liberal Justice Minister, was exultant, saying, “We were dead and buried in December. Now we are going to form a government. We have turned this around, thanks to Mark.” Yeah, but Lametti and his colleagues will likely find out soon enough that this victory will be something they’d prefer to forget, rather than celebrate. Canadians will soon discover that in voting for Carney out of sheer spite, they have won a pyrrhic victory. Canada will continue to circle the drain instead of coming up with some viable way to live without that $100 billion from the U.S. that had Trudeau at the point of tears at the prospect of losing it.
Carney crowed, “The Americans want to break us so they can own us. Those aren’t just words. That’s what’s at risk.” Sure it is. And so now the Chinese will own you. Bravo. Canada’s election on Monday is the most vivid object lesson of all, at least up to now, of the dangers of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Because of media-stoked rage at Donald Trump, Canadian voters have chosen the path of national suicide. Hey, congratulations, eh?
Okay, I agree that Trump’s continual comments about Canada were obnoxious and demeaning but that’s no reason for Canadians to go and commit seppuku. Yet that’s just what they’ve done.
I wish he had kept quiet. But now Alberta may do something interesting, like vote for independence followed by…becoming the 51st state? If this incredible event happens, then I stand corrected–happily–on my first sentence.
People don’t realize that Trump has a sense of humour. But he could be right that we’d be better off being part of the States. But like when anyone pokes fun at someone, if you react to it that just means you’re going to get more. Do nothing and it dies off.
But Trump and the GOP wouldn’t want Canada as a state. Too many Indian issues, too many communists and socialists. It would guarantee two DNC senators and another blue state. Not a good plan.
I wonder did Chinas leaders publicly call out Canada as a subsidiary of their country, constantly humiliate their leaders, and from many Canadians view point threaten their economy. No they used Trumps obnoxiousness as a cudgel. Trump would have been better to have kept his views and threats unspoken until after the election.
Interesting how (and this is only one example) the corporate media made a brand out of calling Trump “rude,” “crass,” etc…..but Pelosi was allowed to tear up an SOTU speech, and no outcry about it at all. Add to that, FJB’s “Speech from Hell,” complete with red lighting, the constant name-calling of MAGA, and so much more—-but the dems are never at faulr.
Poor Canada. Saw that Poliere video with the apple and became an instant fan. Did not expect this.
When the GOP desperately needed a Republican to be elected to the Senate from Georgia, President Trump did not deliver. I-Got-Lots-of-Baby-Mamas Herschel Walker might not have been a “really great” candidate. Unfortunately, a sore-loser President Trump complained about election fraud. This might have caused some Republicans to stay home. The Dems got control of the Senate and House and did the bidding of President Biden.
Trump’s tariffs and criticism of the Fed have backfired. For the sake of our country, I hope things will improve on the economic front. If it does not, we’ll be looking at a disastrous repeat of 2020.
Trump’s impetuous nature might sell well with the hardcore MAGA crowd, but it does create negative blowback elsewhere.
LOL…*Republicans stayed home* because Trump rightfully complained about the obvious election fraud in installing an already publicly known literal dementia victim and legendarily mediocre career pol whose previous campaigns aborted over his plagiarism and pathological lying?
Of course 2024 was a disastrous repeat of ’20. I think a recession is going to start next week as soon as we get past this week.
Dow up 560 points today, Gold up $25, FENY recovering slowly from the tariff scare. Yeah I know it’s just one day, but it’s already two weeks since the tariff sell off happened.
Yeah Ritchie it’s just a nightmare on Wall Street.
You just can’t wait for the collective buyer’s remorse to set in, can you. Guess what Butt boy, you aren’t convincing anyone here. This is a conservative site. We have a couple of losers like you who always write negatively about Trump. So pathetic. He won bigger than the first time. Sucks to be you Ritchiethedickhead.
The funny thing is you won’t say who you wasted your vote on. But I can guess. You are such a faux elitist.
Well it’s end of the week and there is a vodka with my name on it.
My late father wanted to move us to Canada I am Happy my Late Mom Opposed it their heading for the edge of the Bottomless Pit in Canada
They didn’t get a majority, but will probably buy off what’s left of the NDP (they lost official party status) to support their desructive agenda. Woe is us.
When the shit hits the fan in Canada, DO NOT ALLOW ANY REFUGE IN OUR COUNTRY. CLOSE OUR BORDER TO ALL ENEMIES. FORBID IMPORTS FROM COMMIE CANADA. THIS IS A TRAITOR NATION. CARNEY NEEDS NOOSE.
I wouldn’t call it a pyrrhic victory or anything with the word victory. I would say the Canadians defeated themselves to spite Trump, an act worthy of a small people with small ideas.
Here in Canada when it comes to big things on the world stage and between us, Canada, at least liberals and socialists and communists, will do whatever is the opposite of what the USA is doing based on misplaced moral superiority. And it doesn’t even matter if last year we did the exact same thing. Because the USA is doing something we must do the opposite. And then when you add in the advanced TDS infection too many have here already and all you are going to get is this brought to an order of magnitude higher in nonsense factor.
So if the USA decided they are not going to accept any Syrian or Gazan muslim refugees because it is not their problem or proclaim they are all terrorists, Canada would turn around and say we’ll take them all, even though it will ruin the country. It’s the cut off your nose to spite your face problem.
was this an honest election?
Canada cuts off its own nose to spite its own face. Take that Donald. Third world here Canada comes.
Let’s get a few facts straight: The vote was not to “spite” Trump; Trump himself said he preferred Carney to win; and conservatives did not stay home. In fact, The conservative party had an even higher vote percentage than the polls predicted last fall.
We Canadians felt that Carney would be a more seasoned person to negotiate with president Trump and will be respected more by him; a point which president Trump indicated as such too. Carney is also not a show off, and Trump will like his approach a lot better. We decided he might be able to get a better deal for us with Trump.
And we gave him a minority government, so that as soon as negotiations with the US was done, he can be replaced.
This had nothing to do with TDS or anything.
Canada has now changed economic partners. It is selling its oil to China instead of the US.
1. 65% of Americans live PAYCHECK to PAYCHECK, 2 out of 3. That is poverty. In 2018 TRUMP imposed economic sanctions and secondary economic sanctions on SYRIA and VENEZUELA
that destroyed their economies and threw the majority of their people into EXTREME poverty.Pure evil by Trump.Against ordinary citizens.
2. Today due to a 145% tarif on 70% of imports from China we have this:
a product that before via Amazon cost $30 now costs $75. That doesn’t include transportation. The $45 extra is NOT paid by China,it is paid by the American BUYER.
What is a TARIF,it is an import what? An import TAX.
Trump has INCREASED the taxes paid by the 65% that live paycheck to paycheck,they will go into EXTREME poverty.
3. In 2 to 3 weeks there will be SCARCITY of products:
when something is scarce the PRICE goes up sky-high. The 65% in poverty will go into extreme poverty.
4. The SMART ones are STOCKING up for 6 months or more: food,clothes,medicines,water.They are called preppers. Of course they are not the 65% that live paycheck to paycheck,they are middle class.
A few are even going to sell future scarce products ( food,medicine,etc) for a GREAT profit
in what will appear,as it happened in Venezuela and Syria, the BLACK MARKET.
Regarding the belief Trump is to be believed,here are the facts:
1. SOUTH KOREA and JAPAN were both Third World after WW II.
Both created NATIONAL companies that in time equaled the best the US and Europe had to offer.
From what we know, if they ever did,it was minimal,they did NOT STEAL technological secrets. But that is Trump’s accusation against China,they stole our technology. Why doesn’t he say the same against Japan and South Korea?
I believe some technology was stolen but I believe most was brilliant Chinese people REDISCOVERED it,in the same way it was done by who? The Koreans and Japanese.
And by the Chinese of elsewhere.Like SINGAPORE.
They have NATIONAL companies that compete with the best in the US.They did not steal technology.
2. APPLE company produces most of its products in China,and 50% of its sales are CELLPHONES. Trump wants to get Apple back into the US. But can it be done and can Apple survive?
Apple doesn’t think so.It has decided to LEAVE China.To go to the US to make cellphones? No,it will go to INDIA, production and labor costs there are cheaper.
And when I say others like Asians,the Japanese,Koreans and Chinese can invent and make scientific discoveries INDEPENDENTLY, 100% on their own,
with NO stealing of technology,
it is a scientific fact.In science it is called:
MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT DISCOVERY ( at the Same Time or a Few Years apart)
A study by Ogburn and Thomas in 1922 produced a list of
148 major inventions and discoveries
that were made independently by TWO or MORE groups at the SAME TIME or very close in time,like
the independent formulation of calculus by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the discovery of oxygen by various scientists, and the theory of the evolution of species.
This has been confirmed with the same situation after 1922.
When NOBEL laureates are announced annually,
in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, and economics,
increasingly, in the given field, rather than just a single laureate, there are TWO or THREE who often have INDEPENDENTLY made the SAME discovery.
Enter the SODIUM ion battery for CARS. The sodium ion battery has existed since 1807.But the Chinese have invented a version for cars that is now REPLACING
their LITHIUM ion car battery. It is a revolution.
1. It is far CHEAPER to produce Thus cheaper price for the car.
2. It is SAFER,lithium is a great pollutant
3. Sodium is abundant,it is the FOURTH most abundant element,lithium is number 33. Sodium is easy to obtain using electrolysis.
Lithium is found in very low concentrations. Lithium is widely distributed in rocks, soils, and natural waters. It is geologically rare because it is unstable atomically.
4.It is as efficient as the lithium ion battery,the same quality.
Is Trump now going to say the Chinese stole the new technology from the US?
Trump claims he has made deals with 200 countries after the beginning of the tarif war. Is that true?
Very recently the magazine ROLLING STONES interviewed people INSIDE the Trump administration. Those are insiders. What is a privilege of being an insider?
You have access to INSIDER information,that means reports,reliable feedback from trusted personal sources,information not released to the public. They told Rolling Stones they are
PANIC buying: buying loads of food,medicines,supplies.
They also told Rolling Stones they taking OUT their CASH from their banks and hoarding it at home.
That is even worse.What do they know in advance? They didn’t say.
Obviously that soon banks will cut off access to bank accounts or that banks will CRASH,go bankrupt or both.
Asked why they were doing that,one source said,”It would be STUPID not to.”
If Trump really really has made deals with 200 countries,then why the panic buying?
You have to understand how our electoral process works. The Maritimes normally vote mostly liberal because the Liberals prop them up economically. Quebec leads the Rest Of Canada around by the nose by threatening to separate and destroy the country. The liberals basically give them anything they want in order to shut them up and use their votes. This election Quebec voted for them because they knew the Conservatives under Pierre, would likely not be as compliant. The BQ, an actual Separatist party, got the rest.
Ontario is the centre of government and they are not going to vote against their own paycheques. They believe the MSM garbage, specially the CBC they listen to…and Pierre said he would cut the $ 2 billion a year they get in handouts. Once you tally these votes, nobody cares how everybody else votes, as there are enough votes that the Rest Of Canada’s votes are irrelevant at this point.
The Liberals flooded Canada with millions of immigrants who are totally beholding to the government that floods them with taxpayer dollars and doesn’t require them to assimilate into our society. They mostly go into the bigger cities where the Liberals hold power. The Liberals re-engineered Pierre’s riding so that a former strong Liberal voting base, plus a flood of these new immigrants, were now a part of it. There were also 93….that’s correct…912 candidates suddenly running for office there. Just a co-incidence I’m sure. Link here. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/04/30/longest-ballot-group-declares-victory-in-poilievres-former-riding-amid-criticism/
To summarize,….Ontario and Quebec decide who wins the election, supported by the Maritimes. The Rest Of Canada doesn’t get a say and doesn’t matter, and are treated accordingly. The Liberals will continue to deliberately destroy our economy in the manner that Carney has told us all in his book. Hitler told the Germans what he would do in Mein Kamph and nobody listened then either. I doubt the country will ever fully recover.
This is a false analysis.
Blaming it on immigrants is nonsense. The main immigrant centres of Ontario is the 905-belt around Toronto and southern part of Vancouver proper; both went solid conservative. Downtown Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver are white progressives who vote NDP and this time turned Liberal.
In Maritime also the conservatives increased their seats comparing to the last election. Newfoundland and New Branswick had seats flipped to conservatives.
At the end it was Quebec and Trump. The separatist BQ party lost 15 seats to Liberals, because Quebecers realized they get a sweet deal in Canada comparing to being the 51st State. Socialist NDP collapse gave Liberals another 20 seats, and together that propelled Liberals to victory.
Also, look at the age break down . Boomers voted to drain the system dry and leave the debt for the next generation.
Sorry….91 candidates….not 912.
I was immediately reminded of a South Park episode from 2017 where Mr. Garrison becomes president and decides to bomb Canada. (And BTW, that episode also foretold Donald Trump running for president.)
It was hilarious to watch all the socialists abandon the NDP and vote for Carney the Banker.. In cockney slang, Central Banker means Wanker. You have to remember the propaganda and market saturation of the state controlled CBC. They were founded to promote Canadian culture, but worked to have other media excluded from events. At the Leaders debate, CBC had the question period cancelled , because some alternate media had gone to court to get access. Similar to how the American media hid Biden’s decline.
Poilevre tanked after he tried to match Carney in dissing Trump. He might have done much better by advocating policies that bridged the trade gap with Canada’s neighbor to the South.
I like your opinion and I wish it were right but in the context of the feverish TDS fanned by all media (except Rebel media) affecting mainly the low-information voter and the baby boomers, doing so would have been suicide. In a sane world, I think Poilievre would have played that card but he knew he didn’t have a choice as he was totally taken by surprise.
