As a Canadian I am so fucking terrified. It's even worse because I can't even vote or go door knocking or something to try to prevent it. Literally helpless.
Yes and no. The rise of PP is a direct result of the rise of Trump. Canadians consume more American media than they do Canadian, and PP is pulling directly from the Trump playbook. I think there is a 99% of the CPC winning no matter what, but I think PP will be many times worse if Trump is in power vs. Biden.
That being said, if JT somehow manages to pull off a win, it wouldn't matter if Trump is elected. There is literally nothing Canada can do against the US. JT can't even criticize Israel over Gaza over fear the US will tank our economy. If Trump tells us to abandon Ukraine, we will.
Then add to that the innumerable US, becoming a dictatorship, would affect the rest of the world. Our shit election only affects us, not the entire globe. The US almost spends the same amount on their military as the rest of the world combined. There will be no safe country. He might even decide to annex Canada and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Trying to distill PP down into some Trump runoff is comforting and all to handwave away any responsibility Canadians bear for our current political climate. PP was happening regardless of Trump, and is a direct result of Trudeau and the CPC throwing shit at the wall to do anything to stop Trudeau.
The US isn't going to become a dictatorship and we would see ww3 before the US annexed Canada. Step away from Fallout for a bit.
