Regardless of what the Orange Tyrant is doing, remember that you do have friends in other places who are also hoping that things start to calm the fuck down at some point.

We are Allies despite Trump's overtures of tariffs and manifest destiny type garbage.

We Canadians need to do everything in our power not to elect PP. I'm holding my breathe on this one

Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.

Our PM has far less relative power than the POTUS does thankfully.

Right now the main thing is you don't want an early election, you want to give as much time before the next election as possible for people to be reminded what a conservative government is like by seeing the shitshow that is the Trump admin.

There's a reason why Poilievre has been pushing for a new election ASAP. Right now he'd win a pretty handy majority, in a few months time though? Trump could ruin that for him and the Conservatives.

Honestly I'm okay with a minority conservative government with the other parties keeping them in check, but there are a lot of Canadians falling for the same ploy as the Americans.

Again, our government system is designed slightly better to ensure that a single person can't just push through everything.

I'm pro minority government. But if PP gets a minority. He will goad the other parties to a non confidence vote which will cause them to get a majority if he didn't the first time.

Hey since you're a canadian can you clarify something for me? In the wake of Trump writing an executive order against our 14th amendment, which specifically is birthright citizenship, does canada have birthright citizenship? I looked it up and it seems like you guys do, but I saw one source that made me doubt it. Basically, if you are in the US, legally, illegally, as long as you aren't a foreign diplomat, your child is automatically a US citizen upon birth on US soil with only a few exceptions(such as being born to a foreign diplomat on US soil).

A few weeks ago during an interview Trump said we were the only country with birthright citizenship and most infuriatingly I see people repeating this lie. At a minimum most of North and South America have it.

Canada does indeed have birthright citizenship.

What's funny is all the axe-the-tax t-shirts PP wears, & Scheer robotically vocally shills.
Meanwhile both Carney & Freeland are set to axe the tax on consumers.

His entire not-Trudreau policy is even more laughable.

Canada does have birthright citizenship - basically to the same level of the US, which excludes the children of diplomats - but citizenship laws can be changed in parliament with a majority, its not protected by the Constitution.
