General Discussion

MAGA wants Poilievre to become prime minister. We had that anti-lockdown occupation of Ottawa a few years ago if you recall, and Poilievre was hanging out with the ringleaders. I’ve heard other conservative MPs parrot culture war rhetoric. The Canadian Conservative Party has a MAGA friendly wing that tried to declare MAGA policies are mainstream after the US election. They keep trying to overthrow Trudeau’s government with no confidence votes even though most Canadians don’t want an early election.

Due to high inflation and general anti-incumbent sentiment Trudeau’s popularity is tanking and the conservatives are taking full advantage. Trudeau was mocked for flying to Mar-A-Lago, with Poilievre declaring he would’ve stood up to Trump (which I’m sure is a lie, based on his record). I fear what might happen in the next election. The only thing that gives me hope is that we have a year to see how destructive Trump policies are before we vote again (which is probably why they keep trying to force an early election).
