    From my understanding, you have three viable parties. I understand saying “fuck the neoliberals,” but then why not pick the third party that isn’t endorsed by the insane fascist down here?

    I forget which chucklefuck said it, but our administration said your conservative party leader’s values align with Trump’s, and Trump is threatening your entire country’s sovereignty on a near daily basis. If the expansionist “deal maker” who likes to demand mineral rights in exchange for empty promises likes him, I would expect that to be a very good indicator of someone willing to bend the knee and kiss the ring.

      I mean, the election isn’t solely about who trump will bully easier - as much as American may think. There are actual policies people are concerned with and trumps just one of many on a long list.

        I get that, but I also really don’t think it’s a good idea to underestimate the importance of having a leader who strongly pushes back against Trump.

        America is going downhill fast, and the current administration is highly imperial, expansionist, and corrupt. The “51st state” shit isn’t a joke. The government here said “if” they were to take Canada, it would be by economic force instead of military force, and then proceeded to leverage tariffs to create economic pressure on the rest of the continent. They undermine and belittle the Canadian government at almost every opportunity while riling up the conservatives down here by claiming yall are taking advantage of us and being welfare queens who are completely reliant on our handouts and protection. It’s an obvious attempt to tire people out and destroy national sympathy for you guys.

        Trust me, whatever shit you have going on there right now, it’s still a lot better than what’s happening down here. And as bad as we have it, you would get it even worse as a country compromising itself to appease America. By all means, vote for whoever you want, but at least wait until after the US has played its hand and made its intentions to extract wealth and resources from Canadians undeniably clear. Voting in an American-friendly candidate right now is a guarantee to have American corporations come in and destroy your country like they did ours.
