If the conservatives are elected next in Canada, are they going to make the Continent Great Again collectively with Trump?

@BittersweetPotato I've voted in every single election. Yes like Jenny says, you just need a picture ID with your address. They check that against their records when you arrive and you vote. Where you live, you belong to a "riding" or area that elects a MP (Member of Parliament) to represent you area. What ever party elects the majority of MPs, wins the election.

@chrisCA Did you guy see all the responses to Trump! All three leaders had beautiful comebacks to Trumps threat to take over Canada

@Elessar It's an important point, already implied by your argument.
Governments are underfunding healthcare as costs rise, so the public are understandably pissed off. Then, our leaders say: "Look, our healthcare system isn't working so we need to privatise some more of it." Then the 'efficiency savings' don't arise and they tell people even more of it needs to be privatised.
And so on...

@Burnley123 That's exactly what's happening here as well. But after talking with the average person a bit, I'm 100% convinced we'll all have American style "healthcare" by the time I'll retire, and people will be mad at the communists that ceased existing as a viable option on the ballot over 30 years ago, while still voting for the rightwing lol

Probably not. The reason Ukrainian Fascists are fighting against Russia is because, while they agree with Putin's politics, they're still nationalist. They want Ukraine to stand on it's own.
This is actually one of the reasons Fascism always burns itself out. Fascism is both nationalist and imperialist, which makes it hard for them to have alliances with each other.

They will probably be involved in a tariff war.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

When you and everyone else finds out who the Federal Liberals have up their sleeve as a replacement for Trudeau, the next Federal Election will be a landslide majority win for the Liberals, which means the conservatives will end up holding their own Leadership reviews with major changes to follow!
What you are going to find happening is Canada distancing itself from the USA both politically and economically, which means if the Continent becomes any greater than it already is, it will be as Canada decides how that greatness will unfold, not the USA. You have to remember that it is the USA who's dependent for it's survival on Canada, not Canada dependent on the USA.
The USA imports 75% of it's crude oil from Canada and imports 90% of it electrical power from Canada as well. The USA being $36 Trillion in National Debt is not in financial position to be telling Canada what "great" will look like.

@swirlie Well I don't know if the Liberals have any chance on winning an election; don't the polls have the conservatives in a double digit lead?

@JimboSaturn
Very true, but a couple of things.... those polls are based on what the current political climate is, not what the future Liberal climate will be.
Secondly, who makes these polls anyway? Have you ever been polled? I haven't and I get out a lot!

Actually Trudeau and Freeland did have the balls and matched tariffs with the US. Trump was very happy when Freeland resigned saying "she was toxic, no one will miss her".
A lot of the tension between Trudeau and Trump is precisely because Canada didn't bend over.
The conservatives are going to fold to Trump big time.

What you've said here Jimbo is totally accurate and very well stated.

American here. I'm not too familiar with Conservative Party of Canada, or their leader MP Pierre Poilievre. I do remember PM Steven Harper, and MP Pierre Poilievre was very high up in that government. PM Harper was center right and not a MAGA idiot. So, no, by association, I don't think MP Pierre Poilievre becoming PM of Canada is a MAGA victory.

@tenente
The traditional Conservative Party of Canada is very similar to the old Republican Party of America, meaning they were both center-right leaning.
MAGA which is not the Republican Party of America, is led by Donald J. Trump and company, which is an extreme-right conservative party that not at all represents the values of America's old traditional Republican Party. This is to say that in practice, the Republican Party of America no longer exists.
In Canada, MP Pierre Poilievre (whom we call 'Peter Polygrip), is Canada's answer to hard-right conservatism, bordering on extreme-right which is a mentally that was born and contrived in the Canadian west, Alberta Canada specifically, where all the rednecks and downtrodden live who just love DJT.
PM Harper was as you say, a center-right conservative, however Peter Polygrip is a MCGA idiot in comparison. For Polygrip to become PM of Canada would actually not be tolerated by the current mood right now in Canada, because Canadians are sick of having to deal with the likes of Trump every time they turn on their TV's to watch the Canadian news.

@beermeplease Did you not realize that Canadian conservatives meet your definition of "liberal"??
Canadian conservatives support universal health care, access to abortion, and carbon reduction to reduce global warming. Just like European conservatives🤣😂
