i keep seeing articles about canada's boycott of US products, and it kind of baffles me that none of these journalists seem to get that our visceral reaction has NOT been about the tariffs

I am holding each and every one of you by the shoulders and making intense eye contact as i say that it's because of the annexation threats.

If there were an allegorical meme of Canada vs the Trumpets and MAGAts its this here.

I wouldn't want to FAFO with a Canadian, they're awful nice and scary as fuck.

David Doel is a Canadian videographer who has previously dabbled in left of center politics up north. He has a well regarded YouTube channel called The Rational National. In the episode above, he describes the astonishing turnaround in Canadian politics over the past few months. Actually, astonishing is one of the milder words which could be used.

Just three months ago Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) was sinking in the polls. The LPC in some polls was below 20% – even sometimes losing second place to the New Democratic Party (NDP). The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) was in the mid to upper 40s – putting them on track to form a majority government after the next federal election. CPC leader Pierre Poilievre was probably picking out new curtains for the prime minister's office.

Then along comes Donald Trump. His tariffs, bellicose statements, and threats to the sovereignty of Canada sent shockwaves through Canadian politics. Pierre Poilievre, who has been seen as Trump friendly or soft on Trump, saw his party's popularity sink. And when Justin Trudeau announced his resignation, Poilievre was deprived of his political scapegoat. When Trudeau was replaced by Mark Carney as Liberal leader, the Liberals got a bounce which made Poilievre's situation even worse.

This is from the latest poll by Angus Reid, an established and respected pollster. The colors are somewhat different in Canadian politics than in the US. See the key at the bottom.

So on Christmas Eve, the Liberals were at a miserable 16% while the Conservatives were coasting at 45%. NOW the Liberals are 5 points ahead of the slumping Conservatives.

Canada does not have proportional representation. Its system largely mirrors that of the UK. So let's look at a province by province seat projection for the next parliament from 338Canada.

So instead of sinking in quicksand, the Liberals may be on track to form a majority government – an improvement over their current status. And there's still some room for improvement over their projected 177 seats.

If you were ever tempted to take an interest in Canadian politics, there has probably never been a better time to start than now.

Parliament returns next week. The most likely dates for an election are April 28th or May 5th. Anything short of a Conservative win would likely be interpreted as a slap in the orange face to Trump.

EDIT: A couple of very recent news stories from the CBC which illustrate the attitudes of the two main parties.

Carney signals he's in no rush to speak with Trump after visit to U.K., France

Conservatives won't allow reporters to travel with Poilievre during upcoming election

Prime Minister Carney just got back from a trip to Europe where he met with the leaders of Britain and France. But he's not in a hurry to see Trump. Meanwhile, the Conservatives are barring the media from their campaign planes and buses; like Trump they shun transparency.

Hundreds of people clad in red and white and hoisting Canadian flags descended on Parliament Hill Sunday to voice their frustration with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Sunday's "Elbows Up, Canada!" rally was held in the midst of Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs on Canadian goods and his talk of annexation — including his repeated description of Canada as the "51st state."

🥳 Good job Canada! Congrats on not electing the fascist who wants us to be annexed by the orange idiot down south!

Now please god i'm hoping poilievre loses carleton it would be the cherry on fucking top.

[cooking-with-hailstones]

I swear to God if Carney and the Liberals pull this off this will be the comeback of the fucking MILLENNIUM like y'all LOOK at this polling data

This is the vote protection over the last year. LOOK how comfy a lead the Conservatives have had, for a fucking YEAR.

And then Trudeau resigns and Trump starts talking about annexing Canada and BOY HOWDY suddenly Pierre Poilievre's Trump Lite rhetoric isn't quiiiiite so popular??? Wild.

Like this is fucking BONKERS. Going from a "slam dunk home run guaranteed win" to a "holy fuck you're headed for a straight up crash and burn catastrophe"

I cannot overstate how WILD this is. I'm like actually losing my mind.

[I'm not even sure what to say in the alt text. If you use alt text I suggest going to the website and navigating all the graphs there, but I'll just say the images above are all graphs of the 338 Canada vote projection, odds of election outcome, and odds of winning the most seats. The Tories have had a comfortable lead for over a year now, until literally the last like 3 weeks when the Liberals are fucking BACK baby]
