It seems short sighted because the rest of the west isn’t nearly as bad as the USA. Do they really think the American right wing population is THAT worth pandering to that they’d give up their reputation to everyone else?
Pride in Ottawa, Canada this year was pretty much corporate-less because the organisers publicly came out in support of Palestine and said they’d only accept companies on the right side of history in the parade
Corporations being corporations, most dropped out since they always have to be 100% safe on any statements of support obviously. It was actually so much better without them though.
I wonder if those who believe in TDS would also believe in Trudeau Derangement Syndrome where one feels compelled to put “F🍁CK TRUDEAU” flags on everything. Realistically these people probably know nothing about Canadian politics though
We’ll see how it goes. We’re likely to have an election soon and there’s a chance we could vote in our own version of Trump (Pierre Poilievre). Luckily he’s gone from an unquestionable majority win in polling to a toss up with the Liberals because of people’s association of him with Trump. He’s desperately trying to shake that image but the best he came up with was a new slogan “Canada first” which is hilariously and obviously just a rip off of Trump’s “America first”
In the very depressing chance that PP wins though, I’d expect him to reverse course and let Trump walk all over our country…
Definitely true, but the Liberals are starting to pull from the Cons a little bit from what I’ve seen. His first move being killing the consumer carbon tax killed both of PP’s talking points (carbon tax & Trudeau), while also showing that he’s different than Trudeau. That mixed with the fact that he’s kind of the stereotypical definition of a “fiscally aware” conservative politician where his entire focus is getting the country’s financials all in order above all else; at least if we ignore dealing with the sovereignty threats.
All that to say, I think he’ll more and more start pulling in the moderate conservatives that aren’t completely bought into the Facebook cesspit politics. PP is already very disliked to them so it wouldn’t take much
Totally a free country though
