I'm kinda having a hard time figuring out what the play is.
If you're Maga your king just told you Pierre is a idiot and to vote for Carney.
If you're not Maga you see Trump saying something stupid(i.e. anytime he opens his mouth) you just turn off the video.
There's enough worry about Canadian sovereignty and enough people who aren't maple MAGA idiots/grifters but don't immediately ignore what Trump says that, if they don't think about precedent that much, this could swing.
I don't really know or care what Trump's intent was, even while I have some guesses, but I do know it's being used as a talking point in the Conservative propaganda machine. "Lol, you think Carney's going to defend our interests, but Trump just endorsed him. Hope you like being the 51st state. If carney wins, Canada loses. WEF, Ghislaine photo, Axe the Tax, etc." The gambit is that all of this convinces more undecideds to vote Conservative than Conservative voters to vote Liberal (or NDP, or Green, or Bloq, but you get my point).
You and I, and I hope enough others, see through this particular tactic. But coupled with points like "Carney said he'd get rid of the carbon tax and GST on homes - those were PPs ideas", there's enough going on that I could see people getting swung. No one is truly immune to propaganda, and the machine do be churning.
I hope he loses America needs resistance not a sycophant.
Let’s avoid being the next Georgia!
That's just trump trying to swing the vote toward pp. It's so obvious I think/hope the only people stupid enough to fall for it are the ones who already vote conservative.
Would they be duped into voting Libs in the hopes that Pizza the hutt will own the libs?
Good point, hadn't thought of that lol.
CANADA DOESN'T NEED A SMALL pp
He's the biggest pp I've ever seen
I'm going to miss Charlie so much — especially this current "I'm retiring and will say whatever I want" iteration.
He's retiring? God dammit. I would desparately love to see him as NDP leader. I think this version of Charlie would kill it.
