    Blows my mind that nearly 30% of Canada voted to hand the country over to Trump, which is what electing Polliverre would have achieved. Both are taking marching orders from the Kremlin.

      I wouldn’t celebrate this victory too hard as this looks a lot like the 2020 US election and we all know things turned out the following election. I don’t follow Canadian politics too closely but they seem to share a lot of the same issues with the US, so the Liberals better use the Democrats as an outline of what not to do if they want to retain any sort of power and influence in the future.

      ~30% of the people seem to be the mark for “will actively vote for fascism to destroy the country because of my prejudice and hatreds.”

      It was 32% for us in the US.

      It was 33% for Hitler and the Nazis in ‘32.

        Didn’t AFD get 20% in Germany’s last election?

        Do not make the mistake of thinking that trump can only happen in America.

          No sane person who has been paying attention to global politics would make that mistake. I’ve been watching Canada’s elections with a lot of wary interest. It looks like they’ll be ok. For now.

        21% in germany, the country that swore “never again” and the party is now nearing 30% as well in polls.

        They would’ve won if it wasnt for a huge turnout that hadnt happened in a long time, and I think part of it was because of USA as well.
