Three quarters of Canadians dislike President Donald Trump — and Conservatives appear likely to pay a painful price for it in the country’s Monday election, according to a POLITICO/Focaldata poll of Canadian voters.
About two in five voters (39 percent) told Focaldata, a U.K. pollster, that Trump was a top concern in the election, second only to cost of living (60 percent).
Since Trump’s return to the White House — and Justin Trudeau’s exit as Canada’s prime minister — the Conservative Party led by populist Pierre Poilievre has watched a 25-point polling lead disintegrate in front of its eyes. Conservatives now trail in most surveys, including the POLITICO/Focaldata poll.

In a Time magazine interview published Friday, Trump again reiterated his desire to annex Canada: “The only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

(310,524 posts)The name “Canada” likely comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement”. In 1535, two Aboriginal youths told French explorer Jacques Cartier about the route to kanata; they were actually referring to the village of Stadacona, the site of the present-day City of Québec. The name Canada is now generally accepted as originating from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata.

(93 posts)His supporters think he’s a genius, but there is absolutely no strategy whatsoever. It’s all bluster and ego.
Trudeau was historically unpopular and Trump could have had another conservative partner to do his bidding in the continent. Poilievre was basically MAGA lite and it would have been easy to mostly rollover him (though I’m sure giving up national sovereignty would be a step too far for Canadian conservatives).
Trump’s supporters in oil and gas and mining on both sides of the border are probably especially pissed since they have been frustrated by Trudeau’s environmental policies.
Unsurprisingly, this is mostly blowing up in his and his supporters faces. Oh well
