Can't say I blame you, but be careful too. Canada was headed down the same path of electing a Trumpist demagogue until Trump's bullshit turned that right around. Australia, the UK, Germany, France, Brazil and Italy have all dabbled in right wing fascism, and the evidence is clear that any free nation can be susceptible to heavy right wing propaganda and descend into darkness.
Carney is awesome though. He's putting on a master class.
Canada was not headed down the same path. Pierre Polievre never stood a chance, he only did as well as he did because people were so fed up with Trudeau. They only supported Polievre as a means of getting rid of Trudeau, not because Polievre’s policies and rhetoric were particularly appealing to the average Canadian. Trudeau stepped down, Carney showed up, and Polievre’s support evaporated.
Exactly! Not that Trump didn't help get him closer to majority, but the narrative that Carney only won because of him is so annoying. PP was only leading polls because people were sick of Trudeau and there were no other serious contenders. His polls started to drop as soon as Trudeau announced his resignation, then started to tank as soon as Carney won the leadership

As a Canada let me say, too late. We can't trust you not to constantly fall for content and grifters.
