On the eve of Canada's election

What Trump has wrought.

Well, Trump may have inadvertently given it the final shove in that direction, but the weight of Canada’s own leftist population is the main factor that’s been dragging it that way to begin with.
It’s worse than the U.S. “left coast”, such as California, which did shift slightly more red in the last election, but still didn’t escape the grip of its own corrupt communist dictators.

But is the Toronto City News telling the truth, Cogito? Is a survey of opinion a reliable measurement of fact?

I ask because US conservative columnists deny that there has been any change in the volume of border-crossings.

Legal crossings, that is. Of which records can be found, presumably.

I understand that air travel to the US is down significantly. All I can tell you is that there is a level of animosity towards America that I have never witnessed before. Yes, Canada is a left leaning country, but the Conservatives were headed for a decisive victory just a few weeks ago. Now it seems they are doomed. Having said this, I am aware of my dismal record of predicting elections!. I was wrong about the Trump triumph in the US, perhaps I will be wrong here too… We will know on Monday night.

What happened to so many Canadians that they’ve become demonic?

Canadians are angry that, out of the blue, the leader of their best friend, the US, is accusing them of ripping off and stealing from Americans. First, this is utter nonsense. Canadians are simply following the agreements Trump agreed to in his first term. Secondly, wouldn’t you be offended if your best friend suddenly accused you of theft? Canadians resent this intrusion into their election. Trump is seen by most Canadians as a former ally who has metamorphosed into a narcissistic bully.
I regret to say that even my sister and her husband were ardent MAGA enthusiasts until now. We have other friends, heretofore admirers of Trump, who now detest him. Even some of my patients feel the same.
The proper questions, I believe, are why and when did Trump become so demonic in his attitudes to Canadians.
So, Canadians are not demonic, but insulted by Trump’s behaviour in this matter.
I continue to be an exuberant admirer of Trump despite this faux pas. I hope Canadians will come to their senses and throw the Liberal swine out and elect the truly conservative Pollievre (who has been dubbed the maple syrup MAGA
candidate!)

Yes, they ought to be able to see that voting for another leftist because they’re mad at Trump would just be cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Were Trump’s facts and figures all wrong?

Canadians, like so many of my fellow Jews, consistently vote against their best interests. Maddening.

Conrad Black’s thoughts:

Black: “If such stark Liberal cynicism succeeds, Trump is correct that Canada, despite all its good fortune in location, resources and people, is a failed state. In other words, either Canada will give this appalling regime the order of the boot or it will voluntarily complete its journey on the treadmill to national oblivion where the Liberals have put us.”

Yes, “the liberal campaign is a giant fraud” - not just in Canada, but everywhere.
The tragedy is that people keep gullibly falling for it.
This could finally bring justice and the vindication of the Truckers who bravely stood up to Trudeau.
Surely Canadians haven’t forgotten that already?

Liberalism survives because of its appeal to emotion. People who find emotional arguments persuasive are more likely to fall for liberalism. The same is true of religion.

Yes, that explains the various statistics I’ve seen that there are more women in churches, and more women filling the ranks of the “bleeding heart” useful idiots of the left.:roll_eyes: :rofl:

Well, you predicted Carney’s win correctly.
Looks like the Premiere of Alberta, Danielle Smith, is going to stand up to him, though.
Maybe Alberta will become the next U.S. state!

I found Citizen Free Press but not her speech.

Does the article have a headline?

The headline says, "Fantastic clip - ‘Alberta has had enough’ ". It links to a post on X showing the clip.
It’s a bit far down now (sorry I didn’t include it earlier).
