Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Oh, poor Pierre. He has been endorsed by every MAGA right-wing voice that supports Donald Trump. But what Donald Trump is realizing is that getting an endorsement from him is political death in Canada.
Pierre Poilievre is MAGA.
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.
