69% Informative

When Donald Trump was first elected US President in 2016 , the share of Canadians expressing “confidence” in him polled at just 22 percent .

But the tide shifted in the run-up to last year ’s Presidential election: A survey indicated that while a majority of Canadians still held negative views of Trump , the Republican candidate was more popular than Kamala Harris among Canadian Conservative voters.

Trudeau announced his resignation in early January , and then prorogued (which is to say, suspended) Parliament until March .

Much of the country’s media establishment, which until just a few weeks ago had resigned itself to a Conservative win in the coming election, has gone in hard for this sudden patriotic mania.

No one in modern Canadian history has done more to smear Canada ’s reputation or degrade its sense of national pride.

Trump might find support among Trudeau 's hard-core progressive base if he rebranded his tariffs as part of BDS -style sanctions aimed at punishing Canada for its many (supposed) crimes against humanity.

All of this feels like an exercise in victim blaming.
