I'm from Vancouver, but live in Scotland. So got to listen to the play by playing collapse of rational thought in real time. By the time my shift started I was having a full blown panic attack....
I'm guessing the Trump insanity will put a damper on Poilievre's campaigning a bit, seeing as they're easy to tie together, but Trudeau is such a dead weight it might not matter.
Loads of LGBTQ2S+ folk in the States are hoping that Canada might be a safe haven until the American army jackboots their way north. My trans sister and her American wife included. I'm very concerned that if little PP gets in that might not be the case. My sister would be able to get in as we're Canadian, but her wife might not be able to.
This is definitely the worst timeline.
At least if PP wins a minority that should limit the damage he can do, since the conservatives have a long tradition of not playing well with other parties.
Even though it's probably the best thing to do in terms of international relations, it feels very weird having Trudeau congratulate Trump.
"We look forward to working with president-elect Trump and his administration, including on issues such as trade, investment, and continental peace and security," - Justin Trudeau
