Canadians tend to watch a lot of television from the USA. As the country lost its connections to the British it became more easily influenced by the Americans. For now I think a majority are still relatively sane, but there's probably a solid 20% who are hoping that our next president will be Donald Trump.
I don't think 20% of the populace hope DJT is our next president, but I sure as hell believe 20% of people looking to elect Poilievre hope he mimics his policies when he becomes PM.
Look at the recent poll that tested Canadian opinions of Trump. Nearly half of conservatives had a positive opinion and thought he'd be good for Canada. This puts the number at 15-20% of Canadians.
It will never cease to amaze me that anyone supports that clown. Even if you agree with his politics, he's such an absolute garbage fire in everything he does I can't imagine anyone electing him over a competent option.
It's like electing the village clown because you like his stance on abortion.
Not very often I see someone characterizing the British as the good guys.
