Democrats should heed Canada's win against Trump

Most remarkable about the recent Canadian election is that patriotism rather than raw economic interest propelled voters to resist Donald Trump. Canadians rejected the MAGA-fied Conservative Party, despite an economy suffering from anemic growth and high housing costs, all pinned on Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party.

Trump’s devastating tariff war would have sent a submissive electorate toward appeasement. The opposite happened. The Liberals, headed by Mark Carney, overcame a recent 20-point-plus deficit in the polls to score a narrow win.

He may be a sober banker, but Carney knows how to deliver some fire and brimstone to Canadians traumatized by Trump’s lunatic attacks on their friendly nation. “President Trump is trying to break us so he can own us,” he said. “That will never happen.”

For Canadians, it’s not the money. It’s the country.

2. I doubt it.

Every in-bred, tarpaper-shack-dwelling, right-wing moron is convinced he's going to be rich someday. If they had to sell out their country in order for it to happen, they would do it. No better evidence for that exists than the fact that they sold out to Trump in return for the nothing he is giving them.
