The Conservative party in Canada as recently as December had a 29 point lead in the polls. This is what has happened since Trump's tariffs pronouncements.
Canadians have rallied around the Liberal government and it's new leader in response to what they perceive as a bully. Canada had the potential to elect a strong leader who would be an effective and strong ally of the United States. That opportunity may now be lost. The leftist Liberals have surged not only back into the race but potentially have enough support to win in a landslide. With a multi-party system, 42% is enough to dominate parliament.
I have been a strong Trump supporter since 2016. I cannot think of any other issue where I would not back him. His approach to Canada is the one area he has been wrong. Unless Trump did not want an ally and was serious about annexation he's made Canadians' lives, already bordering on miserable, far worse. And I don't think he's serious about annexing Canada.
I still back Trump. I simply think his approach here has been horribly wrong.
