    I am still holding hope that Pierre is on the way out, but I do agree that this 34% of Canadians represents a clear and present danger to Canada as a whole.

    The CPC still has not shown any hints they are considering jettisoning the Reform Party wing, or giving up grievance politics and culture war bullshit for old-fashioned fiscal conservatism or even more mainstream social conservatism. I suspect they are just too tightly coupled to oil interests (i.e., corporate welfare queens) to put actual policies forward that could potentially bite the hand that feeds them.

          Not all of Alberta. The cities are not the same as the rural areas.

          Rural areas are mostly Trump-negative at this point too, although there’s a significant minority dumb enough to want America First while not American.

                I have a cousin that recently moved to Calgary from southern Ontario … young guy in his 20s … Indigenous Mohawk but fully passes as an average white guy. From the way he describes the city and most people … no one really cares about politics all that much … if its full on MAGA, racist, homophobic crap, they join in … if its NDP socially minded all inclusive, they’ll join that too … everyone just joins whatever band wagon is taking place and they don’t care where the politics are coming from

                    I’m in QC and no, people hates Trump and most of them don’t go in the USA anymore. Yes there is always some people going there for vacations like Myrtle Beach or Disney, unfortunately, but they are a small minority. For instance last year, end of school, 2 to 3h wait time at the border. This year, 2 or 3 cars only.

                    Yeah, pretty sure the stats support this take – QC has been pretty uniform / pointed in their response.

                    My guess is that it’s partly tied to the realization that “if” that annexation stuff happened, and Canada eventually ‘lost’, there’s no way QC culture / french language stuff would have the same sort of power/clout as part of the USA. Especially with the current government trends, which aren’t exactly welcoming of other cultures.

                    Likely similar sentiments amongst many FN, in that a USA annexed Canada would absolutely give the finger to any and all treaty type things. Canada’s approach to integration may not have been great, but the USA was much more inclined to extermination and is absolutely not as supportive as Canada is on that front. Like the Mohawk weren’t really a “Canadian” band with large traditional territories in Canada – they’re basically from New York, and were displaced by America killing em off, and Canada (or the brits, as Canada wasn’t really much of a thing back then) welcomed them as refugees / gave them some space. Tyendinaga, for example, was founded around 1780, it’s not exactly their ancestral homeland. They’re one of the biggest groups at this point, even though they started off in Canada as refugees. If groups like Idle No More started blocking ‘public’ roads/rail to impede projects in an annexed Canada, they’d absolutely get sent to alligator Auschwitz for re-education, and the band involved would get labelled as a terrorist group.

                      I was also surprised that it was that high, but then I remembered the exchange rate.

                          Some percentage of that is likely profiting under the arrangement.

                                  Having them slanted to the right is a big part of the problem.
