We are now officially a week away from the snap election in Canada, which will decide a brand new Parliament and whether a new prime minister will be elected to lead "O Canada." This all officially occurs on Monday, April 28th, and believe it or not, one of the main issues being discussed during the lead up to this vote is... the relationship with the United States and its current leader, Donald J Trump.

I read a lil about that right HERE:

 It’s time for closing arguments in Canada’s snap election — a five-week campaign dominated by a single leader: Donald Trump.

With advance polls opening Friday at the start of a holiday weekend in Canada, Liberal Leader Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre are each out to convince undecided Canadians that they have the chops to take on the U.S. president.

During the final campaign debate in Montreal on Thursday night, both leaders made the case that it’s time for Canada to flex its strength.

“We are facing the biggest crisis of our lifetimes. Donald Trump is trying to fundamentally change the world economy,” Carney said. “What he’s trying to do to Canada — he’s trying to break us, so the U.S. can own us.”

I will fully admit that sometimes, it is hard to figure out what Donald Trump is saying and truly doing, when he shoots from the hip with the press. Of course, being that he does multiple press conferences a day, that is a lot of ground to cover, then wade through what is being meant--and when he says things just for effect.

Being I live in Michigan, right across the lake or the river from Canada, and have already written why Canada becoming part of the United States is a bad idea, I can confidently say Canada has nothing to worry about. 

We like you, but we don't want you to be part of our country all that badly either. Our Canadian cousins are a bit too leftist for our tastes.

OPINION: The US Absorbing Canada Is a Bad Idea for Future Elections, So Let's Drop It

So, I went ahead and just took a look at some of the past elections that formed Parliament the past couple cycles to see what, if any, trends there were. 

The Liberal Party, or the party of now-former Canadian Prime Minister and Castro wannabe Justin Trudeau, won the majority vote in 2015 by 54 percent, the 2019 election by 46 percent, and the 2021 vote by 47 percent. In the 2015 vote, Trudeau and his cronies passed the threshold to form a government just of their party members, but in the 2019 and 2021 contests, they needed a little help to form a government. 

Shame that the 2021 election was before Trudeau and his schmucks got rolling over truckers in Canada in 2022, which I wrote about here: Two Weeks Into the Trucker Protest in Canada, They Show Fighting for Freedom Is Sexy Again. Possibly, they would have thrown his behind out then.

Yet, back to Eric and Gary's point, that if we absorbed Canada into the United States, that would change the electoral college process. So, if you now made tens of millions of people--who mostly vote for the closest equivalent to Democrats in the United States--citizens, how much harder is it for anybody with an "R" after his or her name to get to 271 electoral votes to win the White House? Then there's the problem of dividing Congress up in the House of Representatives and/or making provinces into states with two senators.

You can just imagine the Democrats jumping for joy at the prospect of this. How would that make America great again?

Donald Trump just won the popular vote for Republicans running for president for the first time since 2004, and also the Electoral College; there's no sense in adding more liberals into the country, to throw it back to the Democrats for the rest of eternity.

Right?

The Conservative opposition leader, Pierre Marcel Poilievre, will face off against Liberal Party leader Mark Carney; both will have to decide how to handle the tariff situation with the United States, and to strengthen the bond between the countries that have historically been friendly since the end of the War of 1812.

There are much bigger issues that both Canada and the United States need to face in the world right now, other than the current verbal tit-for-tat between the two countries. 

Namely, the rise of China becoming both an economic and military threat on the world stage, and also the end of the Russian war in Ukraine. Whoever wins, I'm almost certain, will make a trek down to Washington, D.C., and meet with Donald Trump to begin that process.

So good luck, Canada, on your election on Monday, and I'm sure you will have a warm reception with your good friends in the United States, sometime after the votes are counted and a new government is formed.

Unless, of course, an American hockey team wins the Stanley Cup.
