The United States' relationship with Canada is something of an anomaly in world history. It's very unusual for two nations to be at peace while sharing a completely demilitarized, 3,000-mile border for over 200 years. Canadians fought alongside Americans in both world wars, and in the pre-9/11 world, one could even drive into Canada with no more ID than your driver's license - no passport required.

But that may be changing, as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is worried about the influence of "right-wing MAGA politics" on Canadian voters.

"I've actually boasted . . . that it's not a political debate in Canada, all parties in Canada stand with Ukraine," Trudeau said at a press conference Friday. "So it is particularly troubling to see — even though we are seeing a rise of right-wing rhetoric in the United States with MAGA conservatives, across Europe, in certain corners of right-wing politicians and parties — starting to pull their support for Ukraine. Starting to parrot Russian disinformation and misinformation and propaganda."

From those statements, it's clear that Justin Trudeau would be right at home on The View, but in the Canadian Parliament, he's facing a serious challenge in the form of Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre. My colleague Sister Toldjah brought us the news of an absolutely priceless take-down by Poilievere of a Canadian activist posing as a journalist; this is a guy who is going places, and in the video included you can see him stomping the brakes on the activist's claim that he has "taken a page from the Trump playbook." Later, Sister Todjah brought us another great piece in which Poilievre takes down a journalist questioning him over a statement about the Rainbow Bridge crash.

This is a guy whose career we should watch with great interest. Which brings up the obvious question: Is Pierre Poilievre among the people Justin Trudeau is talking about? Because, apparently, Canadian Muslims are also being influenced by "right-wing rhetoric" from "MAGA conservatives:"

It's not the first time Trudeau has blamed American politics for pushback to liberal policies in Canada.

In July, Trudeau said the "American right-wing" was responsible for causing Canadian Muslims' to oppose gender ideology and LGBTQ curriculum in K-12 education.

Trudeau made the comments during a visit with the Muslim community at the Baitun Nur Mosque in Calgary after hundreds of protesters rallied against gender ideology in schools, chanting, "Leave our kids alone."

The frustration reached a boiling point after audio surfaced of an Edmonton Public Schools teacher berating Muslim students for skipping school in order to avoid Pride events.

I'm going to offer a personal opinion here, namely, that I find it unlikely in the extreme that Canadian Muslims are sympathetic to "right-wing MAGA conservatism." Trudeau, true to form as always, implied that the Muslim families in question were being deceived by American media:

One person in the audience asked Trudeau to "please protect our culture, our belief, the sin that you are doing to them."

Trudeau responded: "First of all, there is an awful lot of misinformation and disinformation out there [from] people on social media, particularly fueled by the American right-wing are spreading a lot of untruths about what is actually… in the curriculum."

Trudeau's response is the purest of corral litter, suitable only for enriching lawns; Canadian Muslims are almost certainly not being unduly influenced by "American right-wing" media. I suspect they know very well what their children are being taught in the schools, and as Muslims they tend to be very traditional in things such as gender roles, they probably don't need any influence from the American media to be upset. Justin Trudeau is floundering; he clearly is watching Pierre Poilievre gaining on him, and like many leftists, he is blaming everyone but himself for his failures. Perhaps Trudaeu should concern himself more with Canada's super-pig problem.

Just in case any readers are unfamiliar with the United States' northern neighbor, I did uncover an interesting piece on the geography and political organization of Canada:
