"I can't believe anyone would vote for Trump," says smug Canadian man planning to vote for Poilievre (thebeaverton.com)

OTTAWA – A smug man from Canada wasted no time this morning chastising Americans for re-electing terrifying liar and felon Donald Trump, despite the fact that he plans to vote for terrifying liar and asshole Pierre Poilievre in the next Canadian election.

Matt Hunter, a 36-year-old barista, took time away from attending a Poilievre rally to rant about how stupid Americans were for falling for Trump’s fascist bullshit.

“I just can’t believe that someone could look at a petty asshole running on slogans, lies, and faux outrage and think, ‘Yeah, this guy will be good for the country,’” Hunter laughed, taking a quick second to repost an “Axe the Tax, Build the Homes, Fix the Budget, Stop the Crime” tweet on X. “It makes no sense. Luckily we up here in Canada have more common sense. Pierre says so.”

“When Poilievre becomes Prime Minister next year, he’s gonna stand up to Trump. They’re so different in ways that I can’t even describe. Don’t even ask me what those ways are. Just trust me, bro. He’ll bring Canada home again.”

I normally vote NDP even though where I live is usually a Liberal stronghold, but this time I'm tempted to vote Bloc.

If there was a Bloc rep in my Ontario riding I would be carefully considering them vs my own NDP rep.

It's surprising that no other province or group of provinces ever created their own version of the Bloc...

I doubt we could do much worse if we just elected 11 different provincial/territorial lobby groups that have to caucus together to pass laws.

That's my opinion as well, or even grouped lobbies (BC, prairies, Ontario, Quebec, Maritimes + NFLD, territories)
