The problem

Ostensibly, Canada rejected Trumpism. Carney may not quite be able to form a majority government but given how far back the Liberals were before Trudeau stepped down, this is a massive victory. 

The conservatives still did well because we have our own share of people who don't want the old values that both the US and Canada used to espouse as ideals to return. Our country is divided too although not to the extent of our neighbors to the south. 

The recent polls show Trump deeply underwater with the worst approval rating of any president in the first 100 days since polling began in the 1940's. It's only going to get worse as even more devastation is wrought on the American people.

The global malaise we are suffering from is curable but will take decades to fix. We transferred all the wealth to very few people and that isn't going to be easily undone. But if nothing else, the population has woken up to the fact that the problem is more top down than it is left versus right. They realize they have been duped by machinations which saw most of their political power as citizens disappear over the decades. 

The Canada US relationship may never be the same as we must look after our own home after soberly realizing that too much of the US electorate cannot be trusted make informed choices between two imperfect candidates; one being infinitely worse than the other. Much of that lies at the hands of poor education. 

Since it's inception in 2016, the term MAGA has become an international slur synonymous with intolerance, stupidity, anti-intellectualism, racism and bastardization of religion. It doesn't stand for anything as much as standing against something which is how Pollievre ran his campaign. 

And therein was his problem.
