Canadian Election

Matt Gagnon discusses the recent Canadian election, highlighting the Liberal Party’s projected win of 172 seats, just shy of the required 174. He contrasts this with the Conservatives’ 140 seats and criticizes Donald Trump for his actions that allegedly swayed the election in favor of the Liberals. Gagnon argues that Trump’s “51st state” rhetoric and trade war tactics antagonized Canadians, leading to a significant shift in public sentiment. He believes a Conservative victory was likely before Trump’s interference and criticizes the U.S. President’s approach as unnecessary and counterproductive.
