Trump Inserts Himself Into Canada's Election and Liberals Can't Stop Saying Merci

At sundown, the night before Monday’s federal election, Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal candidate Mark Carney paid his respects to the 11 killed in East Vancouver the night before, when a mentally ill man drove his SUV through a crowd of Filipino-Canadians celebrating Lapu-Lapu Day.

He stood with his wife and British Columbia Premier David Eby as the mourners sang ‘Amazing Grace.’ There was sorrow, but no one started blaming immigrants or some ‘other’ for the incomprehensible mayhem. A continent away, Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre said a prayer for the lost. All political parties toned down their rhetoric. There was no online culture war. No one disappeared into the judicial system.

Twelve hours later, Donald Trump chimed in.

“Good luck to the Great people of Canada. Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America. No more artificially drawn line from many years ago … It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!”
