Agent Orange has been dumping on Canada for months insulting and threatening the Canadians at every turn. Trump's tariffs are not only a disaster for the United States but the entire world particularly Canada as a major trade partner.

Though the election wasn't in the bag until the vote count, the winds had definitely shifted for Carney and the liberal party. As for Poilievre? I understand he lost his seat in Parliament.

Canada's victory is victory for pro-democracy people worldwide.

Elbows Up!
