Percentage of Canadians whose vote was impacted by their negative feelings towards Trump? Certainly not zero. Don't say Trump doesn't have coattails...he very well have delivered that victory yesterday.

Trump was a factor well before the 51st state stuff. I said it years ago, months ago, weeks ago..... if a Canadian Conservative Party wants to run Canada... they need to do everything in their power to avoid comparisons to the populist tactics that Trump uses daily. They did not. They lost.

Exactly. Additionally, Poilievre is an elitist who acts like he's holier than thou. Good on Bruce Fanjoy to unseat him in his Carleton riding. We haven't had any door visits from a provincial or federal candidate in eight years and we live 30 minutes from downtown Toronto. Part of Fanjoy's success story is that he apparently spent significant time the past two years going door-to-door asking for people's support. That's all it took.
