Did Trump even endorse him? I feel a little pity for him since he lost the election because if something out of his control.
i honestly don't remember trump personally endorsing poilievre, he might or might not have done that. but i remember plenty of maga people (shapiro, musk, o'leary, alex jones) regularly endorsing him. and since maga = trump, i bet they didn't act on their own
i disagree, i think that the trump effect wasn't completely out of his control. trump was heavily against trudeau and liberals in general, conservatives had a healthy lead in the polls, it was all set up for poilievre to win the elections. but carney (and trudeau) acted instantly to trump's insanity and built their campaign on the anti trump idea, while conservatives campaigned mostly with tax cuts (??? not 100% sure) at first, and when they reacted, it was already too late
at least that was my impression. i didn't follow the campaigns too closely, checked the canadian polls months ago, then i was surprised to see that carney had a ~80-20% lead a few weeks ago
anyway good for carney, canada and the world. carney comes across as one of the most intelligent leaders nowadays, and he's obviously more than qualified for any similar job. unless trump goes full full retard and uses military force against them, canada is likely to become a great partner for the eu.
