2 w. ago Trump’s chaotic threats won Mark Carney the Canadian election – but only just | Colin Horgan

This was a vote against delusions of a ‘51st state’ and economic warfare, rather than an endorsement of the Liberals’ policiesYesterday, as Canadians went to the polls, US president Donald Trump suggested that if Canada became part of America, they could vote for him instead.

His threats against Canada, both economic and existential, were the backdrop of this campaign. An unexpected crisis on our doorstep.And now, the Liberal party, led by Mark Carney, has won a fourth term in office, a result that would have seemed unthinkable just a few months ago, before Trump’s unprecedented intervention.Colin Horgan is a Toronto-based writer and a former speechwriter for Justin Trudeau Continue reading...

So many of his flood-the-zone actions have been head-spinning and stomach-turning. His administration seems to be powered by ignorance and incoherence, spleen and sycophancy. Both he and his right-hand man, Elon Musk, with their resentment-fueled desire to disrupt everything, seem intent on pulverizing the foundations of our government, our democracy, our alliances as well as any notions of truth. Tragically, Trump’s second term is already more lawless and more authoritarian than any in US history.The worst and most dangerous part of Trump’s agenda is his war against our democracy and constitution – defying judges’ orders, deporting people without due process, suggesting he will run for a third term, calling to impeach judges...
