    Previously branded as the Canadian version of Trump, he has now shifted from his “Broken Canada” messaging to a new slogan: “Canada First.”

    Imagine trying to distance yourself from the idea that you are like Trump by recycling his “America First” slogan. What a fucking idiot.

    This is strange narrow framing. Trump is terrible for the US, Canada, their allies, and every other country. Poilivere using the same rhetoric as fascists is not a gift to any Canadian.
