Trump Threats to Annex Canada Help Liberal Party Win Critical Election

[Uncle Joe]

The Liberal Party in Canada had been massively trailing in the polls. Then it pulled off a victory that seemed impossible just two months ago, largely thanks to one man: President Donald Trump, who repeatedly threatened to make Canada the 51st state. After former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned, former central banker Mark Carney took over as Liberal leader and campaigned as someone willing to stand up to the United States, while painting the opposition Conservatives as too close to a hostile Trump administration. “If you’d asked people around Christmas if the Liberal Party had any chance of forming government in the next election, they would have said, 'Absolutely not,'” says Canadian tech writer and critic Paris Marx, who notes that Carney has quickly moved to weaken some of his party’s more progressive policies and cozy up to tech executives. “So, even though we have a Liberal Party coming to power over a Conservative Party, that doesn’t mean there aren’t things to still be worried about, as we see the way that they might potentially govern.”

1. The conservative party had the election locked up

and then came Krasnov.

Listening to Malcolm Nance today on freespeechtv.org, and he said that countries around the world don't just hate Krasnov, they hate what America has become.

Conservative parties around the world are going to pay the price for what Krasnov is doing to America.

Maybe Putin was wrong. Maybe having America become a dictatorship won't lead to other countries following suit, maybe the opposite will happen?
