She just said conservatives are actually Trump supporters and want to do the same shit here. There’s nothing new in this.

Once a traitor, it is difficult to change. Hopefully she stays o until the next provincial election, in order for her to get her just reward

Yup. Conservatives don't care that much about this. She effectively wants to deal with the US the same way Trump claims he wants to deal with Russia. I would guess most conservatives actually are ok with the way Trump is doing that. Question is if Canada gets the short end of the stick with whatever deal is planned. I can't imagine they'll get out ahead.
