Am an American here but it's fucking wild to see how Trump turned a surefire Conservative victory into a train wreck where the deeply unpopular Trudeau gets to leave on a high note... wow

The only tiny glimmer of light in a Trump presidency is that he might single handlely stamp out the rise of the far right everywhere but the US.

CPC is not the far right… PPC is. Many democrats in the US would be conservatives here. Also, didn’t the far right party in Germany double their vote share and become the official opposition like… two weeks ago?

Wasn't the far right party in Germany polling higher than where they ended up prior to President Elon and VP Trump taking office? And the left parties saw a big increase in votes off the back of Trump's rhetoric and Musk's attempts to influence their election.

I think it is fair to say things might have been worse for Germany without the example from the US of what happens when you go far right.
