Canada needs to seriously plan for the possibility that the US will not be a liberal democracy anymore. This is not fear-mongering, but a real prospect. A Trump victory in November would be a generational game changer for our security, stability, and prosperity. https://twitter.com/BrynnTannehill/status/1299305312256757761
And, just to stay on the gloomy side, even if Biden wins, Canada (and the rest of the world) will have to live with the reality that at least 40% of Americans support, and will no doubt continue to support, his Trumpist agenda. That shit is not going to just disappear.
A couple things.
- if you equate Trudeau with Trump, you are blinded by partisanship and are part of the problem. Absolutely fair to be critical of Trudeau, but they are not on the same planet in terms of venality, corruption.
-same if you equate Canada's conservatives with Trump
As @dgardner pointed out, the dangers for Canada associated with a Trump victory are an important driver (but not the only one) of Canada's deteriorating security environment. As a country (government + society), we are not ready to deal with this reality https://twitter.com/thomasjuneau/status/1269784425048522752
