Zone1 Did President Trump make Mr. Pierre Poilievre lose the last federal election?

[DennisPTate]

To me it seems obvious that when President Donald J. Trump brought up the topic of USA Tariffs on Canada he set in motion a series of events that made it essentially impossible for Conservative Party Leader Mr. Pierre Poilievre to win Canada's last federal level election.

Of course President Trump's comment about Alberta becoming the Fifty First State was arguably even more so political dynamite that pretty much made it impossible for Mr. Pierre Poilievre to have won Canada's last federal level election.

Before President Trump's comments to P. M. Justin Trudeau, Mr. Pierre Poilievre was all set up to become Prime Minister of Canada but the reaction to President Trump's comments pretty much doomed Poilievre politically in our last election, [but NOT in our next federal level election].

I believe that Mr. Pierre Poilievre did amazingly well to be so quiet and different from the very "Anti- USA" approach that P. M. Mark Carney took in order to become Prime Minister in our last election.

How many Canadian political leaders could get so many hits in an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson?

As of this time in Canadian history, only one, Mr. Pierre Poilievre!

Jordan Peterson sits down with Canadian member of Parliament Pierre Poilievre (and likely the next Prime Minister). They discuss his role as Leader of the Opposition, the untapped energy sector, the real reason Canadians cannot afford homes, how Justin Trudeau has walked the country off a cliff, and what will likely play out in 2025 leading up to the much-needed election.This episode was filmed on December 21st, 2024

My take is a little bit different, but not entirely. When Trump made his JOKE about making Canada (not Alberta) "the Fifty-First State," the whole country of Canada lost its ******* mind.

It did not matter that Trump was joking. It did not matter that the last thing any Republican would want is another state, as big as California, with a liberal majority. None of it mattered. All that mattered was that Carney started talking tough and Poillievre didn't really know what to make of it. Hell, Pete didn't even retain his seat in Parliament!

No matter how much Canadians say that they don't need the U.S., the fact remains that a silly, empty insult directed at your outgoing PM shook the very foundations of Canadian government and changed the course of Canadian history. A joke. It is pathetic.

You are absolutely correct DGS49. A joke by President Trump forced Canada's Liberal Party to fire P. M. Justin Trudeau and bring in an obviously more well spoken and well informed national leader of Canada's Liberal Party.


Those same couple of jokes made winning our last federal election astonishingly difficult for Mr. Pierre Poilievre.

President Trump's joke elicited a hostile response because touched on a long simmering question about whether Canada is a real country or a conglomeration of different regions united only by not being Americans.

This redounded in an election result that has sealed Canada's economic prospects. Pierre Poilievre has many good ideas, but he is trying to assemble a puzzle whose pieces don't fit. How much longer will the Western Provinces put up with the Ottawa-Quebec cabal which feed off them?

This is an exceptionally good analysis of what just happened. May I quote you into other places online in the following format?

Although I voted for Mr. Pierre Poilievre in our last election, [specifically for M. P. Dan Muys], I joined Canada's NDP in May of 2025 because I was interested in at least attempting to mount a campaign to take over Canada' New Democratic Party, [no kidding]!?

Thread 'Ms. Heather McPherson for Prime Minister of Canada?'

Nov 20, 2025

I actually wanted to mount a campaign to lead Canada's New Democratic Party but, once I found out that I joined up two months too late I decided to take a look at the other candidates.

My choice is Ms. Heather McPherson partly due to the fact that she is from Alberta and she should be the one who will know how to prevent Alberta from leaving Canada and joining with the USA?

My beginning this poll puts me in a position where I can write up what would have been my own personal platform, so that Ms. Heather McPherson can criticize me on any point that she wishes, [or she can coopt any part...

It is my belief that the historical rivalry between Canadian Conservative and members of the New Democratic Party must be put aside considering how serious the situation is for Canadians over these next two to three decades?

Mo Gawdat predicts that Artificial Intelligence and robotics will lead to the need for B. M. I., is he correct?

I believe that he is but there are certain aspects of the history of the United States that need to be widely understood before we can get this right.

We must understand that in theory three hundred and fifty million Americans own the USA Dollar itself, [but elected officials have been convinced that they own it due to the influence of a group know as "Neo-Malthusians."
