"I can't believe anyone would vote for Trump," says smug Canadian man planning to vote for Poilievre (thebeaverton.com)

OTTAWA – A smug man from Canada wasted no time this morning chastising Americans for re-electing terrifying liar and felon Donald Trump, despite the fact that he plans to vote for terrifying liar and asshole Pierre Poilievre in the next Canadian election.

Matt Hunter, a 36-year-old barista, took time away from attending a Poilievre rally to rant about how stupid Americans were for falling for Trump’s fascist bullshit.

“I just can’t believe that someone could look at a petty asshole running on slogans, lies, and faux outrage and think, ‘Yeah, this guy will be good for the country,’” Hunter laughed, taking a quick second to repost an “Axe the Tax, Build the Homes, Fix the Budget, Stop the Crime” tweet on X. “It makes no sense. Luckily we up here in Canada have more common sense. Pierre says so.”

“When Poilievre becomes Prime Minister next year, he’s gonna stand up to Trump. They’re so different in ways that I can’t even describe. Don’t even ask me what those ways are. Just trust me, bro. He’ll bring Canada home again.”

I've learned from previous elections (and possibly too late) that I shouldn't be voting "strategically". If does the same as I do then we'll keep sliding right l,like the US.

Vote for what you believe in and let the party politics follow. Anything is a betrayal to yourself. Don't feel bad for voting for the unlikely candidate - especially if you've already voted for election reform.
