American here. I had a passing thought while reading tariff war news and wanted to inquire. I seem to remember some stories about how there's some percentage of Canadians that are as crazy pilled as our MAGAs, flying confederate flags and such, and I was wondering, what are they up to these days? How are they taking things post Trump election and present tariff fighting? Are they also booing the american anthem at hockey games? Or are they buying Kentucky whiskey in solidarity? I find the idea of those guys so fascinating, but I have so little news sources for them. Anyone have any insight into what the chatter is like in those communities lately?

The one thing folks haven't mentioned so far is that it's put our conservatives into a real comical bind. A significant chunk of their base loves trump, while the rest are now vocally opposed.

What Polievre try to thread that needle is great.

I love the fact that it's so utterly clear exactly why he was so desperate for an election before Trump took office. I chuckle every day at the small man's petulant fury.

It's great until suddenly they thread that needle. I've seen this happen with trump twice now and can't escape the feeling that I'm living in 1930
