Political colours in Canada are the same as in A/NZ/UK — red for Left, Blue for Conservative. BQ is the Bloc Québecois which only contests seats in Quebec, ND is New Democratic, an alternative Left party. Greenies fortunately don’t have much support.

As was expected, Canada’s new Leftist PM, Sean Casey (age 61), who replaces Trudeau, has taken advantage of a surge of support for the Liberal (read Leftist) Party after Trump suggested, tongue in cheek, that Canada could become the 51st state of the USA to avoid the tit-for-tat tarrifs. The Canadian snap election announced last Sunday has been given almost the shortest period possible under Canadian law, 36 days.

The idea of Canada and the US joining up is like the suggestion of Australia and NZ becomng one — some support it, but the majority don’t; nationalism is a powerful factor in people’s attitudes and and despite lots of similarites, Canadians see lots of things they don’t like in America: for them it’s vive la différence. In fact I remember once asking a guy in Europe what part of North America he was from as I was unsure of the accent. It was Canada, but the addition was “at least you didn’t accuse me of a being an American.” Wow.

Despite the nationalism and antagonism to the Trump administration when it comes to Canada’s neighbour, Casey is a comitted Globablist supporting all the Globalists’ nefarious plans and was an an advisor to Trudeau.

You may wonder what this matters to us, and it probably doesn’t much. Foreign policy including trade towards NZ wouldn’t change if the Consevatives win. But if Mr Casey’s party is again empowered by voters with its Globalist attitudes of big government to coerce, tax and spend on warmongering with the result of impoverishment, they will spread around the countries of what is still considered the First World and reinforce each other.

What of the Conservative Party of Canada? Its platform consists of most of what you would expect from a typical centre-right party and the fact that the Leftist Legacy media don’t call it ‘far right’ as they do for example the AfD in Germany and the National Rally in France means it’s probably not a threat to the WEF’s New World Order plans. At age 45 the good looking Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre may have appeal to younger voters, but how he and Casey rank as charismatic leaders I know not.
