It's good to be in Canada on Canada Day. And it's impossible to think of a better time to be out of our own country. The Fête du Canada celebrations will make it easy to forget that Benedict Donald is spending today cutting the ribbon at his new Alligator Auschwitz. Disgusting, cruel, un-American, and unforgivable.
But oddly, there's one thing we can thank Trump for: The Liberals are still in power in the True North. And doing quite well.
Just months ago, Tory leader and Trump clone Pierre Poilievre was trying to figure out how he could be Prime Minister and still stay in the Opposition Leader's official residence, Stornoway (24 Sussex is in desperate need of renovations). After 10 years of Justin Trudeau it was clear that Canadians were ready for a change. To PP's dismay, however, the definition of "change," well, changed.
Benedict Donald's trade war, threats and insults infuriated Canadians and soured them on the Trumpy Tory. Now, Prime Minister Mark Carney is doing the rest since winning the election on April 28. He's taken a leading role on the world stage as American prestige has gone shaky. At home, his "nation-building" bill to fast-track projects that will bolster a new, non-US-dependent economy passed through Parliament in a fast three weeks, and he leads PP in net favorability by 70 points.
So, merci, Donald. Whenever we get anxious about what's happening in the United States, we remind ourselves that there's a very bright spot just to our north. (Although we'll pass on the bagged milk and the butter tarts, thanks.) Happy Canada Day, all! We cats PURR.
