@realcaseyrollins Pierre's lead tanked when Trump pushed the goofy 51st state talk. He doubled down on that today, election day.

Canadians are different than Americans in this way: a core part of Canadian identity is NOT being American. Canadians are always thinking of the US and are formed to be anti American in their core identity.

Americans have no concept of this. Americans don't even think about Canada.

So Trump stepped in it and cost the conservatives the election.

Or if you think Trump is always playing 4d chess, Trump tipped the scale on purpose to get an oppositional government that's more of the same he was always griping about with Trudeau.
