Does Justin Trudeau secretly want Donald Trump to win?

I lean towards yes. Think about it: The Canadian election won't be held until 2025. While I maintain that the Liberals will win no matter what once people realize just how insane Pierre Poilievre is, this will be put in starker relief when Trump is elected in November in the US. A Trump victory could only help Trudeau in Canada, since he'll be seen as necessary to put a check on Trump on the international stage, much like he was during Trump's first term.

That being said, the Liberals will win anyway, polling just doesn't reflect that yet.

How are you simultaneously so pessimistic about the US and optimistic about Canada? The Liberals are INSANELY unpopular. Biden is more likely to win again than Trudeau, and Canada has its fair share of crazies (and Poilievre doesn't even come close to matching Trump's level of insanity).

Canadians hate the United States, not without reason. They'll do whatever we don't do, because we live rent-free in their heads. Again, they have a right to hate us, everything is so much better up there.
