Snap Election Pits Canada Against Trump

Prime Minister Mark Carney called a snap election on Sunday, saying he needs a mandate from Canadians to take on U.S. President Donald Trump. "President Trump claims that Canada isn't a real country. He wants to break us so America can own us. We will not let that happen," Carney said outside of Rideau Hall in Ottawa.

"My whole life I've been greedy, greedy, greedy. I've grabbed all the money I could get. I'm so greedy. But now I want to be greedy for the United States. I want to grab all that money. I'm going to be greedy for the United States."

That's Trump's pitch. It's not that he's a nice guy who cares about you. It's that he's a nasty, greedy guy who shares your enemies."

And.... since he's making friends with evil authoritarian empires like Russia and NK who know evil when it sucks up to them, he needs other Enemies to war against.

Like Canada and Mexico and Europe.

He was, is now and always will be greedy for himself and nobody else and, as everyone knows, he ia a pathological liar. His actions and words about Canada make me embarrassed to be an American. He is intentionally insulting our closest allies for no good reason except to please his owner/mentor Putin who is laughing as Donald Trump destroys our allinces all over the world! Which country is next? my bet: Australia. He is making this country significantly weaker because Putin wants us weaker and weak minded Republicans are helping him do it!

1 day ago " The former banker may not have been elected to office before, but is now seeking a mandate from Canadians.

He's seeking to consolidate his power, sort of similar to what zski did right away- dissolve the legislature.
Of course zski took the precaution of outlawing the opposition parties before calling his new and only planned forever elections.

Even if the carny didn't outlaw any opposition like zski, his side had advance notice compared to everybody else.
