Election time in Canada.

Pierre Poulievier is clearly a believer in managerialism/multiculturalism.

He is no Trump.

The difference between him and the ruling party of Canada -the Liberals - is he wants to end the race based preferences and agrues for smaller government, lower taxes and measure of fiscal prudence. He is Liberal light; he’s a standard issue NeoLiberal globalist , just like Carney.

But there’s a big consequence attached to the conservatives losing: Alberta separating from Canada.

The Carney victory is so very dangerous, Alberta will be incensed. Then the party Québécois will win the 26 provincial election and they will hold their promised referendum. They will point to the rest of Canada and the mass immigration we have recklessly pursued. The argument will be it’s now or never, and just look around, lots of brown faces walking around Montreal and Quebec city, these people don’t speak French and they won’t become part of our society. It’s an easy salespitch and Paul StPierre Plomomdon is a good salesman.

A Quebec referendum will gin up hostilities in Alberta and Orange Man Bad will continue taking pot shots from the sidelines.

A Carney victory is dangerous, the western elites are on edge, a Quebec referendum will incite them and Trump will gloat. I say Canada as a country is a 50-50 proposition going forward.

I'd cheekily say you're too optimistic--Canada ceased to be a country long ago, and is now best understood as multiple special economic zones wherein Ottawa, Washington, Beijing, and New Delhi compete for benefits.

Someone somewhere on Substack said the Canada is really just the global commons now, so that is consistent with your take.

I decided we’re better off with Carney than PP. So I have changed my tune.

Carney is uniquely at liberty, he can do things that the outsider pp couldn’t. He, the Liberals, are the power that can ride heard over the bureaucracy. He’s also so much more intelligent than the little self promoting cosplay anti-Trump holier than thou glamour boy Trudeau. I bet he knows that if he misplays it he will suffer the ignominy of being the last Canadian Prime Minister.

History beckons. He can be the guy that placates the west, and yes carbon production is the key which of course seems a stretch considering his environmentalist record. Think Nixon to China.

It’s all there for him. I wonder if he thinks that way.? I’m betting he does. Honestly, he’s a smart guy. He’s not trading on his dad’s name . He’s also reputed to be quite fearsome, with a temper. We will know in short order..
