"I can't believe anyone would vote for Trump," says smug Canadian man planning to vote for Poilievre (thebeaverton.com)

OTTAWA – A smug man from Canada wasted no time this morning chastising Americans for re-electing terrifying liar and felon Donald Trump, despite the fact that he plans to vote for terrifying liar and asshole Pierre Poilievre in the next Canadian election.

Matt Hunter, a 36-year-old barista, took time away from attending a Poilievre rally to rant about how stupid Americans were for falling for Trump’s fascist bullshit.

“I just can’t believe that someone could look at a petty asshole running on slogans, lies, and faux outrage and think, ‘Yeah, this guy will be good for the country,’” Hunter laughed, taking a quick second to repost an “Axe the Tax, Build the Homes, Fix the Budget, Stop the Crime” tweet on X. “It makes no sense. Luckily we up here in Canada have more common sense. Pierre says so.”

“When Poilievre becomes Prime Minister next year, he’s gonna stand up to Trump. They’re so different in ways that I can’t even describe. Don’t even ask me what those ways are. Just trust me, bro. He’ll bring Canada home again.”

Again, white French Quebecois and Anglo Quebecois are two distinct ethnic groups and they're ethnically distinct from most French or Anglo Quebecois that immigrated here more recently (those that don't consider their ethnicity to be French or British in origin).

You would realize that if you understood the definition of ethnicity, I'll invite you to Google that.

And yes I'm downvoting you because you're arguing in bad faith by bringing up sources that don't apply and that contradict you.

Don't know why it's so hard to accept that Quebec isn't the most homogenous province, but I bet you're from Ontario or Alberta so you just have a bad opinion of Quebec and don't know anything about the other provinces.

Being the most homogenous population of any significance is neither bad nor good. If you felt that was an insult maybe you should consider why. Homogeneity due to isolationism is bad because of isolationism, which is strongly linked to the idea of regional parties at the national level. Thanks for your help in displaying the flaws in those ideologies as demonstrated by your taking offense when facts you apparently don't like are displayed in the open.

I take offense in people using lies and bad information as arguments against my points, that's all.

How many provinces have four main parties and a fifth one that gets over 10% of the votes? Talk about homogeneity!

Have a good life now!
