Trump Versus Canada: Chris Black’s Appraisal

Source:Thuppahis

A Recent Thuppahi Request, April 2025

HAI FRIENDS,  As a total outsider with limited info I have a question: DID TRUMP’s recent remarks about Canada becoming USA’s 51st state have a bearing on the Canadian elections? IF your answer is in the affirmative, then speculate as to whether THAT was the Trump goal… a kind of Machiavellian one?

A RESPONSE From Chris Black in  Canada**

Yes, of course, it did. Canadians are very angry about the American
insults and threats to attack us. The Troy party here, who they supported, is a right wing party close in ideology to the US parties (both right wing from our perspective) and was seen as agents of the US. Trump made it clear he supported Poilievre, the Tory leader. Poilievre hobnobbed with Trump — gave the impression he supports Trump. He is regarded by most here as a mini-Trump.

Plus his party voted against the free dental care the liberal and NDP gave us voted against pharmacare, want to privatise the natinal health system, lower taxes for the rich, get rid of environmental controls, want to screw the working class, screw the First Nations, etc etc etc.

There has been a big US driven campaign on youtube and social media
attacking the liberals and supporting what they call “freedom” — claiming we are all oppressed by the present government, and voting for them will make them all rich -and sadly many working class people fell for these lies. But go on youtube and you will find hundreds of videos — all made in the USA.
The truckers strike  — so-called a year or two ago — was part of this: an
attempted coup, partly backed by the US.

And NO — this was not some sort of reverse psychology — Trump and the Americans wanted their boy to win — not Carney.

A NOTE from Michael Roberts: 
My fading memory in old age led me to brand CHRIS as “American”. He is in fact a Canadian.
