I can’t speak for the Aussies, but I don’t think many outside of Canada understand how against the grain our election was.

We suck at elections. We have a brutal habit of voting out, not in. We flip flop in a way you could bet the farm on. Before the tariffs and threats, it was near-impossible that the Liberals weren’t out.

Our Liberal win was predictable since Trump, sure, but that it was even close is a massive change in Canadian voting. Not just “Trump effect”, but a whole lot of nose-plugging in the voter bloc.

Edit: So why is “Great” Britain being such a Trump cuck? I think he told them he can brick all the weapons.

Wanna get together and build weapons?

It was a huge surprise here in Australia. Polling was expecting a hung parliament with neither side having a compelling victory.

Looking at the centre-right guy's campaigning over the last few weeks he really thought he was going to win on the back of Trump-style culture-war bullshit.

Yesterday Australia decimated them in a very clear rejection of Trumpism.
