     @lain Two reasons: one, the personal unpopularity of Justin Trudeau was apparently greater than I thought, so removing him actually did boost the Liberals (I hadn't expected it to), and two, Donald Trump's tariff campaign against Canada has soured Canadians on conservatives in general, despite significant differences between the Conservative Party of Canada and whatever Trump is.

     I think the Cons could still win if they focused on culture issues, but now that's hard and not being attempted.

     @lain Trump's strategy of beating them but with love hasn't worked so far, and the ones paying the price are the trump-like canadians.

     the whole trump thing is so fucking weird, it feels like a psyop. the party that has claimed canadian identity doesn't exist and has always put the rest of the world first ahead of any of canada's problems is now seen as the party that's the last bastion of preserving canadian identity and sovereignty, meanwhile the party that has traditionally opposed these kinds of things is somehow seen as traitors to the country just because "conservative = trump supporter" somehow.

     @Alex @lain It's hardly a stretch, considering the large number of people in Canada who really were Trump supporters before this. But they aren't, now. And they won't be coming back.

     Some day there'll be an anime about these events, made with the usual deep insight and factual accuracy of anime history, and it'll qualify for "top 10 anime betrayals" right out of the gate.
