Trump's Potential Return to Power Raises Concerns in U.S. and Canada
Canadian Liberals' Strategy to Paint Rival as 'MAGA North' Fails as Conservatives Lead in Polls
- Concerns about Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House include warnings of a possible slip into dictatorship.
- The Liberal Party and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who are down in the polls, are trying to paint their main rival, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, as a MAGA North incarnation of Trump.
- Efforts to tie Poilievre to Trump appear to be failing, as the Conservatives are comfortably ahead in the polls by double digits.
- An October poll found that Canadians believe Poilievre would better manage Trump than Trudeau.
- If Trump wins the 2024 election, Trudeau may face Trump’s wrath, especially after being used as a punching bag ahead of the Canadian election.
