🇨🇦 Trump goes and a Democrat occupies the White House? Carney still leads, poll says

Carney's Liberal revival survives even a hypothetical Democrat in the White House, polls show. Remove Trump tomorrow and the numbers barely budge: 45-36 Liberal over Conservative becomes 44-36. The Liberals were trailing by over 20 points before the trade war handed Carney a nationalist rebrand he didn't earn. Now experts admit the party has weaponized anti-American sentiment for electoral gain, locking Canadians into a posture that makes any deal with Washington political suicide.

This isn't patriotism. It's manufactured grievance as campaign strategy. Carney rode Trump's tariffs into office and now governs a country too angry to negotiate, too polarized to think clearly, and too captured by Liberal spin to remember they were headed for a landslide loss six months ago. The relationship with our largest trading partner is in ruins, but at least the polls look good.
