Implying sovereignty is an issue at all is implying that one party cares more about it than the other...

This is a popular leftist talking point at the moment but it's far from the truth and as more information about both parties' and leaders' beliefs is disseminated yes, the momentum will die out.

The President of the United States of America has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada. He calls the Prime Minister of Canada the "governor of Canada." He refuses to rule out the use of force or massive economic coercion. He's repeated this over and over again, and when asked if he's serious, he says he is.

This isn't a "leftist talking point." It's the President of the US making open threats, and Canadians are taking those threats seriously.

Yes, I'm aware of all of this.

What you people don't seem to comprehend is that every political party in Canada has the same views on this matter. If every party has the same policy in regards to an issue, it's not an election issue.

By claiming it is you're claiming one party isn't going to defend Canadian sovereignty.

It's very obvious the constituents feel like one party values the issue more than another as the polls are showing??? Not sure what your trying to say here I feel the goalpost keeps moving...
