Poilievre very consciously mimics Trump in slogans, style, etc. Just look at this picture and tell me it doesn't remind you of something: [0].

The question is whether Canadians want to elect someone who models himself after Trump at a time when Trump is threatening to end Canada's existence as a sovereign nation.

It's Poilievre in front of Canadian flags... Every leader of every country stands in front of their country's flag...

I guess it would be jarring to Canadians, who have a current leader who called us a post-national state and said immigrants are more Canadian than people born in Canada...

Literally the status quo for most of the history of democracy: putting your own country first...

The fact any Canadian thinks it's weird or anything like MAGA shows how far Canada has fallen...

It's a specific political slogan borrowed from Trump, who himself got it from 1930s-era isolationists / Nazi sympathizers.
