In the approaching votes in the U. S. and Canada, among four options, two cases in certain provide themselves with startling clearness.
The sanking ship of state in the west and the sinking boat of position in the northern may begin to redress themselves if Donald Trump and Pierre Poilievre in Canada won their separate campaigns. Restoring growth, safe borders, judicial reform, and renewed political impact for both places, one as a Constitutional Republic and the other as a Parliamentary Confederation, may result from a close and mutually beneficial relationship between Republicans and conservatives.  ,

At the same time, while pursuing broadly similar goals and a restarting of violently patriotic objectives, both men are special individuals, clearly distinct from one another. Trump is a mix of rhetoric and eloquence, Poilievre a king of playful retort. ( The Economist describes Poilievre as a “brainy brawler”. ) They are” the similar” only in the sense that they are both strong people who are clearly their own unique personalities who are eager to use their diverse political systems and dissimilar corporations to benefit both of their citizens in general.  ,
There will undoubtedly be some tussle over tariffs and trade, but each chief is clearly working to improve conditions for his or her individual citizens. Champions of small government, operational deregulation, lower taxes, unhindered entrepreneurs, energy independence, and certified freedoms, they seek social and political order within the large confines of free-market competition and a young Judeo-Christian tradition. Both candidates merit victory in the polls. The outcome of this election is undoubtedly the best one.
However, both ship and canoe will start to vanish under the waves if Kamala Harris wins the White House and Justin Trudeau are elected prime minister. The policies they put in place will be practically indistinguishable, both seeking intimate relations with Islamic organizations, undermining Israeli security, opening their borders wider than ever to unstanchable and illegal immigration, embedding so-called abortion rights, entrenching revolving door convictions, supporting the Ukraine war, spending and printing money in unlimited quantities, and impoverishing their citizens under the burden of levies, debt, and inflation. By the end of the century, both countries will be hardly distinguishable from one another.

Character-wise, Trudeau and Harris are mediocrities, often comically halting and , unintelligible in formulating policy positions or addressing the press, reeking of insincerity, vapid and mercurial, fiscally illiterate, and incapable of excelling or rising into political prominence without the help of nepotistic influences— in one case a family name, in another a powerful backer. They are fungible apparatchiks. Neither could “make it” on their own. They have no regard for society’s welfare. As a way to gratify their own despotic supremacy, they seek disorder and the destruction of accepted tradition. Marxists by temperament, they are perfectly interchangeable ciphers.
The upshot is that neither merits victory at the polls though, clearly, a double triumph would be an electoral disaster. One is a masculine woman and the other is a masculine man, but both are weak people with a desire for collective solutions to political issues and a hankering for autocratic rule to make up for their febrile personalities. If Justin Harris becomes the next president of the United States and Kamala Trudeau becomes Canada’s next prime minister, would you bet against both nations?
