There's always a segment of our population that just arbitrarily applies American problems/culture to Canada and then jumps on board with American hysteria/movements. It's so weird.
I always figured on a deeper level it's because human beings long to fit into groups and be part of tribes/teams so they justify themselves into movements that gain huge traction on TV/social media, which by and large are American. They just want to be for things and against things and more importantly part of the groups that represent fighting for and against things.
If there were legitmate Canadian movements to attach to they'd do it but there isn't so they see a "We're losing our white America" movement headed by Trump and they figure "meh, I'll just go with that, it's my only shot to be part of something".
