Perhaps a year or two ago, but I would disagree with that today.
The difference now is that Trump is so disliked/hated in Canada and these silly nicknames are quite similar, they will definitely turn off some swing/independent voters who see the two as comparable. Would his stupid nicknames poll well with his supporters? Sure, I can see that. Would they go over well with undecided voters right now? I would say not a chance, not like they might have a year or so ago. Most people in this country don't want anything to do with Trump, even if it's a similar campaign style.
