At some point we are going to have to make a new trade agreement with the United States. I can easily envision a scenario where Trump puts pressure on our new Prime Minister to match current American values in order to secure that agreement. I believe Mr. Poilievre will very easily cave in to Trump's demands in order to secure a trade deal, whether those demands be economic or social. Mr. Poilievre has already shown support to the anti-science/anti-vaccination crowd and has supported Danielle Smith's implementation of policies that put members of the LGBTQ community at risk. Mr. Carney, on the other hand, has said and done all the right things in terms of dealing with Trump. So, yes, this probably is the most important Canadian election ever.
