[OT] Canadian election called for April 28

Our brand new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has called a federal election for April 28, just 5 weeks away.
Canadians have been hungering for an election for the last couple of years since they finally got sick of Trudeau. We had very much hoped to replace Trudeau and his Liberals with Pierre Poilievre and his Conservatives. The polls practically guaranteed it.
Then Trump came along with his tariffs and his talk about us becoming the 51st state and the whole political calculus got turned upside down. Instead of being about turfing out the "progressive/woke" Liberals, our election is going to be about Trump and what he threatens to do to our economy. Somehow, a significant proportion of the electorate seems to think the horrible Liberal Party is once again credible even though it really just put some lipstick on the pig by replacing Trudeau with an even woker Mark Carney and doing a cabinet shuffle.
I truly fear for this country if the Liberals win another mandate. There was still a chance of resurrecting this country along sensible lines if the Conservatives won but if Carney wins, we are going to be an economic basket case. He's a fanatic believer in Net Zero and will de-industrialize the country in the name of that goal.
