It worth revisiting the first couple of pages of this thread to compare what is going on now to the starting point. Mental indeed.

The only Europeans who would support this kind of rhetoric, however hyperbolic one may consider it to be, are the far right. Reform, AfD, FN, the handful of mooks in Ireland, Orban, Geert Wilders, Meloni, etc. The offensive to pull Europe into MAGA is on.

Here's the thing, if Canada ever did become the 51st state, it would have a tonne of elcetion votes at election time, and since Canada is quite liberal, they'd probably go to the Democrats.

Canada is nowhere near as liberal as it use to be thanks to 9 years under dictator Trudeau. The next Canadian government will be conservative with Poilievre as PM. Still not great as he has WEF connections but anything is better than Castro Jnr.

It'll be interesting to see what impact MAGA in full swing will have on sentiment in Canada between now and the next election, end of this year?

Elections are suppose to be in October which I think may stay the same as they are doing what they did here when Leo stepped down by having someone take his place. Will be my first time voting over there so I will have to figure out how to do that from overseas.

Didnt know you were over in Canada. My brother is there until June. Are they really into their pronoun business and all that stuff? The only time i hear about it is on the world of social media and not in the real world.

Did something in particular happen in July/August 2024? Looks like that was when the Conservative party started to gain and the Liberals hemorrhage support.

I'm not in Canada anymore I came back to Ireland in August 2020 with the intentions of going to Australia which I am still trying to get sorted  :laugh:.

When I was there it was really bad for PC stuff and was my first time being out in public places where you had to watch what you said. My mate who I always stay with when I go back over has been there since 2014 and he updates me regularly on what's going on I was just talking to him on Monday.

His close mate over there who's originally from Dundalk is married to a Canadian girl who's really PC and the lads are always saying offensive shit and giving out about pronouns in front of her when they are over in the house trying to wind her up :laugh: It's more a case that a lot of Canadians are very naive they don't question things and if something is on the MSM then it must be true.

He told me over the last few months that a lot of people are now openly supporting Trump and speaking out against stuff that is going on where he is which certainly wasn't the case when I lived there. My last job I wouldn't even go into the canteen because all people did at lunch time was bitch and moan non stop about Trump while they had someone like Trudeau in charge.

You were living there, you've been back in Ireland four and a half years, you want to move to Australia, but you're hoping to vote in their next general election?

I am thinking about going to Australia, home 4 and half years and it still hasn't happened yet plus I already got a visa for there that I couldn't use due to the covid shite so now I have to go down a much longer and more expensive route to get there it's not a simple as just applying for the basic visa as you can't do that twice. 

I never planned on living in Ireland again it just turned out that way due to covid fucking up my visa. Canada is also now back on the table with the Chairman gone. I have Canadian citizenship so why wouldn't I vote in the election.

If you plan on moving back to Canada come what may, fair enough. If you plan on moving back only if Canada shifts in a direction you deem opportune for you personally, well... what would you say about a Syrian with Irish citizenship who moved back to Syria but continued to vote in Irish elections saying to himself that he'd return to Ireland if and only if his remote electoral contribution helped shift things to, say, a leftist coalition Dáil?

If you mean a Syrian who did what I did in Canada. Applied for a visa, moved here legally, showed a passport in Dublin airport, supported themselves and didn't live off the local tax payers, contributed by paying taxes then jumped through every hoop put in front of them to get both PR and Citizenship then I wouldn't have anything to say to them as they earned the right to vote.

If you want to limit it to those who arrived legally and then obtained employment as rapidly as was legally possible for them, no problem. Good to know anyway. If only more of the anti-immigration Irish crowd were as open-minded as you are!

I have never once said I was anti-immigration so no idea where you pulled that from. If you stepped outside your echo chamber once in a while you would know that the majority of people have no issue with legal immigrants. Plenty of legal immigrants showed up to protests around the country over the last few years are they also part of the anti-immigration crowd because they don't agree with you?
