Maple MAGA: The Desperate Bid to Elect a Mini-Me Trump
Conservatives play the traitor card
"What can Americans and Donald Trump do in these next three weeks before your election to make sure that interim Prime Minister doesn't hold another term?" - Laura Loomer podcast
Laura Loomer, meet Preston Manning.
Or do you two already know each other? Perhaps you're part of some SIGNAL chat group trying to coordinate the breakup of Canada and the election of Pierre Poilievre.
If not, I'm sure you'll get along famously.
Loomer has been all over international media since it was revealed that she may have been behind the decision of Donald Trump to can General Timothy Haugh and the key heads of the National Security Agency.
How this racist conspiracy podcaster could have such power over Trump speaks to the chaotic idiocy of the Mar-a-Lago presidency.
Watching Trump go after his supposed enemies is like 1937 Stalin without the firing squads. All paranoia. All show trial. All the time. Loomer plays her part perfectly.
But Loomer is also very concerned about the Canadian election.
The Maple MAGA candidate Pierre Poilievre is slipping in the polls. On a recent podcast, she fretted about the steps Donald Trump needed to take to ensure that Prime Minister Mark Carney does not win the election.
This would represent a serious threat to the integrity of our democracy.
The MAGA Strategy Comes North
A similar scheme was expressed to the Trump administration by another former conspiracy media host – Danielle Smith, the current premier of Alberta. The difference between the two women is that Loomer has a lot of sway over Trump.
And now, Preston Manning, the Godfather of Canadian far-right politics, has stepped up to help.
Last week, he penned an op-ed in which he speculated that the country would break up if Canadians dared to vote for Mark Carney.
"Voters, particularly in central and Atlantic Canada, need to recognize that a vote for the Carney Liberals is a vote for Western secession— a vote for the breakup of Canada as we know it." - Preston Manning
Vote for Poilievre or lose your country.
Having to resort to blackmail in the midst of a federal election sends a very troubling message. And it speaks volumes about the state of Canada's Conservative moment.
Canada is facing the biggest threat to our sovereignty in our history. Trump claims we don't have a right to exist as a nation. He is looking for weaknesses and internal divisions. If we start fighting amongst ourselves, Trump's plan to reduce Canada to a vassal territory, a 51st state, could be realized.
Manning knows this. And yet, there he was saying to his fellow Canadians - vote MAGA Maple or else.
The optics stink.
Canadians are coming together in an unprecedented way to defend our nation; the Maple MAGA crowd are looking to leverage this crisis even if it means breaking the country apart.
The Traitor Card
In the United States, citizens take an oath to protect their country from the threat of enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Canadians have always been more chill. We never thought we had to worry about such things. But here we are facing the clear choice between Vimy or Vichy.
I know where I stand. And I know where the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan stand as well. There is no group of people in the country more solid when push comes to shove.
That's why I can't wait to head west for a huge Resistance Rally in Edmonton.
Preston Manning and Danielle Smith are straw warriors. They claim to speak for an army of prairie separatists that simply does not exist in the numbers they would need to damage our nation’s future. But they are willing to undermine Canada during an unparalleled crisis.
This leads to the second problem with their strategy.
Every time the MAGA Morons shoot their mouth off, it sinks their candidate Pierre Poilievre even further. He keeps getting thrown off his message of attacking Carney by having to say he actually does believe in Canada.
It's not a good look.
People just don't trust Pierre to stand up for our country.
I mean, how can you vote for a guy who refuses to pass a national security clearance? A guy who has boasted that “Canada is broken”? A guy supported by people who say they will breakup our nation if he doesn't get in?
As I reported in a previous Substack, Premier Danielle Smith has been relentlessly undermining Canada's unity.
I am not concerned about her.
But I am deeply concerned about the alliance between the dark manipulators who drove the MAGA machine working overtime to influence the vote in Canada to bring in Mr. Evil's mini twin – Pierre Poilievre.
Get set for a tidal wave of disinformation, folks. But don't be thrown off.
We are better than the likes of Loomer, Manning and Smith.
Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.
Dear Canada, Let what we’re going through be a cautionary tale for your country.
In solidarity, An American fighting to save democracy 💙
