That's true. 46.1% voted for Trump, only 39.5% voted for Trudeau. That's more an indictment on the US system's lack of real choice though. Almost 40% is really high threshold when there are five parties sitting in parliament. You point still stands, a greater percentage of American voters cast their ballots for Trump, than the percentage of Canadian voters did for Trudeau. When you listen to the post-election reactions in the mainstream media in both countries, you'd think the opposite was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yhat happens when you have 5 parties instead of just 2. It's a math thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 The U.S. has many political parties, and they appeared on state ballots. Minor parties in Canada have the same significance as minor parties in the USA. Donald Trump's party received a higher percentage of cast votes than did Justin Trudea's party.

Too bad he's in power with such a deficit in the popular vote. Maybe you need a little fixin' on your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess when you really only have two to choose from that's how the numbers work. I wonder if Trump will have the kind of support a year in that JT has now. Doubtful.

The facts are that Trump received more voter support than did Justin Trudeau. Sorry....that's just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far easier to have illegals vote in the election, like the Canadian woman in New York. Good thing Trump didn't need New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the power we have. If they want to risk losing their biggest customer then so be it. The Americans can do a lot more harm too Canada than vice-versa. If they shut the borders down for two weeks, Canada would be toast. And what would the snow birds do? Stuck in Canada for the winter or have to fly off to some warm country somewhere. No 4 - 5 months sucking up the sun in Arizona. Their high dollar is already killing Canadians. It is getting to expensive already to go vacation in America anymore. Canadians are screwed.

bush_cheney2004 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Canada's state broadcaster (CBC) picks foreign election as top news story for 2016. Maybe because Donald Trump won instead of the usual suspects.

Every where one wants to go for a holiday, all vacation plans are done in American. The prices for goods in Canada are still way to high even with a low dollar. A higher Canadian dollar is better for Canadians as far as I am concerned unless you are one that does not go to the states or vacations.

It's always the same old same old. Canadians will never be allowed to have a Trump like person in politics. The elite will make sure of that. The Canadian liberal establishment elite do not want to have a Trump in Canadian politics because if that did happen programs and agendas like political correctness, multiculturalism, and refugees could take a hit. That would really work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
