Trump has spoken about his own impact on the race, saying he turned what looked like a surefire Conservative win into a close call. Polls showed national support for the Liberals rose as support for the Conservatives fell during this recent period of tension.”
No wonder...
CBC News is a news media source with an AllSides Media Bias Rating™ of Lean Left.
CNN is a likely pair.

If so-called 'conservative' Canadians voted in a leftist regime because of an American President's rhetoric, they weren't conservative to begin with.

But it may have been their 'conservative' candidate's trashing of Trump that did him in:

Anyone who thinks that a candidate in Canada--in generally-safe-for-Liberals Ottawa, no less--lost an election because he trashed Trump isn't playing with a full deck. Gateway Pundit just doesn't get Canadian politics.

While Polievre lost his own seat, and that was a big setback for the Conservative Party, they still gained 24 other seats over 2021. It was the leftist parties that took a blood bath: the New Democrats, Greens, and Bloc Quebecois were decimated and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh also lost his seat (and resigned).

Even the Liberals were stopped short of a majority government. It's quite possible they won't last a year.
 
Yes, it is extremely unlikely that any candidate anywhere in Canada lost any significant number of votes for trashing Trump. Gateway Pundit is a notoriously unreliable news source. If Gateway Pundit said the sky was blue, I wouldn't believe it without stepping outside to check it out first.


  • Overall, we rate The Gateway Pundit Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of conspiracies, and numerous instances of publishing false (fake) news. . . . The Gateway Pundit is also fiercely dedicated to the promotion of Donald Trump.

Exactly!
The reason he ‘trashed Trump’ is because he correctly read the polling.
The liberal guy, practically ran against Trump.

The fact that the Conservatives did so well reinforces the fact that if Trump had simply stayed out of the way Polievre would be forming a government now.
Hope the Liberal coalition doesn’t hold and he gets another chance.

You may be right. It may be Stockholm Syndrome according to this Canadian.

Or, then again, maybe we're just a left-leaning country. the Liberal Party has governed Canada for 94 of our 158 years--roughly 60% of the time, and contiguous Liberal governance tends to be of longer duration than Conservative. Even at ten years, the Justin Trudeau/Carney government hasn't come close to the durations of, say, McKenzie King or Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau. One of the LPC's nicknames is the "natural governing party." There's plenty to explain the Liberal trend without the bad psychoanalysis.

The fact that Canada is a left leaning country, to say the least, makes it all the more remarkable that the conservatives had as much as a 20 point lead in polls after Trudeau resigned. Until Trump began his tariff war and his dumb language about you being our 51st state.

It seems most Canadians thought Carney would be the best choice to stand up to Trump. Meanwhile, Trump wanted Carney to win, because he thinks he is weak and he can handle him better. Which is probably true. But that means a) Canadians fell for the demagoguery, and b) Trump basically interfered with our election for his own advantage.
