Stephen Harper told a crowd in Ottawa Tuesday that if he were still prime minister, he would accept “any level of damage” to Canada, rather than see it join the United States as the 51st state.

The former prime minister was speaking before an invitation-only crowd to promote his new book, Flags of Canada, about the history of the Canadian flag. But, given the drama of Donald Trump’s tariff threats against Canada and his now-repeated musings about Canada becoming the 51st state, Harper couldn’t avoid touching on current affairs, according to a report in the Toronto Star….

Well it is not too late to replace Poilievre with Harper. He is still only 65, and has a history of winning elections. Personally, I don't think PP can win the election. He is one of the most repulsive leaders of any political party in recent memory. It should be noted that he is tone deaf, in regards to handling the threats by Trump.
The election was his to lose. All he really had to do, is say "vote for me, and I will build up the military" or something to counter Trump. Instead, all he does is rant on about the carbon tax, or emulate Trump's campaign, which is a sure fire way to lose an election, considering how unpopular Trump is outside of the United States.
