The irony that the guy still has Canada First signs up, a direct nod to MAGA, as has been all of his playbook since the Free Dumb Convoy.
Not only a direct nod to MAGA, but a slogan used in printed materials by the "Proud Boys" (another Canadian export that no one wanted)
Like every pro-Trump Canadian votes heavily conservative, which adds up, so they have to balance not getting primaried against being remotely viable in the actual election.
It will be interesting to see where this goes if they lose. Best case scenario, a new more anti-American conservatism arises. Worst case scenario they double down without collapsing and then eventually win a government by sheer force of FPTP.
