How the U.S. Lost the Canadian Election
Briefly

Donald Trump's last-minute intervention in Canadian politics on election day pushed the Conservative Party further down, despite their previous lead. His blatant disregard for Canadian sentiment, which is largely unfavorable towards him, emphasizes his penchant for self-promotion. Meanwhile, the ruling Liberal Party, once predicted to lose, held onto power amidst widespread criticisms of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's administration, notably his handling of economic policies and immigration. Critics argue that Trudeau’s reliance on increased immigration, without addressing housing issues, has not fostered the necessary economic productivity improvements for Canada.
As Trump gleefully confided in an interview with The Atlantic posted that same day, he knew perfectly well that the overwhelming majority of Canadians hate him.
The general verdict on Justin Trudeau's nine years as prime minister was overwhelmingly negative.
Confronted by the problem that Canadians were not increasing their per capita output, Trudeau responded by accelerating immigration intake as an alternative way of boosting economic growth.
Trump enjoys redirecting attention to himself even if the attention is hostile.
