Without the influence of Trump, we would likely now be instead contending with a Conservative majority government helmed by the party’s most right-wing leader ever.
In fact, the Conservatives made significant gains, despite failing to achieve the electoral outcome they desired. Across the country, the rightward drift is readily apparent, with Conservatives growing their seat count from 119 to 143 and their popular vote share from 33.7 to 41.3 per cent from 2021 to 2025. Moreover, the right secured growth as voter turnout rose by more than 6 percentage points.
For those who want the evidence here is but a smattering of Catholic-sponsored posts in the last weeks of the election. All have one thing in common - vote for a candidate who believes in abolishing abortion rights, and who will support other Catholic objectives. Only one candidate fits the bill - PP.

And here is atypical warning shot across the bow in March of things to come if Carney does not toe the Catholic agenda

The message was clear - ban abortion rights or face defeat.
And in the last weeks poll numbers for PP shot up.
And here is their response to the election, directly from the pens of the Bishops. The Bishops in Canada take their marching orders from the Vatican, a foreign entity in our elections.
