Dear Editor:
RE: Only one candidate? (April 3).
Mr. Lancaster, you are right on the money. Whether you are qualified or not, if you are Conservative, you are in. This is unfortunate. As other writers have noted, this is a critical election and the future of Canada hangs on it.
For more than two years, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has modelled his political approach on Donald Trump, enjoying the time when he was supported by both Trump and Elon Musk.
Now Trump, in his effort to help Poilievre, is trying reverse psychology and saying he would rather have a Mark Carney-led Liberal government in power. Who is kidding who? Trump would rather have a like-minded politician like Poilievre in Ottawa who he can manipulate and bully into getting what he wants.
Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state and there is no way Poilievre can stand up to his idol.
Please, fellow Canadians, don’t vote on auto pilot. Think about what your choice is and if you really want to join the United States. Believe me, I spend enough time down south to know I do not.
