Yes, indeed. If you check out Poilievre’s platform, he almost entirely mimics Trump’s, right down to promoting Canada’s own version of DOGE. That’s why there was such a huge turnout at the voting booths. The writing was on the wall with that guy and becoming American was not what the majority of us wanted.
Well Poilievre, who’s party lost tonight, has been extremely limp-wristed in his opposition to Trump’s threats, but he hasn’t outright said he’d surrender, just implied it with his weak rhetoric. More likely to me is that Trump in his dementia ridden mind was literally calling for people to vote for him. Like somehow enough Canadians would write Trump on their ballots that it would “win” the election for him, which demonstrates such a fundamental lack of understanding about our electoral system that I don’t even know where to begin.

Wait, you have a serious candidate that wants to surrender to the US?
