Dr. Jen Gunter has a warning for Canadians who don't want to descend into fascism:
"The National Post sounded a right-wing dog whistle about abortion, and you need to pay attention. We have lived this in the United States, and trust me when I tell you, this is how it starts."

Pierre Poilievre's potential (though looking likely) defeat demonstrates one thing that everyone needs to understand: Canadians don't like assholes all that much. They might tolerate an asshole but that's it.
