I can see why such a view would be appealing. Do I agree with Trump's style? Not completely.
Living in ON in the months leading up to Doug Ford's election, I can see why the populist "us first" viewpoint is very much seductive to the average voter. Especially in an age where wages are relatively stagnant while inflation and the cost of living are, in relation, increasing heavily to the point that the average young person can only dream of living their parents' lifestyles even when making significantly more money... but I digress.
But I can say this much, if a nationalist leader - regardless of party line - pledged to put "Canada First", especially from an immigration point of view as well as in terms of banning/limiting foreign investment (not radical as Aus, NZ, Singapore are all making that shift), that person would get my vote...
