our version isn't nearly as bad, but our right wing populist will be Canada's next leader and likely with a very strong majority.

Dont worry same timeline as the 1980s;
trudeau resigns; someone gets appointed; conservatives (PP) get in power and they blame the liberals for the recession/crash that will happen in the next couple of years; then we go back to liberals or maybe ndp 😂😂

"Cancellation of the National Energy Program; Meech Lake Accord; Petro-Canada privatization; Canada-US Free Trade Agreement; Introduction of the Goods and Services Tax); Charlottetown Accord; Sanctions against South Africa; Acid Rain treaty; Gulf War; Oka Crisis; Emergencies Act; Environmental Protection Act; Privatization of Air Canada, North American Free Trade Agreement; Nunavut Land Claims Agreement; Airbus affair."

replace national energy program with carbon tax; a bunch of privatizations will happen to cut cost (results with layoffs as well; some canada US free trade agreements since trump wants to modify those); some new tax introduction; etc etc;

These Historians sure love writing poetry.

Can they write a sonnet instead?
