It is not "right wing" to recognize that Canada is broken!
The Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 is holding meetings and conferences. I noticed a set of videos from the event in Brussels on March 7, “WTF Happened To Europe?”
One of the alleged “responses” to the Trump regime I am regularly seeing is for Canada to have closer ties to Britain and other parts of Western Europe. I see many of the problems to be similar, so as you view these I invite you to change one word and ask “WTF Happened To Canada?”
This is something I’ve seen in many different places: many citizens have noticed that there are problems with the status-quo, but only what many call the “right wing” are willing to move away from the status-quo.

This isn’t my area of specialty to understand the plan in detail (as I normally would prefer), but the main idea I wish to present is that those who are writing Trump and his advisors off as “stupid” are entirely missing what is happening.
There was also quite a bit of talk during the Persian Gulf War about the real spark being discussions of denominating oil sales in Euros rather than US dollars.
Trump’s return isn’t just chaos, it’s a calculated strategy. While liberals dismiss him, Trump understands raw economic power in a way centrists fail to grasp. What is his master plan, and how could it backfire?
He also spoke at that specific DiEM25 event, but I didn’t find that talk as interesting:
