Ask Canada: What are your MAGA guys up to these days?

American here. I had a passing thought while reading tariff war news and wanted to inquire. I seem to remember some stories about how there's some percentage of Canadians that are as crazy pilled as our MAGAs, flying confederate flags and such, and I was wondering, what are they up to these days? How are they taking things post Trump election and present tariff fighting? Are they also booing the american anthem at hockey games? Or are they buying Kentucky whiskey in solidarity? I find the idea of those guys so fascinating, but I have so little news sources for them. Anyone have any insight into what the chatter is like in those communities lately?

Maple MAGA didn't go anywhere, but they got a very harsh slap in the face when most Canadians "woke up" to politics. They were doing that thing American Conservatives do where they pretend that everyone secretly agrees with them and they are the "silent majority".
That's easier to do when most Canadians don't vote, don't follow politics and are generally checked out, as it has been for years.
But then, basically overnight, Canadians across the country all engaged. Boycotts, firearms training, tracking the news on a daily basis. Funny what a little thing like threats to our sovereignty will do. And Maple MAGA didn't suddenly change their tune. They're still out there, loving Trump, consuming Russian propaganda and thinking Canada is a fascist regime because we have the gall to fund social programs. But they're a lot less loud when they realize they're the minority in every room. Essentially, they're cowards and traitors and both those groups tend to keep their head down when a nation gets a surge of patriotism.
