I will say, it's complicated. I'm not a fan of Pierre, but he's doing what he thinks he needs to to win.
Canadians are delusionally, retardedly, retardedly nationalistic. Even though there are a bunch of Canadians that like Trump, bashing Trump still probably sells better to Canadians overall...which is exactly why Pierre is right (if for the wrong reasons), and Canada cannot be the 51st state. Because we don't fucking want you, Canada. Get your shit together, and then we can talk about taking you over. Although I guess if you got your shit together you wouldn't need to be saved.
For real, Canadians are suffering from mass delusion when it comes to Canadian nationalism. Liberal, "conservative," doesn't matter. They'll lash out and attack anyone who they think is badmouthing Canada, in the most insane way they can think of.
This is, of course, on average, and no hate to the good and sane Canadians, few though they may be.
EDIT: Just how delusional am I talking? From here on KiA2, "Our soldiers know it. We know we can kick US butt on a 4:1 ratio, we're that good..." Another example, a conservative (by Canadian standards) Youtuber, Mr Sunshine Baby, who hates Trudeau...cheered on Trudeau 'getting one over on Trump' by doing exactly what Trump wanted, in regards to tariffs. He wasn't the only conservative Canadian to delusionally cheer on Trudeau caving to the US, either. Canadians are so desperate for a win they just make shit up, even the conservatives.
Canadian nationalism only appears when the perceived attack comes from the United States. Canadians have been sitting passively by for decades while Chinese Communists and Eurofag billionaires buy our government and our real estate and flood us with Indians and other third-worlders. Canadians were so unbothered by Trudeau calling us a "post-national" state that they re-elected him two more times.
No, Canadians are not nationalistic in any coherent sense of the word. Canadians are only able to define themselves in opposition to the United States, because we're basically just America's retarded cousin who lives on the edge of the trailer park and we don't want to admit it.

Correct, I should have clarified. I meant verbally. They won't do shit for their country, many can't even define what "Canada" is, but if someone - especially the US, good point - says some shit, Canadians freak the fuck out and then suddenly act like caricatures of nationalists.
But, yeah, they're not nationalist in any actually useful sense. Which is sad.

Yup, that's a big part of it, and why Pierre and others have to behave in such ways.
