Our neighbor to the north has a lot going for it. Beautiful scenery, some decent food (if you like poutine), a few decent beers, and great hunting and fishing. But their voting patterns?

Hoo boy. 

Now, after some months where we were hoping the Conservatives might win the next Canucki-lection and put Pierre Poilievre in the Prime Minister's chair, now the Canadian Liberals - the party of Justin Trudeau - seem to be resurging. On Monday, could Canada be about to make the wrong choice, again?

At a rally in London, Ontario, on Friday, the crowd booed as Mark Carney delivered his core campaign line about the existential threat Canada faces from its neighbour.

"President Trump is trying to break us so that America could own us," the Liberal leader warned.

"Never," supporters shouted back. Many waved Canadian flags taped to ice hockey sticks.

Canadian liberals, it seems, have the same habit of invoking Trump when talking to supporters. They are also just about as rational about our president as our home-grown liberals are - that is, not very much.

Similar levels of passion were also on display at the union hall where Pierre Poilievre greeted enthusiastic supporters in the Toronto area earlier in the week.

The Conservative leader has drawn large crowds to rallies across the country, where "Bring it Home" is a call to arms: both to vote for a change of government and a nod to the wave of Canadian patriotism in the face of US tariff threats.

In the final hours of a 36-day campaign, Donald Trump's shadow looms over everything. The winner of Monday's election is likely to be the party able to convince voters they have a plan for how to deal with the US president.

National polls suggest the Liberals have maintained a narrow lead entering last stretch.

That's mildly disappointing. Most Americans who are to the right would prefer to see Pierre Poilievre in the PM's chair, as he would be more in line with American sensibilities; Mark Carney seems more of a "Trudeau Lite" candidate. Poilievre may be a "Trump Lite," but, since Canada has been referred to as "America Lite," that seems appropriate.

Of course, polls are worth every penny we pay for them. 

Despite the current snapping at each other across the border, Canada and the United States are something unprecedented in the history of mankind. Two nations, sharing an over 3,000-mile border, completely demilitarized, with no incidents, invasions or conflicts for over 200 years. That's remarkable.

Even so, if I could ask our Canadian neighbors to the north (or to the east, in my case) one thing, it would be this: Please don't do this. Your people have suffered enough under the Liberals!

Here's what it comes down to.

Both frontrunners agree in broad strokes on the priorities: the need to pivot away from dependence on the US; the development of oil, gas and mining sectors; protection for workers affected by tariffs; and increased defence spending.

But they disagree on who is best to lead Canada forward, especially when so much is at stake.

"It's time for experience, not experiments," Carney told his supporters in London.

Poilievre closing message was: "We can choose change on Monday. We can take back control of our lives and build a bright future."

Get after it, Canadians.
