If Canadians fear the political and economic consequences of Donald Trump’s return to power, this feeling of insecurity is even more present the day following his resounding victory in Iowa.
In Stanstead, Canadian and American citizens say they are worried and do not dare imagine the consequences of the former president’s Republican inauguration, even less of his possible re-election next November.
Citizens in the Quebec municipality bordering that of Derby Line in Vermont are in disbelief the day following Donald Trump’s victory in the primaries in Iowa. People cannot understand how the former American president might succeed in rallying the Republican electorate despite his numerous legal disputes.
Vermont has traditionally been Democratic for around forty years, even though, during the last elections in 2020, the northern part of the state voted in favor of the Republicans.
At the bowling alley, TVA Nouvelles was able to feel the pulse of some American citizens. They have difficulty hiding their concerns and do not even dare to imagine what will happen if Donald Trump were to win the nomination or, even worse, return to the White House.
For Emmanuel Choquette, specialist in political strategies and communications at the University of Sherbrooke, Trump’s Americanist speech and the populist movement might have an impact on the 2025 federal election in Quebec. His re-election would not be without consequences, and not only for Canada.
The New Hampshire primaries next Tuesday might be decisive. Many citizens are crossing their fingers, hoping that the trend will be reversed.
