TLDR: the trumpist tendancies of both conservatives candidates of Canada and Australia made them lose the election in favor of their leftist opponents.
Australians for the most part hate US style politics. But the rich billionaires in Australia are stupid enough to not realise that and wasted millions of dollars basically forcing people to go for the centre left option.
The Australian Labor Party I reckon ran a similar campaign as always, its the right which tried to do something different and it totally back fired on them, just the exact same as it did in Canada.
It really does give me some faith in humanity
Meanwhile, the Brits looked at Trump, went “yay” and voted fascist en masse.

Not in Canada. Another win!
