That Breitbart interview is so damning for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Not only does she clearly ask a hostile government to interfere in Canadian elections in order to help the Conservatives win, she pushes the idea because Poilievre would be “very much in sync” with Trump. Ouch.

They call it "freedom" when it is actually license.
True freedom includes respecting the freedom of others.
License does what it wants, truncating the freedom of those around them by having to accommodate them.
Abusers take license.

I hope Canadians really take a look at what’s happening in America and ask if you are really prepared to lose our country. Because we do live in a democracy where we have more freedoms than 99% of other countries in the world. Do you really want to lose that? For what? For greed and hatred?
