One tiny silver lining is that this may deter Canada from electing that jerk.

As is the case in the rest of the developed world, Canada is saturated with anti-incumbent fever.

We had an election in BC a few weeks ago, and the NDP barely clung to power- after the Liberal party withdrew all its candidates from the election, the BC conservatives surged to within 2 seats of winning a majority.

Unless something changes dramatically, PP will be the next prime minister after the 2025 elections- Conservatives have a double digit lead over the Liberals right now.

Anti-vax climate change deniers who blame immigrants for housing unaffordability- what’s not to like?

The US election results might change things. Fingers crossed.

For the 20 million illegals from the U.S. who are about to storm our borders before the deportations begin. That's the latest scaremongering from our own version of MAGAs.

But you're welcome to stay on mine, if you don't mind sharing.
