has been injured or worse. I remember when there was a shooter on Parliament Hill in 2014. I live 10 blocks away. My sister called me to say not to go downtown. I turned on the TV and it was upsetting. One victim dead, one terrorist dead, police everywhere not knowing if there were more terrorists. I could not watch being that close. I did errands and ate out. There was a big crowd as everyone from government offices had evacuated. I remember, on Jan 6, I also quit watching live. I pick and chose what I watch because I am soft. I laugh when I can because it helps make sense of situations. If you are laughing at your situation or the situation of your country you have to be looking outside yourself to get there. Takes a load off. People in suburbs did not vote for Conservatives because they were seen as trying to pretend they were centrists. Do you know how many people in the suburbs of Toronto are two generations away from living somewhere else in the world where politicians are not honest and authentic and earnest like Trudeau and those on the left in North America? O'Toole was lying his ass off. They reject that ****! I am very relieved they will not be pretending as much anymore. I don't see much hope for them federally unless they elect a retail politician and they don't have one other than Doug Ford and he is busy being Premier of Ontario. I am relieved. This is the right in Canada in retreat.
