There could be a lot of wrecking ball damage done to American government by then, Apache. I hope the Dems make it a public platform to restore what gets torn down. My head just shook reading through Heather's letter, honestly! For the first time, in the past week or so, i've developed real anxieties about what T 2.0 is going to mean to Canadian fortunes, let alone the rest of the international democratic community.

Frank, I feel for Canadians -- you really are a turtle on a fence post during an earthquake (sorry, best analogy in could come up with.)

And it looks like a right-ward trend may be happening there again.

I have a family genealogy that was commissioned by a great-uncle and professionally done in 1935, and it shows I am a descendant of Louis Hebert, considered the first European settler of Canada (1617.) Three of my 4 grandparents immigrated to the US from Canada in the early 1900s, and I have a strong attachment to your beautiful country. I apologize for the actions of your southern neighbor -- we must look like drunken armed hillbillies to you, standing around a bonfire with boxes of firecrackers.

I do hope that whomever gets elected in Canada is not a fascist like here in the U.S.

Right, where are The Dems? We have journalists and legal analysts banding together in The Contrarian, Timothy Snyder pitching the US having an equivalent to UKs shadow govt and where the hell is Dem leadership????? Why cant they get their act together like private citizens have to organize a message and defense for Democracy??????

If the DNC decides to stay Relevant, it needs to Reform... It needs to stop focusing on 1% Social Issues, and more on 90% Economic Issues... That will reach many of the non-voters, that is where this last Election was lost... Reuben Gallegos Campaign was based on this this... Reuben canvassed AZ, including over 100 Indigenous Nations, with the intention of Representing his constituents, and not the DC Beltway, or the 1%... Reuben won in a Red State... Watch this Week's Panel Discussion of 'Bill Maher' ... It is informative...
