Canadian here: completely embarrassed every time a Canadian pipes up to talk about how awful it is living next to the USA when our own domestic conservative libertarians are winning opinion polls in the mass media every day.
We are one step behind America and it is ignorant to pretend otherwise.

We may be in trouble.
The volume of absolutely credulous "they're not going to do anything bad, it wasn't in their platform" misreading people are making is phenomenal.

"Liberal fatigue" should not result in electing the conservative clowns.

I do not understand how Danielle Smith got elected.
"Liberal fatigue" and misogyny got us Jason Kenney, but Danielle Smith is utterly baffling to me. She went off the conspiracy deep end and yet a whole chunk of people refused to vote for not-conservatives.
