I've been doing my level best up here to attempt to educate Canadians as to why Trump resonates with so many people in the (as they see it) backwater swamp that is the USA. They just.don't.get.it. It's fascinating that the countries are so similar in many ways, but the national psychologies are ENTIRELY different.
I truly hope there is a complete "throw the bums out" clean sweep of the congress. I don't know about Trump; he's too much of a free radical. But maybe that's just what's needed right now - the nice guys don't have what it takes to deal with the current political realities.
Vikram, when you're back on TCKT, could you see if there's a glitch with posting? Both Lyana and I have had problems with our posts showing up twice. I have no clue why, I just keep deleting the extras.
Question: is it possible that you hit Publish," and when it doesn't seem to respond you hit it again? I think I have had that happen, and ended up with a double post.
I was fist-pumping and trying not to cheer out loud a few times during this speech.

Lyana, you can always reply with "Well, we elected Justin Trudeau, didn't we?"
Delete:-D (yes, I'm a Stephen Harper fangirl...)
Lol... problem is, most people are just fine with Trudeau part Deux. :-(
DeleteI really miss Stephen Harper... Last I heard, he may be headed down to the US - said he's resigning his MP seat.

A very inclusive speech if you ask me.
ReplyDeletePut me in the "despise Trump" camp. I'm hoping for a delegate revolt next month.
ReplyDeleteIf so, there will be torches and pitchforks.

Perhaps, on both camps ;-)

DeleteJust a thought.
I thought that may have happened too, Matt. But the second time my comment doubled, I definitely only his "post" one time. Weird!
DeleteThat's true for me too, florie. The last couple of times, I know I have only hit "publish" once.
