For some perspective, I highly recommend reading LeGuin’s short story, “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”.

He also has a hell of a lot of experience dealing with whiney toddlers with very limited vocabulary. He does it regularly in the HOC with the left side of the house.

My wife is a travel agent, and she has clients asking about changing or cancelling their US travel plans in 2025.

In the United States, it's already just too sad:It isn't about improving lives

It's about hate
A govt which hates all the same people they do
A govt which legitimizes their hate and ignorance
Those celebrating the tangerine tyrant want to see the mirror image of themselves in the CDN govt
And the Left is already saying "good luck with that".A distraught friend yesterday boiled it down perfectly:

"If we won, we'd be celebrating how many of them would get healthcare, education, or student loans canceled. But they won, and they're celebrating how many of us they get to kill."
Tells the whole story, doesn't it?
This is why there isn't a resistance this time. We respect democracy, and this is what people voted for, so good luck with that.

Excellent. And, I totally agree with your thoughts on following anything to do with Trump anymore. It’s exhausting and I no longer give a f@#k. Let’s focus on our great country of Canada.

BTW - overall voting was DOWN in this most important US election in generations. Trump got about the same number of votes as last time. Harris got 11 million less than Biden. How did this happen? Apathy? Voter suppression.

" I just don't care what Donald Trump does anymore. "
Right. Works well until the pictured dumpster hits. ;-)
Stepping away from all the punditry about what Trump will do is a good thing, and it's something I've done myself. Trump is an erratic pathological liar who's easily manipulated. His mental decline seems to be accelerating, all of which complicates predicting what he'll do. One thing is clear to me though, America is not ready for a woman president. Trump has only lost to a man.
Although I have long been a news and political junkie, I have temporarily stopped watching my nightly fix of American news via NBC. For the sake of our mental and spiritual health, I think we all need a break from the American madness.
Thanks for all the comments -- and Anon, I appreciate what you mean about the American dumpster fire coming into Canada. I guess that's what we will all still have to watch for.
You are definitely on to something there. since the election I've started thinking along those lines because watching or listening to American news about trump is just to mentally stressful. Its not going to help the situation, its not going to change the situation.
The Americans did this to themselves. Now they can learn to live with it or die because of it.
Certainly agree Canadians are better off on focusing on our own country, We still have a chance to maintain our country more or less as it is. We ought not to sit around and think it couldn't happen here because we already have seen what Smith in Alberta is proposing.
Having heard from adults, when I was a child, what happened in WW II, it has been pretty clear to me, even as a kid, things can change quickly and you can go from being exempt from all sorts of things to running for your life and if you did not run, you died. Reading history didn't hurt either.
So good idea!
I expect that Canadians will fall into line with the election of 'lil pp le pire and the ensuing unravelling of our status worldwide and decline in domestic standard of living. You are the "elite" if you understand the consequences of policy . The common man who "feels" or '"believes" or "thinks" or whose gut "opinion" is in direct opposition to the science and math and with the political mental depth of F**K JT on a Canadian flag will prevail.
Canadians will soon amaze you at how brain dead they are too (If your not amazed now with Moe, and Dani and Dougie and the series of Reform/Alliance/ Con clowns starting with Harper and down the line to pp); how quickly empathy is abandoned; how shocked they are when they realize those cuts and reversals apply equally to them.
My go to line is "You didn't watch Handmaids Tale did you?" Hockey that night right? Bread and circuses.
More fun news
If you are playing end times, fulfilment of revelations , I.D. the AC and Whore of Babylon bingo then the wounding the beast in the head and a "miraculous" cure, the trump "win" and general moral/ monetary confusion of this end times election and that world wide effect is really filling in your card. Just a few more killings of end time saints and wholesale persecution of the innocents (please include the environment in this thinking) and a couple of other signs and there will be full cards
and winners!!
I know ... deluded fake news .... we never saw that coming :(
and the real huge joke is we were told that we would sleep we would never "see" it coming. Busy doin' other stuff ...
Revelations 16:15), Behold, I am coming like a thief ! Blessed is the One who stays awake,
Ok I' going back to my Buddhism and cat and yard work and my "be in the world but not of it" introversion. I have today and no real future here is all.
