So glad the US elections are over for another 4 years, even though the midterms happen every 2 years. The people have spoken. It doesn’t matter what we think north of the border. We get inundated with American news channels that carry very radical infocommercials, touting how bad and corrupt the other side is. Hundreds of millions spent on ads while the world is burning and people are starving to death.
TV pundits tell us who is ahead only to be proven drastically wrong; Al spins stories that scare the populace into a frenzy and vote for the guy who is least qualified to do the job. Have faith, oh loyal subjects. We are just pathetic subjects to be used and tossed aside. Our worst fears are coming true.
History may be about to repeat itself on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. Many newcomers who have come to Canada for a new life and escaped from corrupt and war-torn countries only to see it raise its ugly head here know what happens when we elect despots. Two World Wars, the Korean War, and countless other battles since have not taught us anything. Suffer the poor children that inherit this world.
