About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said.

If there's just one reason I don't want Trump in office, it's that I don't want to have news on whatever Trump lied about air on Citynews EVERY goddamn evening.

But we are beyond that. If Trump and his increasingly deranged advisers get to the levers of powers again... it's not going to be good.

  • Has Biden ever said something to the effect of "As President I'll be dictator just for a day?"
  • Have Biden and his supporters organized a violent attack on the Capitol?

Polievre is a sniveling liar playing political games in our Parliament but even he and 90% of his party haven't done the likes of above...

Up in Canada we have our share of kooks like the folks that camped out in Ottawa for some time and blocked border crossings... but it's very clear the source of this type of rhetoric is imported from Americans.
