    Wearing my team Canada shirt today because the entire country won last night, whether everyone realizes it or not.

      I wouldn’t say WON, but bullets were dodged for sure. Phew!

      ( But obviously we need to work on basic education )

      It was actually so nice. I walked into work and nobody was talking politics because it didn’t feel like the world was ending.

      For any conservatives, I’m sorry. I work and am highly involved with vulnerable people, and I vote to protect them as best I can. A vote for PP would not have been a vote to protect the most vulnerable I know, which in my eyes is what a society is meant to do.

          I appreciate that, but I also want to avoid tribalism in relation to politics whenever I can. It’s not about teams or colours in my eyes.

            You realize conservatives generally vote based on hatred and/or greed, right?

        Same. I also work with vulnerable people and a vote for PP is a vote for many of my peeps at work to be tazered in a jail bathroom for something they cannot afford to medicate (such as it is in “healthcare is a big business” USA).
