    Canada is only somewhat smarter than us. If it weren’t for extenuating circumstances they were ready to elect their own cadre of manlet fascists until about 2 months before the election. Another display of dump’s malicious stupidity.

    So I’m not surprised it’s only 41% even though our head of state literally threatened their sovereignty and started open economic warfare with them and our Congress just lets him do it. Canada has a lot of stupid people, just not as many as we do.

      I understand what you’re saying, but the numbers don’t support this. There are far right conservatives in every country. Finding them in Canada is just statistically expected.

        I’m saying Canada is smarter than the US because they were able to abort at the last minute. I don’t think that kind of swing is possible in the US anymore. You wouldn’t see a huge swing like that, it would just be a few percentage points.

        My sister is turning into one and there’s nothing stopping it because her husband works in the rigs and is in an echo chamber of bs lies but telling her that just makes her double down and think she’s so much smarter because she’s going to university and has her own successful small business.
