" So power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. ".... A statement penned in the 1800's for an Anglican bishop Richard. Not at all surprising how it has survived through the years and fits so well with the leaders today.

Got really ridiculous when DT said that "GOD" had visited the virus upon him so he could show that you can survive it. No mention that he got it in the first place or that he had eight doctors or more plus the staff to look after him. Wonder if everyone else will get the same treatment???
And then there is a CBC crew down there asking people about the campaigns of both DT and Biden without any lead in to the conversation. When you get some people saying that "GOD" had sent DT to take charge it gets worrisome. But DT did say he liked the uneducated back in 2016

Wish we could learn from all this BS and get back to running our own country for the benefit of the citizens.
Canadians are being polarized as well up here between the reds and blues. To a certain extent we are lucky we also have the orange and greens. At least they can show us other options , even if we do not like them.
How many of us vote for the representative that we think will best express our views in parliament? Rather it has come down to voting for the leader of the party even though we may not like the representative in our particular district. Hopefully some day we will be able to vote for the one we believe will best represent us rather than having to vote for the lesser of bad tasting choices. IMHO

Again. back to waxing the car. If this keeps up I have too much wax on there. LOL

Unfortunately it only makes the public feel good voting for a party representative that we mistakenly think will support the views of his constituency. Voting the party line is demanded and the repercussions for refusing have turned even the originally well meaning reps into mere minions of the party leader.

YES I do have an opinion as we own property in Arizona. Trump's personality leaves a lot to be desired but Biden will turn power over to socialists and the economy over to China. He will also try to kill the energy industry as Trudeau is doing in Canada. Look after your gasoline powered vehicles as both would like to make them extinct.

I totally agree with you and besides those comments would add: he is in favor of a protected border, law and order, the capitalist system , the constitution (glad his choice for the supreme court is done), a strong military and is trying to reign in China which, IMHO, is the biggest threat to international stability. I'll quit there - there are many more reasons.

Stepping into the bs, er i mean conversation. It is sad how democracy is defined by money. Both in Canada and the US the media drives how people think and act. Lemmings. What has struck me is the tone of how a message can be delivered. DJT has the delivery of Jason on Halloween. Pence during the vice presidential debate made several statements about policy delivered in a polished, clean and defined way that sounded very good to me. The Red side has good ideas and is progressive but has to work with the Blues to cover all voters. Their leader is not a leader. He's a bully and provocateur who looks to gain votes by appealing to the underside of society on a public level. IMHO this isn't healthy for society. Growing up I was taught to respect people and listen to all sides and work to balance. Not everyone will be happy but respect a decision made on facts. This has been lost over the past 4 years. Name calling and attacking people is not good for teaching our young people how to act towards our fellow man.
On the other side it is sad that the Blues could not come up with a candidate with a bit more life expectancy. I do not like to socialist side but do know to be balanced we need to have a blend of social programs to assist the unfortunate when required. That is what is missing here is the knowledge of the electorate and leaders that it is never black or white, red or blue but somewhere in between, varying in shades based on the issue.

I fear for the outcome if the Red comes out on top because of how the past 4 years have evolved and how society has denigrated. I also fear if the Blue wins the social side grows too strong. Between the two I think that the Blue would have a bit more affinity to "talk and listen" than the Red side would.

It's going to be a new world on November 4 and Let's all hope that some kind of balance can be gained.

No commentary and no comment from me. Brightness has little to do with it.

Are they the same Canadians who vote for Trudeau and his cronies? If so count me as one of the other 20%.

My personal opinion is that this should had been in the thread below.
Not too bright having several threads on basically the same topic.
Nik was kind enough to let us voice our opinions on US politics in that thread.
My hope is that our opinions do not sow dissent among our own CCF members. There is enough of that south of the border
