Canada:
A disappointment in some ways based on what we were promised during the campaign and especially in his dealings with the fascists to our south. Not an absolute catastrophe (despite what Maple MAGA cries on every social network), but definitely not focused on the little guy like they said they would be.
To be honest, I feel kind of tricked a little bit. We had a legitimately good third party that usually held the balance of power (NDP) and could use their votes to cooperate with the ruling Liberals to get some legitimately good things done. (You support 10 dollar a day daycare or we won't use our votes to help you...that kind of thing). But during the last election, there was so much fear mongering about the Conservatives that we were essentially convinced that we needed to sacrifice the NDP in order to avoid splitting the vote. So now we have a party that can basically do whatever they want for the most part.
Even if it is the far far better of the two parties that has that power, the lack of a third party check and balance is bothersome.
but...still far far far preferable to Pierre Poppinfresh and his MAGA-lite cultists.
Isn't our red regime still a minority by, like, one?
And we don't pick for perfection; we pick to get the best of who can win, and that's not orange today.
There is no situation so bad that Peter Polyestre can't make it worse.
