Also not a word on all the canadian politicians caught travelling during the pandemic.... stuff that we as canadians should care about Just because it's not discussed in a Trump thread doesn't mean it's not cared about. But sitting here in the Maritimes...we have our own issues with local provincial politicians and if we commented on all the stupid things we see the Conservative governments in Alberta and Ontario doing we'd fill another 161 pages. I think Trump and his assault on democracy south of the border is as important as Ontario's provincial finance minister taking a trip during a pandemic that his boss only got mad at AFTER the media uncovered what was happening. Ontario had Wynne and she ran the thing into the ground and their answer was to elect a Ford. We could fill multiple 161 page thread on the awful provincial governments in Ontario over the last 15 years. But it's hard to not see why Trump and his antics "trump" the closer to home stuff. We're witnessing world history unfolding with Trump that will be used to teach history and shape future political laws for decades. Not quite the same as Canadians going on vacation. As stupid as it was to do so during a pandemic where you're telling/demanding people not to gather and to change habits.

Some of the idiotic Trump tactics are already trickling into politics in other countries. It's a very dangerous time.

you missed the point.... no big deal
not suggesting the Trump stuff isn't bigger news and chat worthy ..... it just blows my mind how so many Canadians could care less what happens in their own front yard (not mentioning anyone specifically this is a generic comment only) but will spend all day watching CNN and turn every discussion towards american politics/media/sports etc at every opportunity
that's all
and yeah sorry i do find it comical theres 160 plus pages on Trump (starting from many years ago and mostly dominated by one individual) on a message board about Maritime hockey in a Quebec hockey league....
not policing either so don't go there
feel free to talk as much as you want about Trump and america and all their problems... i will mostly continue to ignore it as i have for the majority of these 160 plus pages and be happy when the buffoon is gone from the white house

Polarizing and frustrating but interesting. But i'm with you on the folks who have gotten caught up in it and can't turn off their cnn or fox news and can't seem to see the world outside of it all. There's a lot more of them lately and social media giving them an outlet doesn't help.

There's a lot more of them lately and social media giving them an outlet doesn't help. The biggest difference between Canada & the US is just that Trump's news cycle is at an unfathomable rate. His rhetoric has unfortunately seeped through into our culture to where it can't be easily ignored. Just for example Trump attacking the governor of Michigan who recently had a plot thwarted to kidnap and kill her was like a 2-3 day news cycle and then forgotten about. Something like WE or SNC Lavalin consume months worth of news or in some cases over a year. Better engagement in a democracy is always more healthy than less. The pandemic should be a lesson in how much impact our vote can have, when we are in a time when government affects our daily lives more than any other time. Our voter turnout in Canada is still quite disappointing, more participation would be great, and more informed participation would be even better. Countries like Denmark & Norway are hitting high 75-80% but we are only mid 60's. Right now with junior hockey not happening and the inability to travel, go to concerts etc. There's more than enough time to follow both US, Canadian & provincial politics. There's definitely a fine line between following along, commenting vs becoming unhealthily obsessed though. At the beginning of the pandemic when there was so much covid related information coming in it was easy to find yourself doomscrolling on Twitter.

Anyone watching these scenes out of DC?
If you wonder why someone like Trump is so dangerous or why people follow so closely with worry, this is as close as youll see to an attempted sedition in our lifetimes. This is radicalization.
Great time to look back at all those "both candidates are bad" and hes "entertaining" takes.

Great time to look back at all those "both candidates are bad" takes. Trump sounds like a Confederate leader in his speeches "we need to take back our country" and "they want to take our country", getting his MAGA wingnuts riled up. He really belongs in jail. He's gone to court 61 times trying to change election results and his lawyers had to admit that they had ZERO evidence of fraud, his only resort is to incite violence and riots to try and stay in power...banana republic stuff.

I cannot get over how many Teenage Kids and Younger are part of this Crowd . They actually breached the Capitol and went into the Senate chambers...not sure how DC police was not ready for this, Trump has been talking about his wingnuts being in town for 3 or 4 weeks. Somebody should get fired.

Imagine the scene if BLM stormed a government building during the summer.
What an absolute disgrace they've let their country become. Very sad day in American history.

I was told though on these forums that Biden (who overcame a stutter from a young age) sometimes slips up his words and that the media was unfair to Trump therefore the candidates are equally bad. This will be remembered in a similar way to 9/11 I believe. Good luck to the Republican party to ever win another election after being attached to this.

The GOP are all complicit in this as all but a handful have supported this charade for 4 years and now they all want him to step up and do the right thing. Just pathetic.

Rudy is the latest member of the Trump inner circle to get Covid.... hope he gets better and this gets him off TV peddling BS about the election being stolen. Rudy was a great mayor of NY , anyone who has been to Manhattan and especially Times Square and has seen how beautiful that place is owes it to Rudy because it was a complete shithole in the 80s and early 90s before he was elected. He is wasting his legacy going on TV every day spouting election fraud. It never ceases to amaze me how many people will flush whatever reputation they have down the toilet for Trump and his MAGAts. Rudy talking about trial by combat yesterday.... I am like wait... WHAT??? Was he watching GOT during his Covid rest?
His family needs to have an intervention already...
Anyways about yesterday... Trump should just resign but he won't, luckily it is only 13 days left. Pundits going off about BLM/Antifa but that doesn't give your side the right to do the exact same thing especially when you know the media is going to show it for the world to see. A decade ago the Tea Party protested peacefully and now this... just disgusting and now anyone on the right who isn't going to be happy with how the next 2/4 years probably much longer is going to go won't have the free reign to peacefully protest.
