Guys, I know you hate granular opinions, but the truth is that the aggregates of the polls prior to the election were within the margin of error from the election result.

Obviously he won, no one is disputing that.
But I expect four years of non-stop whining about it. From you.

You're confusing me with people who complain about selfies.

The next four years (if that) will be leveled with much more material criticism, most of which you will actually agree with and defend.

It will be an easy route and quite possibly, something your country desperately needed before they begin their real transition.

No, I'm not confusing anything. You will spend the next four years posting opinion pieces from butthurt left-wing "academics" and "commentators" as if they were facts.

OF COURSE I will agree with you frequently. Neither side has a monopoly on sense, and both sides have a surplus of bullsh*t. As we've seen before, I will agree with and support you on the infrequent occasions you happen to stumble into reality. The rest of the time I'll give you the mocking you so richly deserve.

Yay.

Canada and the US infrastructure was built with European trade as the backbone. So much so even North/South trade is bottlenecked.

Trade has shifted drastically to the West coast.

The infrastructure we have now lacks the needs of the near future.

People are going to work building this there is no doubt and it's going to open up the West for manufacturing and processing.

Question is, are you going to pay for it with socialist boogeyman taxes or is it going to be a for profit private ecofascist system or both?

I'm always up for anything with "fascist" in the name.

Trump is going to be worse than Stalin if they give him full access to nukes.

Where were the suggestions of electoral reform BEFORE the election?


If Canada had a system like the Electoral College we wouldn't have two Provinces running the whole country.
It all comes down to voter turnout.
Clinton only won about 1/4 of the 50 States. Those States had a higher voter turnout than the States that Trump won giving her the popular vote. It doesn't mean anything. Considering that Trump won about 3/4 of the 50 States, his winning is the democratic outcome of the election.
It wouldn't be right to have 1/4 of the States running the whole country.

You figure that it's democratic when those Albertans, sho make up 1/9th of the country, get their way? Florida usually calls the outcome of a US election, not New Hampshire.
