Not sure. I'm an outsider to the US, so I don't get to hear what their thoughts are. I do believe it might be a combination of that and religious views. Which go hand in hand most of the time. He's also a liar/manipulator, so I think a lot of people got played.

Unless they support the things that people need to raise children; universal healthcare, parental/maternity leave, living wages, affordable housing, affordable daycare, safer schools, free IVF/IUI.... then they need to shut up.

I'm in Canada, and I work with women from Iran. Some of them choose to wear a hijab, and they should have the right to wear it if they want to. Nobody is arguing that they should be forced to wear it. It should be a choice.

Immigration is a frequent complaint from Alberta. I'm curious, if they separate, won't they need more immigrants to do the work for all the people that will leave?

When dealing with bullies at work, I interact with them "only when needed". Never discuss anything personal, and am respectful, but not overly kind. I wouldn't expect anything different from our government.

I was a part of an international epilepsy FB group for my son when he was battling with childhood absence epilepsy. There was no difference in the wait times for EEG's between Canada and the US. Also, many US parents had trouble finding doctors who would even believe them.

Canadians built Air Canada and our airports with decades of public investment. Now we have a privatized airline cutting service, abandoning workers, and pocketing bailouts. If we’re footing the bill anyway, shouldn’t they serve the public—not shareholders?

I said months ago, investment in the companies making these water bombers in Canada so they could expand to meet demand should qualify towards NATO spending goals. It’s part of the country’s defence. More jobs for Canadians would be a bonus. Climate change is increasing demand world wide.
