I’m from France. This election has really opened my eyes. I simply had not grasped the level of tyranny exercised by the media, big tech etc. I’m doing my share too. I’ve contacted your Senators, have explained that POTUS victory meant victory for us too, that our future and freedom depend on yours (I truly believe it) and that they have to fight and stand with us. I have thanked judges, even though they are only doing their jobs. I have thanked Mo Brooks and Tommy Tuberville. I speak to people, show them times when the media conveyed fake news. Not all care to listen but some do. I have registered on Twitter, thought I’d be a digital soldier, but got banned (you can say things like “Trump won!” but you can’t state facts and the Constitution - the irony if it, I know-, or your account gets restricted, so I’ve abandoned that pathway. I have also registered with a political party and have given money to it too. I’m doing my share as you’re all doing. It’s a fight worth fighting. It is tiring and time-consuming but when I kiss my son goodnight, I know that I owe it to him to fight, so that his world is a good one to live in as a future teenager and an adult. I’ll see you tomorrow in the morning. Keep up the good fight. Good night, pedes.

I don't think I've met anyone who even knows what politics is.

You may be right. I worked in Toronto some years back (I am American), and early on, I asked my Canadian friends how often Canadian federal elections were held.

I never did find anyone who actually knew.

Man Toronto is a great place and I obviously cheer for their sports teams but that place has been totally compromised by the number of unions who control everything.

Canadian federal elections are held if a "critical" bill does not get a passing vote, or when the prime minister declares an election for funsies. Other than that, it is also done every four years if neither of the prior conditions are met, but it's kind of 50/50 which happens.

Once the elections occur, the Territories, Alberta, Sask, and Manitoba ceremonially throw all their ballots out, because they don't influence the elections, and wait for Toronto to decide on a new leader to lord over them.
