TBH, I’m American, and from what I’ve seen, Trudeau seems to be much more popular and liked in the US than he is in Canada (though in our defense, literally anyone, even Doug Ford, looks good in comparison to Trump).

My best guess, though please remember I’m a certified idiot and not that informed compared to like, 90% of the people I know, is that he gets less (and generally better) publicity in the USA. Meanwhile, we have to live with whatever his decisions are, so we end up hearing a lot more of it (and living it), if that makes sense? It probably doesn’t, honestly.

some of my only-partially-informed, canadian political opinions and more thoughts under the cut

i’m honestly just. i’m angry, yeah, but mostly i’m just. disappointed. i even got my mother to vote NDP, she got a bunch of other people we know, and i’m just.

even that little bit of good in the world feels fucking empty right now. what the hell is gonna happen to me? we don’t know. i live on disability! my mother lives on disability, and i live with her, so i don’t even get the full amount! we’re already fucking poor! i’m going to college in toronto, probably, and now i really regret applying. i shouldn’t have to feel that way!

i’m bisexual and autistic and open about both of those things! what the actual fuck is going to happen to me because of that? i don’t know!

because of my mom’s disabilities she spent a lot of my childhood in the hospital. enough that i remember the old hospital waiting areas better than i do my own childhood bedroom. i’m so, so fucking worried right now.

in short: if you voted for doug ford, fuck you.
