Something could be brewing in Canada's election.

Anderson Cooper did a story this week on the Canadian election and John King interviewed numerous young voters who typically vote Green but intend to vote Liberal and send a message to Donald Trump about national sovereignty. It might it even be close Monday night.

Conservatives get second place, with the NDP and Bloq losing seats.

So folks are voting ABC, Anyone But Conservative.

We have some here that are set to primary Democrats, with lots of money, when we are on the verge of losing our Democracy.

Carney will win, and the only question is will he have a solid majority or have to form a coalition, likely with the BQ, because the NDP are going to lose a ton of seats this time. Hopefully, Jagmeet Singh has already prepared his resignation speech.

The Cons might 'own' Alberta but they don't own my vote and it went to our Liberal candidate.

I’ve read articles in the Canadian press that would indicate I’m not the only one. I voted by mail, early. Made sure the hubby did too.

Carney is a very impressive candidate. I think the Trump factor and the ongoing disaster in the US has been a true eye-opener for our friends to the North. To be honest, it wasn't until after Agent Orange's inauguration that I was even aware of the Maple MAGA movement. I knew the conservative branch had opened a significant lead but had no idea what they had turned into.

It's like a damn virus spreading around the globe!

Good luck Canada. You have a very good chance of smothering a fascist takeover in its cradle.

Learn from our mistakes.
