Canadians on the current US elections

Eh? 
want to move... 
Not just to be agreeable either 
And I wouldn't call Ford a decent person promoted above his abilities. He ran for office, and won due to the previous Con Premier of the province amalgamating greater Toronto with all the outlaying suburbs that were mostly conservative voters. A kind of redistricting to assure that any new mayor of Toronto would be nominated by the con majority outside of greater Toronto. He ran much like Trump, a populist that would say anything. And of course also had the hubris to think he could smoke crack with gangsters and drink till he passed out. Then vehemently denied and lied about it. Make comments about a female staffer that he'd like to "eat her out". And when confronted said "I have more than enough to eat at home". So no, not a decent person.
And yeah, I grew up with some of those kinds of guys that just wanted to drink and beat people up...and then brag about it on the job site the next day. There are a percent of assholes in every country.
I don't find that video funny at all. That kind of passive aggressive shot-making by Canadians against Americans is embarrassing to me. (Unless it is actually funny) But you are too tempting a target. But its not just Canadians that are baffled by so much of your population's views, its the whole world. Like that cover of an English paper entitled How Can 59 Million People Be So Dumb? after the second time Bush was (s)elected. And now, Canadians, along with most of the rest of the world are asking.."How can half of your population actually plan to vote for such a stupid racist asshole like Trump?"
Its probably a symptom of being ignored, like a big brother ignores his young sibling. So some take a bit of pleasure in rubbing in how at least we do not have quite the same levels of idiocracy as down there. Sorry, but you do have us beat in that. And we have to ask, what does that say about how your country is run or has evolved through the decades?
And I realize that when we make fun, you and the rest of the more enlightened, intelligent, and mostly liberal Americans get lumped in with your rather large segment of ignorant arrogant assholes. But actually putting up their own ignorant arrogant asshole to represent them through an established old party?....I'll try and be diplomatic...Only in America is all I'll say.
