Perhaps someone can explain why so many of you think your new President will hurt you so much?
I have noticed a few comments on how people think the two party system is flawed, well as someone from a country where we have a multi-party system, both systems are not great. All more parties really do is push everyone closer to the centre.
I have also noticed that people are really worried about socialism...a little really isn't a bad thing. When it comes down to it, Canadians have a very high standard of living due to our healthcare and other government funded programs. Not every person is a lazy slacker on these programs and there have been measures taken to ensure that only people who need them can get them.
I won't say that I am the most informed person on US government, but couldn't a case be made the Bush Jr was one of the worst presidents ever? If you look at the country before he took over and at it now, it has taken a massive downturn globally and internally. I am not trying to start a massive flame war or anything...just trying to understand how anyone could make things worse than what Bush has done to your country.
I love so much about the States and it really bugs me that you are struggling so bad.
