Definitely know the feeling, although they tend to give us more political
parties in Canada to choose from, sometimes 5 or 6 but only the top 3
usually have much chance of gaining enough power to do anything, and
really, it's more just the top 2. Our Liberals and Conservatives who are
like your Democrats and Republicans.

All the talking we are doing about Trump doesn't mean we were all that
happy with Trudeau. He seems a nice guy but tends to cave in to every
minority group that wants something, and that something is almost
always expressed in dollars.

His other cave in was to increased immigration which caused a housing
shortage and was a big part of the rising cost of housing in Canada.

He was likely elected because his father Pierre Elliot Trudeau was
Prime Minister here for over 15 years from 1968 to 1984.
As I recall it, his father was a tougher politician than he is..

Speaking of immigration.. I hear Trump is offering to move people
to the front of the waiting line to get into the USA if they pay
$5 Million to get there..
