Maybe in the future. You never know.

My sister loves him and his brother.

They are adorable together. The governor has been guesting on Chris's nightly show. Such sweet brother/brother repartee. My daughter Nadine listens to CNN in the Netherlands and commented to me how much they remind her of the relationship between her brothers Chris and Joe. So cute they way they "bust" each other.

He is hated in the prairies. He made mistakes but most Canadians prefer him to these other morons. His CoVid reaction has increased his popularity which is making right wingers mad. I would say he has about a 52% approval rating.

He isn’t racist. Has never bullied women. He is pro immigrant and the racists hate that.

Got it. Someone was talking about as a young man he had dressed in blackface and brownface and that he was accused of bullying his own female attorney general. I wasn’t sure what they were talking about.

There was a scandal that involved the attorney general. Apparently his underlines pushed for her to take it easy on a company and people thought he was behind it. He may have been but she was also close to someone he beat for the leadership. The blackface dud thing happened but he also admitted it was wrong. Def not perfect but the alternative would mean throwing immmigrants out of the country and increasing racism. So it backfired on the conservatives

He just started his second term so five years.

Is this his last or how many terms can they have?

I really have to read up on Canadian politics more, and the structure of the government. I've always wanted to. I am going to read up.

This is why I hope we don't relax too soon.

100% agree.

I just can’t believe Sweden has done nothing. I remember reading years ago how smart Sweden was, especially in education, advanced in Europe. So why would they pull stupid with this? United Kingdom and the Netherlands were trying to do this initially too. At least they switched game plans. This could be why the UKs death rate % is high since they’re playing catch up.

Yes, thank God the Netherlands totally switched game plans.
