I think the rest of the world just has to realise the US we thought we all knew probably just doesn't exist and hasn't for a while. We need to shift our assumptions and look at the US in the same way we look at India.

Striking that with all the comment on the gender gap, I’ve yet to hear a single taking head mention the fact that one of the candidates is a rapist. This election does feel like a referendum on men’s right to rape women.

@Citizen004 I am sure that the polling was high when the Japanese were interned, Indigenous children were put in residential schools, and we discriminated against gay people. This is why human rights are not put to a majority vote.

The Trump team knew exactly what they were getting when the comedian was asked to speak. This was orchestrated. It’s what Trump, Stephen Miller & others in his circle say both openly & behind closed doors. Take a stand against it: rescind your endorsement for Trump or own it.

“Trump waited to make sure that Bezos did what he said he was going to do, and then met with the Blue Origin people,” he said on Saturday. “Which tells us that there was an actual deal made."

I know I sound like a broken record, but I can't believe I live in a world where having 27 outbreaks in 15 hospitals is considered ok infection protection and control

[Protect Our Province Alberta @PopAlberta]

From an anonymous source, data shows that #COVID19AB ICU inpatients have DOUBLED in Alberta in the past ten days.
This is putting a massive load on Emergency and ICUs across the province.
Strangely, the @CMOH_Alberta and @AdrianaLaGrange are silent.

Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be fair on this, no matter who was going to president, this was going to be a problem… But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than here. So just do the math. That’s more than 400k people. People’s grandparents, people’s fathers, people’s moms who would’ve been alive if Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him. It might have been somebody in your family that could’ve been impacted. So, if somebody tells you that this doesn’t make a difference, having somebody competent who cares about you.. it does matter and at some point, it will make a difference to them

[Patrick Gaspard @patrickgaspard]

This man is running for President. And saying stuff like this. And the race is neck and neck.

And I have to hear all this nonsense about how Kamala has a messaging problem.

Tens of millions of people are voting for THIS. The problem ain’t Kamala or her messaging.

Today we join Canada in observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The path to healing is a long one, but it will start with our country's collective understanding, education, and support. Together, we can build a more just future for all.
