Last night I took my daughter to watch the OCDSB vote on its Alternative Schools program. She attends and loves her school and is deeply invested in its future. She cheered the trustees trying to save it but, in the end, the vote was to cut the Schools, led partially by her trustee Suzanne Nash.

I hate to judge, but I believe this person thinks that they are extremely cool.
I also can not stress how hideous these vehicles are when you see them in person.

Here is a thread for people looking to understand the current Canadian federal election and the historic change that is happening
First, take a look at this polling graph and focus on the blue and red lines, noting that in Canada, blue is Conservative and red is Liberal - pretty much opposite of US
