Your father is a weird man. Obsessed with politics of a country that he's not a part of, in support of a man who wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire. And now he's going out of his way to reach a "news network" (airquotes doing some heavy lifting on that one) that only spews a facist agenda.

Now, in contrast, I would say 100% of Americans have NO IDEA who's even running for president in Canada, or Mexico. Like......those thoughts are so far from what my brain thinks of, it's insane. Last night I was wondering which would happen first: A snail traverses an entire city, or a gallon of water evaporates in mild tempatures.

THAT thought crossed my mind long before thinking of Canadian politics. Sorry Canada, you're a great country, and I wish I lived there instead of here, but your money is monopoly colored, and your politics are irrelevant on the world stage.

Yeah. I hate that the GoP virus has infected our country

Our politics are somewhat relevant though, namely as we're between you guys and Russia

100%? That’s insulting, lol. Some Americans are informed about international politics, just not most.
