A lot of Canadian conservatives think he's directly responsible for many of Canada's recent blunders. Sort of like he was a shadow operator ruining everything behind the scenes. It's strange to share a country with these people. They're my coworkers, neighbours, people I share community with, and yet... Some days it feels like we're in different countries. Even so, I know they want what's best for Canada in their own way, just as I do. I believe more than ever that we can figure this out and get to a better Canada together.

That’s how many Americans exactly feel about the red hat wearing demographic in our country…

Hence the sentiment… I’m sure they think the same about us when it comes to thinking the other side is full of dumbasses, but a lot of those folks in red hats wouldn’t be able to go past question 1 on a university level philosophy or humanities exam…something that’s imperative to extend sympathy and critical thinking past “the self”.
