11. To be honest, I still find our politics to be re-assuredly boring...

and US politics, even having improved exponentially with the election of President Biden, still fascinating in it's propensity to stall any advancement due to the archaic use of the filibuster in the Senate.

I am not at all sure Prime Minister Trudeau will win at all as the Indigenous Peoples are very disappointed with the Liberal government given the lack of follow-through of their promises during the 2015 election and the pivotal role the Indigenous Peoples played in that election. The overwhelming number of them will not vote Conservative but some may well stay home as they did in 2019 which resulted in the current Minority government.

I will certainly be voting Liberal although, seeing as I live in Alberta, the wins in this Province by the Conservatives is a forgone conclusion.

Thanks for the respectful discussion on this issue, it is much appreciated.
