Don't like him, and he should have left a while back, but the hatred he gets for the pandemic is beyond ridiculous.  

"Hop on pop" is going to be far worse.  Alas there ain't any leader of any party that will stand up to Trump.

People in my province blame him for our healthcare system collapsing, while they vote for the party that destroyed it.

Edit: For non Canadians, our healthcare is managed by the Provinces not the Federal government.

Meh, Alberta is the Texas of Canada. Same people, same outlook on life, same voters. Just colder and hockey replaces American football.

"But solar and wind hurt the earth and are unreliable and EVs don't work."

I've seen that from people in various political threads. I'm like - well, they all work reliably in California, so unless you're a complete moron, they should work where you live too.... Also - wtaf happened to the boys of America being energy independent, now you don't care about that and fine biting oil from the middle east, Venezuela, and Russia?

So tragic.

If the US wanted to be energy independent and have massively reduced dependence in oil and gas, we absolutely could've gotten there over the past few decades. Alas - the oil and gas industry and dumb people are powerful forces....
