*Sight*.... I can't help but to be really disappointed at the tone of most of the comments on this article.

We look at the US having elected a populist, xenophobic, sexist clown feeling so smug - but quite frankly reading this comment section, one would think a Trump-like candidacy here would win in a landslide.

I get that some people are afraid. There are so many Canadians (Canada being such a vast country probably doesn't help) who have never left our shore, or then only to go to the US. All they hear and see are the news, sensationalized to the max to get attention. But the utter failure of so many to understand the magnitude of this tragedy is troubling. Like what if Quebec secedes and the whole thing slides and any French-accented dude gets labeled as a would-be terrorists? How would you feel if everyone would close their border to you and you'd be stuck with assault-riffled armed dead squad, gov bombing & french revolutionaries forcing to take up arms?
