      Same. Did you pick your Canadian nickname? Mine, I likened “Gimme”. I knew a cool gal from White Rock with that. A local hockey goalie, when the Olympics came through her town they let her carry the torch for a mile (or km) or two. Jokingly the full name is Gimme AdownhillbikeandBtitishColumbia.
      They’re good people.

    It’s honestly not that bad outside the US. (For the developed world and even many places of emerging economies)

    Yeah there’s certainly more shit going on than usual, but it’s not exactly anything strange in consideration to the past 100 years.

    I think it helps waking up feeling “meh” and then seeing a news feed from the US and immediately appreciating life. If it weren’t for that, I’m sure we’d all be collectively complaining a lot harder rather than seeing it as just another cycle of “rough times”. It helps that most other nations work together. There’s division, but nothing like in the US.
