Hillary up by 2.7 million votes now. American democracy.

I don't care what wrong-headed ideas Canadians have about our electoral system. We don't vote for the prime minister, period. Consideration or not, that isn't how our system works. In fact, the PM could step down as leader of the party and someone else takes their place....completely unelected, as was the case with Kim Campbell or Ernie Eaves (as Premier of Ontario). The only individual we elect are our parliamentarians and MLAs or MPPs.

Oh, right. I'm whining. Pointing out that Clinton got nearly 3 million more votes than Trump is whining. No. It's an inconvenient truth. Talking about votes concentrated in one area or another is also a moot point, since the we're talking about a national election for one role that everyone votes for. Comparing it to our elections is also irrelevant because there is no corollary in Canadian politics.

Can you imagine what would have been said if Trump made supporters wait 10+ hours for a concession speech?

Trudeau booed by young workers when he told them that precarious work is a fact of life now.

It's harming the economy, making growth more difficult. You can't say that people who went through university 20 years ago are experiencing the same things as people graduating today. Tuition has exploded. A summer job doesn't cover school. The housing market also exploded. Mortgage debt is even higher, relative to income than it was even 15 years ago. It's a different world.
