  1. All Americans should vote this time. I hope there is a better turnout in November. Only 58% went to the polls during the 2016 election. I don't want an American president who threatens "ruination" of Canada.

  3. A wonderful "get out the vote" event. It should be clear to everyone how important a vote is! How anyone can think the insanity we are living today is good for the country is beyond me.
