    TL;DR - you should. We collectively need to reassess how we tackle this kind of behaviour.

    We have weird partitions for things. It’s sort of clear the division isn’t really state v. state or country v. country, it’s urban pockets versus rural spreads. You can make inferences regarding accesses to resources, education, meaningful work, etc. as you will.

    The political delta between Northern/Southern California, Eastern/Western Colorado+Washington, Upstate/Downstate New York, is FAR more significant than USA/Canada.

    Alberta would slot in easily into the US Southeast. Ontario would slot in easily into the US Northeast/Northwest.

    I worry for Canada (and the US, and many countries), because people are more or less the same everywhere (despite their grandest objections), and are quite susceptible to the same rhetoric and influential activity across the board.

      I think that’s what I’m most worried about. While the urban/rural divide is everywhere, the US just has so much more resources to dump into Canadian elections.
