    Were they 5 years old or recently immigrated or something? Maybe it’s because of proximity but I’m pretty sure even in Canada everyone has heard about it!

        Yep. I’ve seen folks avoid politics like I avoid football. They excuse themselves when someone starts talking about it, they change the channel if something about it comes on, and they just don’t go to places on the internet where it’s discussed.

        I wasn’t ever that bad, but I used to not go out of my way to look at politics and it was pretty easy to avoid. I was much happier as well. But it’s important so I wade through it.
