I'm Canadian and have a friend in Canada who is unemployed, mentally ill to the point of collecting disability and lives with his mother who is mentall ill and physically disabled. They both rely on extensive government support programs like disability payments, mental health care access, pharmaceutical benefits, and our healthcare system.

This friend of mine wants to vote for our right wing conservative party who will strip most if not all of these supports away from him and his family. I just don't understand how someone can vote against themselves like this, he's gobbled up the propaganda. My heart goes out to all who will suffer under the new American government.
