My mom had polio before there was a vaccine, and had a lifelong terror of iron lungs. She had post-polio syndrome and suffered the rest of her life. She made sure we had EVERY vaccine.

NDP were down almost exactly the percentage of votes that Liberals were up at one point. NDP folks (including me) voting Liberal to own the Tories. I'll take it. I don't normally vote strategically unless it's an election like this. NDP wasn't gonna do anything and there's a lot on the line.

I mean I'm no expert on Canada but to me it feels like this is their 2020. In 2020, the US was relieved but failed to get our shit together. Don't rest easy, Canada...get your shit together.
