Like it or not the people we elect to represent ourselves and our countries reflect on us. The majority of them didn't vote for him though. MOBomberFan 1
Bigblue204 Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 In terms of "look who they voted for" on both sides of the border, it's important to keep in mind that the majority of both populations didn't actually vote. Reasons behind that vary, but the point remains, most Americans didn't vote for their President (Current and past) same with Canadians. GCJenks 1

That is a whole different debate, but there are enough that still support him. It's not a few troubled people anymore. Americans are ultimately responsible for their leader.

Americans certainly noticed when that happened, but overall the American media were very enthusiastic about the Raptors. Two inaccurate statements... first, Chris Boucher is Canadain... Second... no one was cheering because the guy got hurt... they were just chirping him b/c it looked like he just slipped or tripped on his own feet... once the severity of the injury was realized, the crowd quickly quieted... (sorry for changing the subject for the 17th time in this thread but it bugs me that people think fans were genuinely cheering at the severity of that injury) shadybob 1

Tracker Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 It seems to me that there has been a lot more squabbling in this forum than usual lately and I have not enjoyed reading the postings as much as usual as a result.

Otherwise it's like going to a dance but not actually dancing, just sitting there watching other people dance. It's not fun. Get out of your seat and squabble!
