I moved from Canada for her…
…and I’m staying for the same reason.
My plan for these soon-to-be interesting times is simple: carry on, watch my back (this year, two people in red caps have yelled at me to “go back to China” — wrong country, guys), speak truth to power and fight the good fight when needed (and oh wow, will it be needed), play the accordion, and follow the wisdom of Canadian poet Dennis Leigh:
“Work as if you live in the early days of a better nation”.

I’m sorry you had to deal with such racism. I fear things are only going to get worse before they get better. Stay safe down there Joey.
We still laugh about your “quantum spin” joke when fumbling with a USB cable. This election is like that. It’ll be a while to reverse the polarity.
Hi Joey, I often see you on Facebook, thank Eldon. As a Canadian expat, I can offer these thoughts. Just remember, “it is what it is, but it will be what you make it.” BTW, she is gorgeous. Read on! http://wp.me/p41ooi-LW
and best of luck.
I hope everything will be ok.
I think most Americans are awesome, caring people. Some issues people hold very closely, on both sides.
I worry that some of the people in the upcoming gov’t will try to suppress votes, change systems to make them worse for the people – when in fact, all Americans should benefit from their gov’t.
Please be safe. Please do well. For the sake of the entire planet.
Signum Fidei
Keep your eyes, heart and mind open. Let wisdom and empathy prevail.
