I'm off to bed. Thank you all for letting this Canadian in on your election. I feel for you all. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

So true. Trump kept saying that the world thought Obama was weak, such a lie. The world thinks highly of Barack Obama. Donald Trump on the other hand? Canadian, British and French media have been laughing at him for a year and a half. If you caught any CBC coverage tonight you saw how shocked they were that he actually won. It's unfathomable to us.

I swear to God, if it's acceptable for him to say, I mean, hey, it's not so bad, right? You should all start working it into everyday conversation. Cuz it's ok. It's presidential.

On my drive to the liquor store at 10:47 on a Tuesday evening, the local radio station said the most requested song of the evening is "It's The End of the World As We Know It" by REM. And we're in Canada. I am so, so, sorry for those of you who were on the side of 'Stronger Together' this evening.

This. Don't they know what they've done??? There goes any attempt at better, more accessible health care, a woman's right to choose, affordable education, and IIRC gay marriage will be gone too. So fucking stupid.

Where are you getting that information? I don't mean to rain on your parade, but that simply isn't true. It's difficult to get in here, it's common knowledge, it's on the news all the time because so many Americans threaten to move here. And you would have better luck if you were part of a commonwealth country.

I keep seeing this everywhere (as with every election) but I don't think people realize how difficult it is to immigrate to Canada. And right now we're very busy with the Syrian refugees that won't be welcome in the US....

Sadly, and I may take flak for this, but a lot of women don't support other women, especially ambitious women. I saw plenty of women around Hillary's age on the news today saying they voted for Trump because they just didn't like Hillary.

Amen. Try and tell people what a protest vote means and they just don't fucking want to hear it.

He promised the same thing to Michiganders about the auto industry. No plan, just promises.

Trudeaumania? Are you entirely serious??? This is a joke, right? I don't even know where to begin with this.... People voted Liberal because Stephen Harper and the Conservatives had been in power forever and people were very unhappy with the direction the country was taking. The NDP under Tom Mulcair's leadership was a joke, that alone left Liberal the only choice. And as you should know, Canadians don't actually vote specifically for Prime Minister, we vote for the MP in our riding. Anyway, I don't want to hijack the Hillary thread with this nonsense. We've lost our critical thinking skills, people can't seem to find responsible sources and repeat Facebook posts as news and facts. She's not a criminal. "I just don't like her", isn't a valid reason not to vote for her in an important election like this.

Canadian nervously watching this unfold from across the border. Obviously, our vote doesn't count, but we're most assuredly blue! :)

No need to use your small voice! I actually listened to the album version of Cranes in the Sky and it was much, much better. My problem with Solange is that she can't really sing well. I don't mean compared to her sister, I just mean in general. Her microphone wasn't turned down, she just has really weak vocals. All of her registers are weak, and she has a difficult time staying in key. Her background singers were great though.

I'm hardly the biggest Beyonce fan, but I felt like Solange was trying to be Beyonce lite and her voice was shockingly weak in all registers.

Thought the show was pretty good overall, the low point for me was Solange. I expected her to be able to sing...
