Dear Editor

There’s an important election coming up this week. It’s not a Canadian election, but it will affect us all. There seems to be a decent chance that the midterm elections will replace the laggard House of Representatives with a new crew, prepared to uphold the House’s duty as one of three counterbalancing bodies, to hold the Turnip administration accountable to the people. 

The U.S. Congress is supposed to control the budget, and in times of extreme strife, declare war. The House, under the non-leadership of Mike Johnson, has abrogated its responsibility, and let Turnip’s band of incompetent rogues have their way,  with masked thugs kidnapping and murdering on the streets, and starting an unnecessary and unconscionable war of distraction. They’ve allowed the gutting of regulatory agencies, ruination of the U.S.’s reputation with trading partners and allies, and quite disturbingly, protected the abusive pedophilia of the President and several of his advisers. 

Since I’ve lived in Canada for three quarters of my life, I vote where I live, and wish the best for other jurisdictions. I have four brothers and their families and most of my childhood and high school friends still living in the U.S. This election will impact us all, not only in Canada, but most of the rest of the world. Wish us all good fortune.
