    As someone watching from the US (and who has looked at possibly immigrating emigrating there) that’s what I noticed too. It seemed like the split wasn’t too far from Trump’s current approval rating. Luckily Canada doesn’t have to deal with the disaster that is the electoral college. This result however does make me really concerned about Canada’s next big election.

      My hope is that the CPC* splits and/or reforms into a more moderate and respectable party, so that at least it won’t be fucking armageddon in the event that they win a future election. But if I know conservatives worldwide, they won’t learn shit.

      (Edit: CPC, not UCP)

      Sorry for pedantry but I only mention it in case you’re serious about the move you might end up using the words a lot - in this case you might like the word “emigrate” to describe what you’ll be doing as from your current position you would be describing the action from the “leaving” perspective more than the arriving.

        You’re good mate. I actually thought what I wrote seemed wrong when I did it, but I was needing to do something and fired it off without double checking. Thanks.

          Awesome, good luck if you do move! I’m an American living abroad (China) and it’s always interesting. Cheers.
