I think Trump’s post reveals something about his fantasy to be the emperor of Canada (or whatever). Namely, that he has pondered threatening Canadians with eliminating hockey in the event they didn't capitulate to his demands.

"Voting won't fix this" and "you should vote" are not mutually exclusive.
It's called due diligence.
Voting should not be your only strategy because you can only vote so hard and the politicians don't care. But you have a better case for more radical action if you DID try voting.
