Keep in mind that anger, dismissiveness and frustration are all trademarks of the terminally online. Don't define people that disagree with you based on replies in an online forum.

Election results are in and I couldn't be happier. My riding squeaked in a liberal flip, Poilievre lost his seat and we have a Liberal minority that won't have unchecked power.

On substance, no one really won last night's Canadian English debate; however, Carney wins by having everyone else cast him as the main character of this story.
