It doesn’t, though

I wonder how a person could avoid such a terrible situation!

The last line is unfortunate, though:

Vancouver appears to be one of the few outliers in tonight’s B.C. civic elections, with voters in many other major and notable jurisdictions shifting away from left-wing/progressive candidates in favour of centrist, centre-right, and right-wing contenders.

Americans still love Canada even if they (rightfully) hate our country right now.
