No idea who Ted Cruz is, but I've heard of him.

I've never even heard of Tom Cotton.

I like Tom Cotton's name. Reminds me of Peter Cottontail. Some sort of velveteen rabbit.

Ask me more American politics questions. :P

Again I've never heard of them.

I'll go with Yang and hope he's related to Cristina Yang from Grey's Anatomy.

Um, based on synaesthesia colours I pick Gavin.

Ask me something about the electoral process. I might know.

No. It's similar to rep by pop, and similar to electoral districts -- but no.

I don't like that one person in one riding can swing an entire election based on their location.

leather makes me sweat and so does having to worry about health care impoverishing me even further than it already has.

choose one-
pay at the pump car insurance
or
pay monthly premiums for car insurance

I pay monthly.

There's pay-at-the-pump insurance? That's a joke, right?

I wish you could get access to our healthcare. :( I know you're stuggling.

(hugs)

Be in the Commonwealth or be in the EU?

there is such a thing in certain provinces, i read, though it may have been an experiment. in manitoba there was also an experiment with UBI. i do so wish working class amuuuricans could have for once, a good thing such as canadian-style universal health care, it would relieve so much worrying about lifetime financial ruin.

i'd rather be in the commonwealth.

choose one-
live in manitoba
or
live in newfoundland

I've never been to either one. My daughter went to NFLD and loved it. I'll go there to be by the sea.

Go to Prague or go to Singapore?

Be a cop or be a fire fighter?
