Election Day: the view from outside the U.S.

Election Day: the view from outside the U.S.

I'm not American but globally I think we all feel we have a stake in this election and so many of us—both inside the United States and out—have watched with unease and disgust as Donald Trump has stoked the flames of hate and flaunted his ineptitude, ignorance and boorishness like they're things to be proud of. They're not.

I completely agree with Bill Maher that this election is a referendum on decency. I am very nervous today. I have no formal vote, but I am a big believer in decency.

C. K. Kelly Martin

likes to write things down and is a firm believer in the John Lennon quote, "If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal." She's written a middle grade sci-fi and multiple young adult books including I KNOW IT'S OVER, YESTERDAY, and DELICATE. Her most recent novel, released under the name Cara Martin, is a sci-fi centring around a young Canadian woman cryogenically frozen during a global pandemic and then reanimated to find herself and the rest of the world drastically changed, and Canada under threat.
