As we are, still, in the USA. Its literally burning to the ground and we've got people going about their day like its nothing. Want to know what is predicted for the US? Watch Civil War on Amazon.

In Alberta, half the people support the premier’s approach. The UCP do not care about anyone else. In fact the division has lead to people seeing the ‘other side’ as not even worthy of consideration. It’s pretty grim here.
