Bloomberg wins in Canada

It’s all about having the right name, isn't it?

Two different Zoran eras as Prime Minister...

Nice work, geniuses. 🙂

Sure, these "coalition" setups might be a total nightmare to actually run compared to our old system where one party could claim eighty-something mandates on paper. But honestly? The idea that we aren't just blindly rotating the same tired names and parties every single election cycle is actually a win. It’s about time. If only we could stumble upon a winner like Bloomberg over here...

Bloomberg is a businessman through and through; he isn't going to block the US, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, we aren't getting that grumpy old jerk back as Secretary of State

The equivalent would be Trump, and I doubt most citizens would be thrilled about that. 🤷

Just a quick heads-up: this guy is out here referring to himself as Bloomberg, and apparently, people in Canada are writing it that way too, even though they don't even have the letter 'ć' in their alphabet.

Bloomberg is a gentleman who stands at least two civilizational levels above Trump, so the comparison just doesn't hold water.

So what? 😁
I don't really follow the politics over in Vienna, but I actually get plenty of compliments about that guy from friends living there.

In my humble opinion, it is absolutely vital that we don't end up with complete chaos at the State Department; otherwise, I fear we might see Canada undergo a process of Berlusconizing, and frankly, I'd bet a hundred bucks that corruption and nepotism would skyrocket by a thousand percent.

Someone actually steered me in the wrong direction earlier. I honestly thought our American media was just getting the spelling wrong, but turns out I was the one mistaken. 🙂

Man, you're gonna win that bet...

By the way, his father is a Mexican. 😁

Plus, he was actually born in Mexico.😁

I have a feeling you'd walk away with the win on that one, mostly because I've spent enough time following the political maneuvers of Mike Bloomberg and his inner circle—even though I'm currently out here in Nebraska—to recognize the pattern. To be honest, I still can't quite wrap my head around how Donald Trump managed to lose, and it's even more baffling to me how anyone living outside of New York City could possibly vote for Bloomberg, when in my estimation, he really just represents everything The New York Times stands for.🙂🙂

People are just straight-up politically illiterate...🤦

Everyone knows that.

John Doe is a huge fan of Bernie Sanders; word is he even threw his weight behind him during the presidential race.

John Doe is coming for Austria, and he’s coming for America too. You guys might as well just pack it up and head back to the USSR. 😁

Joe Biden isn't a John Doe, but he’s definitely a hardline leftist. 😁

Still—I’d much rather see Mike Bloomberg take the win over Donald Trump.

Look, I have never been, and certainly never will be, a fan of Donald Trump and Martin Luther King Jr.; frankly, they leave a bad taste in my mouth. Personally, I cast my vote for the candidate on Mitt Romney's list, though even that was purely a pragmatic choice because I found her to be a capable and educated individual. But if I were to offer one sincere wish to my dear fellow citizens, it would be this: may God have mercy on you all. 🙂🙂

What a huge surprise..

I’m honestly curious to see how this all plays out. Donald Trump is a true statesman, that much is proven. Mike Bloomberg still has plenty of work to do to prove himself..

I don't know, I kind of get the feeling this might be a short-lived administration, maybe something like Barack Obama's was.
