obama: But the American instinct has never been to find isolation in opposite corners, Obama said, according to Brandon Sun. It is to find strength in our common creed, to forge unity from our great diversity, to maintain that strength and unity even when it is hard. Obama, in remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, noted that Veterans Day often comes on the heels of hard-fought campaigns that lay bare disagreements across our nation. He added that now that the election is over, as we search for ways to come together, to reconnect with one another and with the principles that are more enduring than transitory politics, some of our best examples are the men and women we salute on Veterans Day.

Viewing parties deflated early on Tuesday night, setting the mood for the next few days during which most conversations dwelled on the election results.

donald trump: But there something to be said and done about our own politics closer to home, according to Hamilton Spectator. U.S. voters, many of them faith-based, have taken a leap of faith with Donald Trump despite his bad faith, bald-faced lies. There nothing to be done about the American presidential election. But Torontonians are in no position to preach about the perils of following false messiahs. We elected Rob Ford in 2010 despite or perhaps in defiance of media coverage exposing how ill-suited his mayoral ambitions were undisciplined, intemperate, uncollegial, outrageous, egregious.

harper conservatives: We would love to pat ourselves on the back for defeating Harper Conservatives, but as others have pointed out, aside from the niqab-ban debate in last year election, the Liberals have not been much better, according to Rabble. Stephen Harper himself tweeted out a congratulations to Trump while pushing the Keystone XL pipeline that Obama killed. While the arguments against Canadian Exceptionalism or maple washing have been around for some time now, theyve mostly addressed a sort of Meanwhile-in-Canada liberal complacency shared by many of us. Ultimately, what we need to do is take a serious look at how conservative politics are having a moment in Canada and what that means moving forward.

business district: Food and beverage writers at Scout Magazine and Georgia Straight have similarly sung the praises of the Fraserhood, and its assortment of hipster caf s and delightful dining, according to Vancouver Courier. For the proprietors, rebuilding a business district along the blocks between 15th and 30th Avenue along Fraser Street we can reliably assume took some courage, and a lot of investment. Last year, my Vancouver Courier column described how the arrival of new small businesses were making Fraser Street soar, and attracting new customers. What everyone should appreciate, however, is the significant efforts of a handful of community members who are responsible for the area revitalization, and its subsequent impact on the high street.
