Being Canadian, I was like that after your election and still have not watched any US newscast, only get news from here and Canadian news (which still has too much of Trump) and I have to turn it off. I did not realize how much it affected me until our own election was over and now I sleep all night and have gotten back into an exercise routine. I wish for all of you some kind of relief but I just don’t see it on the horizon. Just don’t stop fighting but take care of yourself first, if you can travel do, you are welcome in our country anytime.
