    UPDATE: On January 20th, 2021, in his first day in office, Joe Biden signed an Executive Order that adopts the latest Supreme Court ruling's more expansive inclusion of LGBTQ rights under sex discrimination protections. This reverses Trump's orders.
    This was the eighth episode of our series on the 2020 election. Over 15,000 of you told us which issues mattered the most to you, and we made 9 episodes explaining what the election meant for those issues:

Canada chooses leaders who tend to have fairly progressive platforms - maybe not Scandinavian level progressive, but progressive relatively speaking nonetheless. I have never once heard a single Canadian in my life complain about having universal healthcare... It's just a matter of common sense and human decency.
      Racism exists in this country, just like in any other country, but even when it does exist, it's not blatantly overt. It's almost always low-key and inconspicuous. That doesn't justify it, but there's pretty much universal condemnation when a racist incident occurs - and you can bet there's no condoning from politicians or institutions. Having said that, some provinces are worse than others when it comes to this type of racism, and Quebec (with the exception of Montreal possibly) is usually perceived to be one of the worst offenders in that regard.
      All in all, we have our faults and bad people, but they're an OVERWHELMING minority. And we more or less trust our leaders to speak out against these behaviours and call them out swiftly and publicly.

    What we really need is for Congress to introduce and pass actual legislation that protects civil rights. That way, we don't have to continue to depend on the courts to expand the meaning of our laws through judicial review, and we don't have to risk those rights being taken away once the makeup of the court or the White House changes

      This goes back to the founding of the country in which the thirteen states saw themselves as thirteen independent states that were in a defensive alliance, not as a single nation. When that system resulted in economic and political chaos, a new constitution was drafted in the 1780s to create some harmony among the states by creating a federal government that could pass laws about certain areas of policy that would then be uniform across the states. However, law-making on all other areas of policy is reserved for the states. That's the constitution we use to this day.
