Has the pandemic affected your political views in any way? If so, how?

I guess if anything the pandemic has helped myself and my family affirm that we support government that supports the people, whether federally or provincially. Mistakes have been made and agreed that some folks have slipped through some cracks but compared to the U.S, I really have no complaints to make. Universal health care, fast tracking of COVID support payments and quickly closing the southern border really helped make a huge difference. Oh and taking this pandemic pretty seriously from the start helped too...seeing how some provincial governments dropped the ball (Alberta, looking at you here) has made it clear we need to continue to support good governance and helping each other. I know some people point fingers at my country and call us “Socialists” but damn, at least we try to care about each other and that’s been reflected in the much lower death rate versus some countries who consider themselves “Capitalists” first, in my opinion.
