Like many Americans, I couldn’t sleep last night.  It was a tense election with so many things at stake.  As a Canadian, my kids are used to me telling them that if the other candidate wins, we may have to move back to Canada. Not that I need to as I am living in the U.S. with a green card, but because the vision of the 2 candidates are so different. So the kids asked again before they went to bed last night, “do we have to move back to Canada?”
