The Catch-all: ICYMI November 2-8

Hello everyone. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. This week was a nightmare. As you almost certainly saw, Trump won the US election handily. I have a piece planned for this week that goes into the political implications of his second win for politics in general, as well as Canada specifically. I promised myself I wouldn't write a piece on it unless I could contribute something, and, in this instance, I feel like I can. Hopefully you can take something from it.

Anyway, on with the news.
