What do people in other countries think about Donald Trump?
CanadaWe’re concerned for our poor neighbours to the south, while simultaneously amazed at this unbelievable spectacle:UpdateI was astounded and dismayed, but not really surprised, when I read the Calgary Sun (a right-wing and very conservative news daily). They had published a poll taken of their readers to find out which presidential candidate people supported. The poll showed 48% support for Trump, 27% support for Hillary and 25% undecided.These sad numbers should not be surprising because this is an oil-producing province and Trump, a climate change denier, said that he would give his blessing to a huge pipeline project to send Alberta oil (most of it from our Athabasca “tar-sands”, a very polluting and expensive source) to the US Gulf Coast.A presidential endorsement of this “Keystone XL Pipeline” (Barack Obama already said, “No”) is something that Alberta oil barons would dearly love to see and so Trump is their man; environment and world peace be damned I suppose, as long as the oil companies keep making money. :^(Trump’s approval rating will be much lower and Hillary’s much higher in more liberal-minded parts of Canada, such as British Columbia and Ontario (maybe in Quebec, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia too). Saskatchewan and Manitoba, prairie-land in the middle of Canada, are a mystery to me.
What is down syndrome?
Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra whole chromosome, or part of a chromosome.People with Down Syndrome learn slower than the average human but they can still be smart. The way they speak may sound different than the way normal people do and their faces may not look normal in some cases. Tia, you just got your answer off the internet... ive seen that same paragraph when i was researching Down Syndrome about 3 months ago.
Are those common attitudes towards people with cognitive disabilities or autism?
I hope those attitudes are not common. I assume, correctly or incorrectly, that those who leave those kind of comments are people who are quite young and having fun saying mean things about issues they don't really know anything about. Unfortunately some of the people who are asking the questions are quite young too and take in the bad answers. If they are not young I think they are just showing that they are dumb and/or incredibly close minded. There are all kinds out here. Even some with disabilities who apparently think they are more disabled than everyone else. Oh please;)
