Upcoming U.S. election leaves students proud to be Canadian

The behaviour of the U.S. Presidential Candidates is making students proud to be Canadian.

Members of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity at the University of Windsor said they have not been following the election besides the occasional meme or reddit post. They also said they only caught parts of the debates which could be the reason they are turned off by the American election.

“The people running for president do not know how to have proper debates,” said Taylan Osei, a 19-year-old criminology student. “Anytime they brought up an issue the other person would just butt in, you never hear the main point.”

Osei said he believes that instead of each candidate proving they are qualified to be the president, they are too focused on “trying to prove that the other person is less worthy.”

“It’s basically just Trump saying stupid things. Basically that’s all I’ve seen and he says a lot of stupid things,” said Pi Lambda Phi member Simon Ardron. “I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that.”

Ardron has not watched any of the debates, but the mechanical engineering student said a big issue being focused on in this election is race.

Both of the fraternity members said regardless of how the election turns out they had one more thing to be thankful for this thanksgiving and that’s being proud of their country.
