Kamala Harris spins a tale of growing up in a working class neighborhood. So where is it, Scranton? No, that’s Biden. How about Levittown? Actually she spent her adolescence in Montreal, Canada and attended Westmount High School, an English speaking school in French speaking Quebec. Andrew Phillips in the Toronto Star wrote of his disappointment with Harris for omitting references to her years growing up in Canada (Toronto Star 9/10/24).
That wouldn’t fit her narrative and it might also create confusion with her debate “gotcha moment” when she claimed to be bussed to school. According to Phillips, her adolescence was spent in Canada in a school that was racially divided with little interaction between the two groups. Her mother was employed by Magill University and the parents rented a house in lower Westmount.
A campaign aide, Keisha Bottoms, told Jake Tapper on CNN, 9/20/24, that Harris is too busy for live interviews, yet she’s been MIA for the last five days with six weeks to Election Day. Perhaps she doesn’t want to continue being pressed on how she would bring down the high cost of living.
The hoax candidate can’t tell how she would address soaring prices without government mandated price controls. So she spins tales of her fond memories growing up a middle class kid with American values. What she also won’t tell you is those fond memories were made in Canada.

Ralph, I'm sure VP Kamala Harris' first 12 years living in the Midwest and West, she attended school. For sure, she likely rode school buses somewhere along those 12 years of attending school in the U.S. prior to moving to Canada with her mother.
Kamala's mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, didn't move to Canada until 1976, when Kamala was 12 years old. Shyamala Gopalan Harris took a job at the McGill University School of Medicine and the Jewish General Hospital in Canada.
I'd think having lived those formative years in the U.S., on up to the age of 12, would have a lasting impact. I can only recall snippets of the years I was in high school. It's those earlier years that to this day, stand out the most and had the greater impact.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, or versions of 'your' truths you're attempting to twist. Maybe your attempt is to sneak in a doubt? Another birther plot, maybe? The world knows how that latter turned out. Crashed, coded and flatlined.
