In Canada, leaders of major political parties generally resign as soon as they lose an election. For example, after the 2015 election (the Liberals won and the Conservatives lost), Stephen Harper resigned as leader of the Conservative Party. He was replaced by Rona Ambrose, an interim leader who was replaced by Andrew Scheer in 2016. Andrew Scheer resigned in 2020, shortly after losing the 2019 federal election, and was replaced by Erin O'Toole, who resigned in 2022, shortly after losing the 2021 federal election. Tom Mulcair, one of the most succesful leaders of the NDP party, also resigned after failing to win the 2015 election. To date, the NDP has failed to match the number of MPs that it elected in 2015.

Free-range parenting aims to raise children in a way that encourages them to function independently and with limited parental supervision, in accordance with their age of development and with a reasonable acceptance of realistic personal risks. It is seen as the opposite of helicopter parenting. Free-range parents often don't put their kids in a lot of extracurricular activities, encourage them to play outside without supervision, and generally take a hands-off approach to parenting.
