"Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it's something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles."
Abbie Hoffman
So make sure to help people get out to the polls.
Arrange rides for the disabled and seniors, people without vehicles, search them out. They need to have their vote counted too.
"But Trump’s claim Canada can’t survive without the U.S. is utterly false. We’re the tenth largest economy in the world. (Ed. larger than Russian economy) We have 40 million people: workers, consumers, citizens."
"Indeed, in important ways, we are actually less reliant on foreign trade than commonly assumed."
"Almost 80 per cent of what we produce never crosses a border. Its produced in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians.'"
Jim Stanford.

🤔 Something to consider...
When Trump started the Tariff rhetoric, Trudeau started negotiating deals with the EU, Australia and other countries.
Trudeau started the ball rolling, PM Carney picked it up and is running with it, plus running for the election in April
I can't imagine Poilievre having the ability to walk and chew an apple at the same time.
Vote wisely, and please help others get out to vote.

Could we please take a moment to think about a subject no one likes?
The US is in a race war.
Conservatives, White Supremacists are controlling the country.
People are disappearing.
Canadian conservatives, the CPC are mimicking their US counterparts.
Do you get it now?
I don't want a White Canada and I am sure you feel the same.
Let's help everyone get to the polls.
Vote for a diverse country not a divided Canada
Imagine... Canadians don't want to fly to a place that threatens their national sovereignty, and their personal security.

Jessica Brösche, a German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary confinement without a pillow or a blanket, is still being held. She’s been detained for six weeks.
The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore.
Vote with your dollars (and your feet!) and go literally anywhere else.
This is especially applicable to my fellow Canadians. Don’t risk your freedom or support the economy of a country whose leader is threatening to annex us.
