As I read of the growing movement of dictators worldwide, I wonder if we, the democracies that remain, can muster the strength to stop them. Strength of character seems to be a dying trait.

Here are my initial thoughts on the 2025 election - what it means for Canada in the short term and what it means for the movement of social democracy in the long. substack.com/home/post/p-...

We could have done better, Canada ( #NI-PR what happened to my progressives?! Is it because Lib Lash divided the vote and allowed #DropTheGunn to sweep in? Embarrassed and disappointed). But at least #PP isn't PM and even lost his own seat. It's going to be a long 4 years, still #ElbowsUp!

Literally fuck yourself @DonaldTrump. Make the right choice Canada!

Please show up in #Comox today if you can. #voteTanille #VoteNDP #elbowsup #DroptheGunn

Advance polls open at 9am today. I'll be stopping by the Merville Community Hall after work to vote for #TanilleJohnston and hope to eventually hear that the people of North Island - Powell River have kicked Aaron Gunn to the curb. #NDP #DropTheGunn #CanadiansAgainstPierrePoilievre

What does it say when a candidate asks your Chamber to move an All Candidates Meeting to suit his schedule and then does bother showing up? #droptheGunn #votendp #comoxvalley

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber #HarvardUniversity. The stance all universities should take.

"Meet them where they're at". Apparently they're not in a freakin' English class because that grammar hurts me to my very soul.

There has to be at least one woman in your life. And if you care about that woman, you can't vote Conservative. #canpoli #never51

I just signed a petition started by a North Island community member, calling on Pierre Poilievre to remove Aaron Gunn as a candidate in the federal election. Will you join me here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pi... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pi...

Thrifty's needs to check their AI images before they post them. What kind of hellish turkey/lobster abomination is this?!

The next phase of the Charlie Angus Resistance Tour is underway. Looking forward to getting back to Vancouver Island and Edmonton. We are rising up the voices and bringing our nation together to fight tyranny. #elbowsup

Comox Valley, I'm seeing too many Aaron Gunn signs out there. Read and think. He is NOT the right choice! www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Not available to vote on April 28? Check here for info on advance polls, voting at Elections Canada offices, and mail-in ballots. Whatever works, JUST VOTE!

We're all clear that the US is now the enemy, right? We need to stop tiptoeing around them and strike back hard. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

Liking the light at 6:30pm but I sure missed it at 6:30am. PST. DST. Can we just pick one and stick with it already?

Fuck America right now. Fuck Trump. Fuck Vance. Fuck Johnson. Those shitty white men on my screen are so dangerous so I can't even laugh at their bullshit. #ProtestAndSurviveAmerica #FuckTrump #IDon'tWantToDoThisShitAgain

15 years of the highest, bounciest, ears and the sweetest seal eyes. Eddie Psgetti, you were one of a kind.

At what fucking point do Americans in the right position a initiate a coup? Serious question. Nobody wants armed conflict but this government needs to be overthrown before it's too late.
