You know how folks say things have to get worse before they get better? Worse than what? Genocide? Starvation? Living outside? Deportations? Mass incarcerations? Widespread poverty? Authoritarian billionaire regimes? Persecuting dissent? We need better now. When's better coming?

Learning about a candidate in your riding on the news means that representation does not exist. Candiates should be people you know, who care, who show up, who have demonstrated this, & who you choose to represent you. Not backroom, corrupt picks by parties making choices for you

Snap elections undermine grassroot collectivizing. They remove the ability to make grounded, sound, community connected, informed decisions, to generate candidates that speak to those efforts, & intervene on the status quo big wealthy parties that pretend different but do same.

How did we get convinced that political parties & leaders that fundamentally rely on the same foundational neglect of those most in need (often with funded attacking), who cherish, & expand exploitation, ignore environment, & campaign on inequity, are different & competing?

"It is not a dead society that we want to revive. We leave that to those who go in for exoticism. Nor is it the present colonial society that we wish to prolong, the most putrid carrion that ever rotted under the sun. It is a new society that we must create" Aimé Césaire

The idea that one could spend decades in a job, provided for via tax dollars & never create one piece of policy & then run a campaign on "tax cuts" should be enough subterfuge to open a black hole. Yet, he is running adds with exactly that as a platform...for Prime Minister.

Your life should be more liveable. Affordable, workable, loveable, joyful, pleasureable, fulfilling, striving. That life is what we should be aiming for. Not criminalizing, punishing, hating, war-ing, taking, ruining.

Detentions & deportations are so expensive that they made up a fake cost recovery program to hide it that cannot actually get any monies back unless a deported person actually comes back to Canada & has the $3800-$12800(escorted removals) to pay. All for fake fearmongering racism.

Do good work, with good people, for better things. Take breaks. Take time to relax. Try to feel joy where you can. Laugh. Care. There is always more to do. We need many of us to do it.

Knowledge & education have always been dangers to racist, fascist, totalitarian regimes. In the times of their expansion & rule, even moreso. If you signed up for something else, you should probably think that over & do that instead. We have work to do.

People in positions of domination, across sectors, with the vast majority of wealth are still able to claim that the most marginalized groups are a threat, deserving of publicly funded persecution, & that knowledge of this is somehow a threat too. The fraudulence must be stopped.

We are in desperate need of leaders to step up who can offer more than adjustments to prior conservative policies like ODSP, or make false claims that "family Doctors" are the solution to our healthcare crisis, or that rebates make life affordable. Those platforms lack a broader vision for change.

This is a real Hamilton headline. The people in need of housing entirely removed from the discourse. Now its about tents & cops at any cost. An open death/eradication project.

No, you do not need to take incentives from developers to hand over public monies for their private profit & claim that your unaffordable units are some kind of solution to homelessness. No, you do not need to do that. It is not required. It is not necessary. That is a lie.
