Anyone who is “against woke policies“ is telling me they are for misogyny, for racism, and for exclusionary unjust policies. It’s as simple as that.

I’ve been responding to posts with 🙄 bc sometimes there are no words to convey the feelings that would inspire an eyeroll so hard your eyeballs cramp in a permanent upward position of exasperation. Hourly. Is this a potential medical condition?

A good article and a good reminder not to underestimate a driven campaigner. But it’s true, tho’. Door knocking and getting out the vote makes a huge difference, especially in swing ridings. So if you want a Canada that is more than the sum of its parts, you know what to do.

A reminder of what is really at stake when voting for leaders. Which ones are fuelled by oil and gas industries? Which ones will incentivize renewables and green energy alternatives? Our future depends on voting wisely for our grandchildren and theirs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
