Went on FB to post some strategic voting advice and made the mistake of reading comments from people who are convinced that the CPC is the only way to save Canada. They seem seriously misinformed nor do they really seem to want to be informed. All they were was emotional and determined. 🫣

Please look up the strategic voting suggestions in your riding... and vote strategically. Given the issues down south, the impact of our election goes way beyond our border. youtube.com/shorts/n4RpD... votewell.ca #canada #canadianelections

Check for your local strategic vote: votewell.ca (For non-Canadians we have three center to left parties and only one right wing party. Dividing the left vote is an issue.) #canada #canadavote #canadaelection

My latest recipe was developed as a way to use up a lot of flavored yogurt. It ended up being a favorite because of how simple it is. Simply mix 5 ingredients together, bake, and eat! berriesandbarnacles.com/quick-flavor...

We have power. We have choice. Let go of big tech. Leave Meta. Leave Google (Ecosia.org is a non-profit alternative). Leave Amazon. WE HAVE POWER. Please take the time to watch this very important TED talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOo... #noAI #Broligarchy #copyright

Both of the strategic voting websites recommend opposite voting strategies for the Saanich / Gulf Islands. smartvoting.ca/ridings/fede... Recommends voting liberal. votewell.ca Recommends voting green. Meanwhile... how is the Conservative candidate in the lead? #saturnaisland #mayne #pender

Sometimes I want to live like Apollo... he is literally a walking plush toy and isn't afraid to ask for whatever it is he wants (food, cuddles, the warmest place on the bed). He is also blissfully unaware of the politics of mealtimes and the hierarchy of the toys.

Spending March break in France with my family. Every time we are asked where we are from there is a distinct change in expression when we say that we’re from Canada. It can be a bright smile or a sudden excitement to talk with us. The feeling is palpable. Everyone supports Canada.
