I'd add to this a "And what did you do to change it?". If you poured your heart and soul for your years into improving the options, and you just can't bring yourself to do it, I think that's different then cocking an ear every four years and saying "Ew".

Voting is harm reduction. We do not vote for perfection but for progress, step by step. If you have to pinch your nose while you do it, then do it. But "They all suck" is defeatist BS that only benefits the worst people in politics.

There are a couple of ways I think it's worth evaluating a federal government. First, how did they perform against their predecessors around making Canada a better place for all of us? Second, how did they perform against what's needed to make Canada a better place for all of us?

It’s long been suggested locally that JRR Tolkien’s tree-like warriors, the Ents, may have been inspired in part by this ancient oak at Cannock Chase, where he was based during the First World War. It’s extraordinary to see in person and well worth finding… @tolkiensociety.org @digitaltolkien.com

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

Here's a graphic explaining how the Big Lie was seeded and mobilized into the events of January 6, 2021 through a kind of "participatory disinformation" process. Trump's "war on drugs" refrain could catalyze a similar kind of participatory propaganda and mobilization cycle.
