If you're in Coquitlam. Get out and vote today for Rosey Manhas, like I just did. So few people vote in civic elections and even fewer vote in by-elections. Your voting this one will count more than most.

Beyond crushing. Nature released a study a little while ago proving these policies increase suicide attempts among trans kids — and lawmakers pursue them anyways. Cruel beyond comprehension. I am so sorry this is happening.

This is a season for celebrating! Local small businesses are a great source of unique and homegrown food for parties. We had some treats from @soulbitefood - and even better, 50% of their profits go to support @foodlinksociety.ca, a non-profit that distributes fresh food hampers to those in need.

Elon Musk is promoting Conservative Pierre Poilievre and will ramp up the rage algorithms for the upcoming Canadian election. My FB feed is filling with political hate and AI disinformation. Parliament is shut as Canada sleepwalks into an election that will have unprecedented interference.

This exchange with Con MP Michelle Frerrari explains why I will never support them taking power to send women to back street abortionists. If the government falls, it must fall on a proper vote over a vision of the future of the country. I detest Poilievre's games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZFU...

Pierre Poilievre is leaning heavily into rage and disinformation. His interview with Jordan Peterson speaks volumes about where he will take the politics of our nation. I was once targeted by Jordan Peterson and the death threats I faced went off the charts. www.thestar.com/opinion/deat...
