Every time I’m reminded that Jamaicans can access LESS THAN 1% of their coastline, I feel the rage. If you visit Jamaica PLEASE choose ethical options.

Hachiko, my Russian tortoise went into self-hibernation for the first time ever in October just before we experienced a stretch of severe weather. I realised I’d just have to spend the winter worrying and hoping he’s ok. Well look who decided to make an appearance this morning! PHEWF!!

7% is at least enough for parliamentary representation. I know a lot of anti-fascists who have been having trouble deciding which way to vote. So this little boost could snowball.

I know this is going to sound bleak, but the concept of voting for positive change died with Jack Layton. The priority now is to protect what we have from further right wing destruction.

Do the right thing this time. The lack of a good and viable alternative is not a good reason to vote for the worst possible option. The only way to win in an Ontario election is to vote against Ford.

The essence of capitalism, its raison d'être, is not to build democracy, working people, the environment, or build homes for the homeless. Its goal is to convert nature into commodities & commodities into capital, to invest & accumulate, transmuting every part of the world for its own realization."
