I read banned books (my library is mostly innocuous). Two likely to be - Kirkpatrick Sale's excellent history "SDS" and Mark Rudd "Underground". Fascinated by the American New Left successes and adventurism failures. "Tyranny of Structureless" groups come and go, lefties become liberals.

As of 9 MST the Libs have 168, NDP 7 seats - Liberal minority and agreement with the NDP, very productive outcome. Some final counts to come in and automatic recounts. I'm pleased that my MP was re-elected, please to see Carney returned as Prime Minister (he is a genuinely impressive person).

Voted. Elbows Up!

Temple rite today calls on Athena, goddess of good government, on the government of Canada we will elect tomorrow. Resistance to tyranny through multi-party democracy. "Athena, hear us! Pour from your abundant light, compassion, justice, righteousness Into the hearts and minds of our government.”

28.2 million potential voters, 7.3 million (more than a quarter) voted in the advance polls this past weekend. We will have a massive turnout for this election. Not surprising, considering what's at stake. Temple rite for NM Sunday reflecting on democracy and voting as an act of resistance.

Still doing online esbats for Edmonton Sacred Oak Temple - posted on Youtube and through our FB page. Anyone in Edmonton interested in getting face-to-face Temple stuff going again? Finished a Wicca Skills class series and thinking about doing another one soon. Reading interesting books. Vote NDP!
