One of my coping mechanisms during this time is to find accounts of people who woke up and saw the light, and remember that it is possible for humans to shake their hate and delusions.

Charlie Angus’s latest article details beautifully the relationship between Canada and the Netherlands and why my Oma & Opa chose to immigrate here. These are the lessons they made sure to teach us. 🇨🇦🇳🇱 These 2 countries are family.

Spotify removed Tate’s podcast 👏 Please remember that next time you scroll past a petition and don’t bother to sign it because you don’t think it’ll matter. It does.

My takeaway from watching this : the denial + delay is what will hurt us most. Act quickly.

Imagine if this was all common knowledge? Jeffrey Sachs confirms here what many have long suspected about the US. I’d be so curious to hear his advice for Canada.

The speech is the first 53 minutes. The Q&A after is also illuminating. Highly recommend watching.

I really appreciate the way he responded. This makes absolute sense to me.
We can’t control what President Trump will do next. We have to focus on what we can control — building the Canadian economy.

I love witnessing the rise in patriotism also lead to the rise in folks requesting for Rick Mercer to come out of retirement #cdnpoli #rickmercer

We need to quit the rhetoric that “the Conservatives are definitely going to win”. It’s inaccurate.

For folks who are “not into politics”, I have a cinematic reframe for you on what’s happening right now :

It’s a heist.

The most lucrative heist in all of history, happening in broad daylight and being broadcast.

This is precisely why watching Canadian media + politicians entertain blatant nonsense like appointing a “Fentanyl Czar” is deeply, deeply disturbing.
