start talking to your neighbours about policy.
i cannot tell you how many people all over the gta remembered me years later from knocking on their door for a candidate or cause.

While the news out of the US seems to be a daily barrage of carnival shows... We cannot forget that Canadians are facing many important elections in the next 2 years and we are far from immune from influence from race baiting, conspiracy ridden, xenophobia of the far right.

"We're in different times right now" might as well be code for ... "I didn't think the jackass would win, and now I'm scared about the future." You made your bed, Mr. Manchin.

Free transit actually is a thing, and you might be surprised where | CBC News
While public transit in many Canadian cities is struggling with rising fares and falling ridership, one Ontario community has more than doubled its transit use in the past two years. Orangeville has made its buses free, joining a list of much larger communities that have gone fare-free.

My heart and soul hurts this morning—not just for the U.S., but for the state of our world. Things across the world are dangerous, scary, and tense and Trump winning this election doesn’t help.
