How about this for a goal, Canada.

Aim for voter turnout % somewhere near line of latitude 🇨🇦/🇺🇸 numbers so it at least appears we GAF.

Sloganeering 🤠
CBC provides enormous essential media services for Canadians.

Don't let sloganeering politicians take away our Country's national broadcaster! 🇨🇦

When do I talk to my single neighbour about his carbon footprint?

1. When his breakfast is delivered

2. When his dinner is delivered.

3. When he’s moving his truck so he can get his car out of the garage.

And buy and support weird art shows event and installations

Also, yesterday I saw a weird installation of garbage made into art. It was compelling and sad. I’m glad it was made.
This isn't due to anything specific, but I do want to say;

If you are telling artists or creatives to make weirder and more unmarketable art, it is in fact your obligation and duty at that point to promote/pass around/support those creatives when they *do* make that weirder art. Otherwise we can't!
