Volunteer some time, even an hour is a big help. You can door knock, you can do phone-banking, you can help get out the vote on Monday, and you can be a scrutineer. Please take real, concrete, helpful action if you possibly can in the next few days. Canada and everyone in it depends on it.

If you can & have the time (I recognize that not everyone does), the most important & productive thing you can do in the next 4 days (inc voting if you haven't already) is to actually help your local Liberal candidate.

It was Paul Beverley, aka Macro Man, who created them – and over 1,000 others. He's a rock star, that's for sure. And so incredibly kind and generous. #amediting #macros #academicediting

Modern Language Association. There's an MLA style guide, which is often used for papers in the liberal arts and humanities.

(Yup, keeping track of all the acronyms can be mind-bending. 😄)
