These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Israel killed 75 people today—human beings with names, stories, and families. Our people aren’t numbers. Our people are precious; their lives matter, and their deaths aren’t trivial footnotes deemed not newsworthy. Shame on the west for allowing this daily slaughter to continue.

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

Before the province allowed private American companies to take Canadian taxpayers’ money, lab services were provided in province. And the money stayed in Saskatchewan.

Weird how spending money locally makes a difference hey?
