This election is not about Trump.
It is about standing up for Canada and defying the rage-baiters, conspiracy trolls and those who trash our nation to score points.
This election is about you Pierre Poilievre.
We reject your hate politics.
Canadians do your best. Don't accept the worst.

It's not the feel-good movie of the year, but worth watching if you're concerned at all that 72 per cent of the world population now lives under dictatorship. Streaming on Apple - seems ironic.

Just found out my polling station for the provincial election is at the local canoe club. It’s just across the river two blocks down the street I live on. I don’t have a canoe, but paddling across a river in order to vote would have to be the most Canadian thing ever.

It’s getting harder and harder for everyday people to make ends meet. And as things get more expensive, billionaires and massive corporations rake in record profits—and politicians like Pierre Poilievre are ready to let them keep exploiting us.

Here's a fact most Americans don't know:
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world.
The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits.
We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.
