Husband, Father and Grandfather. Hoping for the best for those coming behind us. Fingers crossed
What good is the constitution when it can be so easily perverted or ignored by bad actors? Currently worthless.
In Canada, we have our Charter of Rights and Freedoms that has a notwithstanding clause which makes it equally worthless.
We’ve been taken for fools.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Has America just rolled over? With a very few exceptions, it seems as if the fight against fascism is lost. This is unbelievable. All the promise and security afforded by the checks and balances of what was supposed to be the shining example of a stable
democracy, has been so easily shattered.

Justin Trudeau has been the most important and effective person in Canada for a generation. I’m so thankful he was at the helm for Trump 1, COVID and now Trump 2.
I shudder to imagine if the soulless cons were running things. It was time for him to step away but I’ll be forever grateful.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what living in a post democracy era will be like. I think weaponized social media has frayed our societal bonds irreparably and I’m trying to imagine what that means for daily life down here at street level. Mostly I worry about my grandkids world.

This is my week 12 lineup. I’ve had a very poor start but this team should be my core for the next few weeks🤞

What is so united about the USA? It’s hard to imagine any place more divided and isolated from each other. Just call yourselves America. But in the face of this developing catastrophe, the 50 independent kingdoms might just protect millions from what’s coming.

By the way, would really like to see the Liberal party of Canada hire Rachel Bitecofer as a consultant before it’s too late. Politics is not what it was and we’d better understand what that means

I’m new here and already really enjoying the feel. Lots of familiar people and threads to follow and finding lots of new things. I’m on my way to leaving compromised twitter but hanging in for now.
