You may have heard of the Anthropocene, but that was yesterday. We are now living in the Scamthropocene.

It's pronounced Scam·thruh·puh·seen and it refers to the period during which scams have become the primary force of planetary transformation.

Credit me in your academic papers and think pieces.

I’d never heard of Pleb (as everyone here calls him) until I met him at the Penticton rally one week earlier. Even in a crowd of thousands he’s impossible to miss: a high-volume walking stream of cons...

I have no idea what this is about - but as a fan of ants I am very extremely curious.
To be clear - the unsafe products may or may not have ants. If a product has ants, you can still report the product. Would hate to be unclear about the ant thing. Report any unsafe product - ants or no ants.

I asked ChatGPT to design me a cover for an imaginary book titled "Dumb, Scared & Mean - Why We Elect Destructive Assholes." I did not specify who 'we" was and I did not mention what country.

If we give Doug Ford four more years, we’ll regret it long after he’s gone.

If you want real change, go and vote — because I promise you, if you sit this election out, we’ll all pay for it for years to come. #Opinion

We got some new polling data for Ontario.

A last minute squeeze is happening on Doug Ford and all pollsters have the Liberals within 10 points province wide.

That said, Liberals may not be the best choice in your riding. Check SmartVoting.ca later today for the updated numbers.

Hey ONTARIO! Be smart! Don't be dumb.
If we didn’t split the vote in Ontario. Doug Ford would be held to a very weak, 1 seat minority by our calculations.

Just Saying 👀

I sure picked a strange time to read Upton Sinclair's Lanny Budd series. With one eye on the news and another on the book it's like I'm seeing double. #reading #uptonsinclair Part soap opera, a dash of socialist pamphleteering, a history lesson, loads of fun - a warning.

We have been asked by many that we need to create some sort of flyer or sign to distribute. Since we don’t have enough time to get these out from our printer. We wanted to give you all the opportunity to do so.

You can download them all here.

Hey, Ontario be smart!
We have added (on mobile for now) a feature where you can toggle between the seat predictions and see what the results would be if we didn't split the vote.

Always an interesting thing to see to help prove the point that we can do better in Ontario.

More #writingprocess Revising my first pass. The beautiful grind towards completion. Had to redact the meeting notes I scrawled on the middle of my progress page.

If you live in Ontario you might want to vote strategically to get rid of Doug Ford. Of course if you are a wealthy developer who needs a third yacht please ignore this.
Doug Ford benefits from you being confused with your vote. He benefits and won a majority because of a vote split from his competitors.

Vote Smart. Vote Strategically
