My story ❤️ 🐟

And... the lake in question
A northern Ontario lake. There is a blue sky with white clouds above a pale blue-grey lake with grass in foreground and dense trees in back.

The Emergency Response Rooms in Sudan is the kind of organization that *should* receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Absolutely fantastic work that should be a model for civil society and humanitarian work everywhere.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

There's nothing stopping him from registering, though. Then he could accept donations.

YVES ENGLER HASNT EVEN APPLIED TO RUN FOR NDP LEADERSHIP???????????

And he’s been accepting donations while implying he applied but hasn’t been approved yet???

Omg 🤦‍♀️

Article here: www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
TORONTO STAR article except reads: “"It has recently come to my attention that Mr. Yves Engler has been sharing with the media that he has not yet been approved ... to stand as an official leadership candidate. I would like to clarify that we are not in receipt of an application from Mr. Engler, and as such he has no current standing within the leadership contest," chief electoral officer Éric Hébert-Daly said.”
