I lived in the province for 53 years and I completely agree! Moved to BC 6 weeks ago.

"Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved."

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."

Jane Goodall was the best of us.

I don't like talking about the hate & abuse I received in politics. I don't need sympathy. But we do need change. And I promised to support women & girls who want to go into politics. So here is my story. We need to stop this. Now.

I completely agree. "I recognize my neighbour" is how I would choose to spell the words. Always a combination of British and American.

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims.

Canadian media struggles with this too.

Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host.

It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

You are certainly right about her being up for a laugh! Did you see her with Jay Onrait during the Vancouver Olympics coverage? I literally LOL every time I view this clip. The beginning of this video jumps a bit, but watch through to the end! www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2HL...

I'm glad that works for you. I could never survive averaging 6.5 hours of sleep.

Congratulations. If I recall, you were using the gummies to help you sleep. How are you managing to get enough sleep now?

Is Andrew Scheer trying to get me fucking killed???

Andrew Scheer, former conservative leader, posts my tweet with the caption: “Imagine how twisted she has to be that this is her first thought after a man was shot in the neck for expressing his views.
So much hate in her.”

I had posted:

“Terrified to think of how far-right fans of Kirk, aching for more violence, could very well turn this into an even more radicalizing moment
Will they now believe their fears have been proven right and feel they have a right to "retaliate," regardless of who actually was behind the initial shooting?”

“Premier Smith apparently doesn’t seem to realize that if you’re accusing a school board of “vicious compliance” for trying to come up with a list of books that need to be banned in response to your own sloppily worded Ministerial Order, you’re revealing your own incompetence for all to see.”

Thank you for all of your work! Please update the website with this info. That's where I and others have been looking to find a place to sign and it's missing almost all of these options.

Here are various locations across the province accepting signatures for our petition. Also note, there are permanent locations along with new pop-ups.
