Here's an idea for the American politicians trying to entice Canadians to spend our money in a land of gangster fascism:
Offer free burner phones so we won't be thrown in detention for our social media posts.

Don’t know who else needs to hear this but it would be good to have a strong showing of American Flags at the rallies on Saturday to combat the GOP talking points that it’s a “hate America” rally!!

Please repost and pass this on to as many as possible!!

For our #democracy, the book I read one year ago. Right now we are living inside of the hurricane 5 level disaster of disinformation. We must educate ourselves, be vigilant how to spot it, and speak out against it so can have #DemocracyInAction & #DemocracyNow and show that #DemocracyMatters.
