Marjorie – I call bullshit. Your votes put us here, and you own it. Now that your daughter is affected, you’re suddenly concerned. Not good enough.

Great points!
One of my biggest problems is my temper.
I sometimes make posts that I regret later.
A recent one about the NDP comes to mind.
My apologies to my NDP friends and MP Don Davies.

Pause before reacting – Headlines and posts are designed to grab attention—read the full article or thread before forming an opinion.
Check the source – Is it reputable? Does it cite evidence? Be wary of sensationalism and anonymous accounts.
Diversify your feed – Follow a range of outlets and voices to get a fuller picture.
Fact-check before sharing – Misinformation spreads fast—be part of the solution.
