@anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social @globalaffairs.canada.ca Can we please do more than just issue tut-tuts? Israel is a rogue state that is annexing Palestinian land and committing genocide against Palestinians. I get you didn’t like Maduro; Netanyahu is worse. Say it.

1. I hate to see good people wasting their time and energy. And there’s perhaps no greater waste of time and energy than seeking to change the trajectory of the human population. It’s not just futile, but also a massive distraction from things we CAN change. This thread seeks to explain why. 🧵1/12

Elections Canada runs our elections, an independent, permanent, nonpartisan body. ✅

We need a similar body, call it Election Rules Canada, to oversee democratic reform.

It’s #Friday folks!

Have the best #weekend you can.

You know the drill:

Be #kind
Be #gentle
Be #true
Be like #bees.

Unless your country is being stolen/destroyed by billionaire backed Nazis or your family are being exterminated by a genocidal bitch-ass criminal…then fuck nice and fight dirty!

Over 75% of the 115 leading crop species are dependent upon/benefit from animal pollination. Only 28 of these 115 crop species are wind & self-pollinated.
We need #bees #insects #birds #animals.
We need to realise this.
Fast.
