I hope Trudeau's resignation doesn't push the Liberal Party to the right.
Regardless, the NDP needs a strong lefty platform to inspire people to vote. Lower voter turnout will benefit the right.

Every time I give a talk Palestine comes into the room with me in some capacity. And every time somebody approaches or messages to thank me. Every single time.
I can't imagine how lonely it must be to be Palestinian right now.

I actually appreciate this video BUT…
Canada backs US military imperialism & interference around the world, plays the “good guy” in accepting (not nearly enough) refugees & economic migrants, then focuses on them as factors in local economic hardships, deflecting from billion $$$$ corporate greed.

"Bluesky is an echochamber" have you considered some people are unworthy of attention? Some ideas unworthy of consideration?
