West Coast writer, author, artist, dogmom, and beach bum 🇨🇦 she/we. Wild swimmer. I make stuff with words and other bits. Living by the Salish Sea on the traditional ancestral territory of the Snuneymuxw, Snaw-naw-as, and Stzuminus people. A kind of heaven.

So I am an NDP supporter. I am sorry to sacrifice the NDP for the fed election, but it is just toooo important after watching the shitshow in the USA .
So, NO STRATEGIC VOTING THAT SPLITS THE LEFT.
Let's give Carney his mandate with a solid MAJORITY!!

Clay Thompson - Pierre Poilievre went to Canada's North, made promises about the North, without talking to the leaders of the North.
