I’m politically homeless. Like so many Americans, I am furious that the president cut $50 billion in subsidies to my exploding rocket and child murdering car business. Like other Americans who have 60 kids with 57 different mothers, all boys with hieroglyphics for names, I am being left behind.

It’s supposed to be Internet in a Box, a way to get an offline copy of many things including wikipedia, openstreetmaps, and others. The site seems to be at iiab.io , unsure if my recollection of the domain was incorrect.

Also look into iiab.org for that

Technically no, it's vote strategically for whatever candidate can prevent a conservative MP from being elected. In many cases this will be liberal, but in others it can mean NDP or Bloc.
