- Reposted by Rob MMen are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
- Reposted by Rob MNever forget, we were manipulated into hating carbon pricing here in Canada.
- It’s exhausting to hear reporters lazily referencing the “unpopular carbon tax” while giving up on informing us that the reason it’s “unpopular” is the successful conservative misinformation campaign ignoring that it’s better than price neutral for people & is a bare minimum tool for climate action.

- Reposted by Rob MWith CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.
- Y'know, a whole bunch of NDP supporters just voted Lib to stop vote splitting and take out Cons. Libs did not reciprocate, which cost the NDP 13 seats and official party status. Pretty unseemly to be planning to bribe away the few seats they have left. Maybe Libs just work with the NDP?
- Reposted by Rob M“Israeli leaders openly bragged they dragged out the war, playing for time until Donald Trump’s return.” I’m reminded of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s term for Biden: “Placeholder President.”

- Reposted by Rob MLast night NDP voters saved Canada from the surging hard right, but had to sacrifice our own party in the process. Today the battle begins for a system where we don't have to do that any more. We badly need a party that can save Canada from the oligarchs who brought us all to the brink.
- Reposted by Rob MImportant to note that the “strategic vote” in this riding was the NDP but Liberals don’t vote strategically- they just expect everyone else to do so when it benefits them.
- Reposted by Rob MGenuinely worried how the right in Canada takes this. I hope they pivot back to the middle, but would guess they keep going the way they're going. And the fringe right? I expect pure lunacy.

- As an NDP supporter who voted strategically for the Lib candidate for the sake of avoiding vote splitting, I'm frankly disgusted by how few Lib supporters could bring themselves to do the same for the good of the country.

- Reposted by Rob MIf everyone lived like we do in Canada or the U.S., we’d need 5 planets to support us all. Australians & Koreans would each require more than 4 Earths. We are depleting nature’s ability to support life about 70% faster than it is able to regenerate. That's why I think every day should be Earth Day!
- Reposted by Rob MCome on, Carleton. It’s time to put Poilievre out to pasture. Vote for the a local contractor, not the guy who did the catering for the convoy.
- It’s Election Day! Go vote for a strong leader who will stand up to Trump. Go vote to stop Poilievre’s American-style politics. Go vote to stand up for Canada. ✔️ Polls are open until 9:30PM ✔️ Bring ID ✔️ Check your polling station at elections.ca #CanadaStrong
