LOL! "Disruptophobia" sounds like a pathological degree of conservatism. Projecting much, David?

in case you don't know, the best way to find people with common interests is to follow hashtags about that interest. Some suggestions: #neurodivergent #queer #lgbtq #lgbtqia #disability #grief #ActuallyAutistic (used by autistics to talk about autism and to each other) #feditips might be good, too

Looking at a potential upside for his kids. I wouldn't bake him welcome muffins but I can't argue that he's not allowed to be in Canada (unless he's broken some law related to Canadian citizenship).

Very interesting! Of course, if he did get deported to Canada - maybe Grimes could get her kids back.

I think Trudeau and most of the Liberals know that replacing JT now will look like a desperate ploy for votes and it will not work. I'm sure JT's reasons for standing election are multiple but letting a new guy take the fall at election time - it would make me feel dirty. Run on what has been accomplished and what can be accomplished next and let the chips fall where they may.

Big Oil and conservative parties are natural allies - they both destroy things to extract wealth. Big Oil is destroying humanity's habitat. The latest iteration of conservatives destroy provincial services like education and healthcare and they destroy acceptance of diversity. What's happening in AB, SK, ON and NB are cautionary tales. Don't let it happen here, too, BC. #NeverVoteConservative #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ClimateEmergency

Four seats are currently within reach for the B.C. Greens - Victoria Beacon Hill, West Vancouver Sea to Sky, Saanich North and the Islands and Cowichan Valley! But it all depends on voter turnout. If you live in these ridings and want more B.C. Greens, your vote could make the difference. #bcpoli #BCElxn2024

No. I've only donated to Alberta NDP when I lived there and to the BC Greens since I moved to B.C. No volunteering.

No, I've never donated to the Liberals.

I was so disappointed this summer when I missed two phone calls from EKOS polling. I'm a big geek who would love to answer a political poll. 😂

2024-10-09 18:50:12

I am curious if the use of cell phones (particularly the way different demographics use them) has impacted pollsters abilities to conduct accurate polling. (Ie. Are the people who answer their cell phones a representative sample?) Do you have any thoughts on that?

my oldest child (who will be a first time voter) said that watching and listening to Sonia gave her some hope for the future. She was surprised to see a politician who seems to understand the roots of problems and cares about actually fixing them. Now, she is more enthusiastic about voting. I'm tearing up about how good it feels to see my kid have some hope. #bcpoli #BCElxn2024

Yes, we're definitely at an inflection point. Contemplating the future under the CPC (or the BC Cons, for me) is frankly terrifying.

Someone posted yesterday about how taking care of yourself is a radical anti-fascist action in our world. Breaks are A-Ok! I needed the reminder.

Gosh - MASH might be just what I need, right now. I feel like it probably has some good examples on how to survive moral injury during a disaster. I wonder if any of my streaming services carry it...

We can certainly agree to disagree. 😊 Tangentially, I testified in 2023 for a Law Society AB Hearing about feeling intimidated by the actions of a politician lawyer (Shandro). Although the report found that he did all the things listed in the citation, the LSA still gave a verdict of not guilty. One of the other citations involved going to someone's home to confront them - he was again found not guilty. The report makes interesting reading.

I did watch the video and I did not feel like Singh was threatening physical violence. He used his physical presence to defend himself. I do believe that these hecklers are harassing and bullying Singh, in part to make progressive Canadians feel fearful by proxy. While Singh has power in his political party, he has no real power over street bullies. The police may have come to his aid if things got physical but he certainly cannot rely on that as a Sikh and a person of colour.

I don't think that Singh standing up to a bully is an example of toxic masculinity. He didn't threaten the man, he challenged him to own his words. Bullies do not stop if you ignore them, sometimes they need to be reminded that words have consequences. In this case, the consequence was being embarrassed on the national stage. Also, Singh standing up for himself might get some men who need a "leader" to take a second look at the NDP.

It's certainly nerve-wracking to consider the CPC forming government. An election is scary for those of us who will suffer impacts on the rights of loved ones, if that happens. However, there might not be a better opportunity for the NDP to rise than now. Poilievre's popularity has started to dip (folks are clueing in to PP's fakery) and people are clueing in to corporate gouging. I'm scared but I can see the logic in NDP making a move, now.

Feeling proud of myself for writing an e-mail to one of my favourite medical conferences to ask for better access for clinicians like me who have energy-limiting conditions. Video recordings that can be viewed at my own pace will help me keep up my CME credits while I try to recover. #accessibility #LongCovid #disability #MedMastodon

We and our children are being denied of our rights to clean indoor air in hospitals and schools. Here's how we can achieve our right to clean air!

[EDIT: Incarcerated people are also being denied the right to clean air. We need clean air in all government facilities - including detention centres, jails and prisons. And in all buildings providing essential services.]
