This isn't even our final form.

We need to get out there and destroy Little trump jr (Pierre Poilievre's conservatives) and stop them from selling us out.

If any Canadians need a voting kit you can go to https://elections.ca/ and sign up for one there. Takes less than 15 minutes. (Deadline is April 22 but I'd suggest to get it done ASAP!)

All you need is a pic of your I.D. to confirm and they will mail you your kit. I got mine within a week and I already filled it out and it's on its way back.

Thank you Canadians, this is how a true friends reacts, they dont normalize bad behavior.

Mexico is on board reach out to them and just have a MC agreement! Work with the UN to prevent this from happening again, because clearly the USA can't be trusted

I think a lot comes down to the propaganda machines. Our conservatives pay millions of dollars to things like "Canada proud" to spread bullshit and divide us. We need to drag this crap out of the shadows and beat them down relentlessly in the light of day.

I don't know if we will win the fight, but we sure as fuck are NOT going to give up.

Canada's conservatives are completely off script currently focusing on cutting carbon taxes, defunding public broadcasting and increasing contribution limits to tax free savings accounts while an existential threat is looming. Almost as tone deaf as the Democrats in the US.

Conservatives are still leading slightly among men who seem to respond more positively to "anti-woke" rhetoric and sloganeering vs women who seem to have a strong preference for Liberals (and even NDP) at the moment.

I already signed up for mail-in voting. It was easy

Registered to vote from abroad. I cast my vote suuuuuuper slow, at the speed of international mail! Sent it away Monday morning.

This was my first time as well, and to be honest I think it's the way to go. I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

I went to elections.ca (If memory serves it was on a Thursday) filled out the form and submitted a pic of my I.D. and submitted it. By Tuesday it was in my mail, (could have been there on Monday but I didn't check) Filled it out, put it into the envelope and sign it, which then goes into another outer envelope, and mail it back. Done, Easy Peazy.

Now I don't have worry about getting to the polling station on time, or to wait in any lines, and don't have to worry about picking up any of the numerous viruses going around.

You can also do advance voting at any time at your nearest Elections Canada office! I voted last Saturday.

My polling place is like 100m outside my door, but it's really far from my nearest EC office.

So, Friday, because I'm lazy like that!

Great to see. Feel good as you do it, please.
