I'm a genuinely happy person. Sometimes reality crushes my heart, but I always come back to my happy world. I will never let the miserable take over me.

Back after four months off and I see social media hasn't changed. The world hasn't changed. Politics hasn't changed. The right, or conservatives of all kinds, certainly haven't changed.

So I'm enjoying the Blue Jays playoff run after a remarkable season.

Been a while for me here and on social media in general...you see even liberal posts get me riled up...you know what I want? Peace and quiet...which is why I'm just enjoying our new cabinet led by Mark Carney. End the drama.

Don't trust that the Liberals have the elections locked in as the polls predict. Polls don't count; only votes do!

Go vote Carney! Go vote Liberal!

We're fighting to protect $10/day childcare in Canada. A vote for Poilievre risks taking us backwardβ€”leaving families scrambling for affordable childcare again. Don’t let progress slip away. Voteβ€”your family’s future depends on it.. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Here's a little optimism about the tightening polls: the National numbers are not as important as the regional numbers. If the Liberals maintain their regional advantage they win.

Progressives can't afford to sit this out.

The far-right is organized, loud, and determined to drag backward.

We must vote smart and vote in numbers.

Protect rights, defend democracy, and stop the far-right shift.

Every vote matters! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

If you read the #Liberal Party Platform you would have noticed one main thing, #MarkCarney plans on #Canada to be more self sufficient, to not depend on the US for our food, investments, manufacturing, auto workers, sovereignty, defence. #FederalElection #cdnpoli #Elxn45 #ViveLeCanada /1 (thread)

Unity is a dream. Polarization is here to stay because of social media and disinformation.

This race is getting way too close for comfort, why voters would pick Poilievre over Carney baffles me.

I'm glad election campaigns in Canada are short. Feels like America is always campaigning.

American political commentators are calling Prime Minister Mark Carney πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ "James Bond" for his unflinching leadership in organizing other countries in responding to Donald Trump's tariffs.
The PM has used his superior knowledge of economics to put negotiations on a solid path. #cdnpoli

Ok I'm a white hetero male myself, but Poilievre represents what I've always hated about white heterosexual men.

I will not be watching the Canadian debates simply because I can't stand Poilievre.
