“Mark Carney’s win wasn’t a landslide. It was a scrape-by. A fear-based, lowest-common-denominator win made possible not because Canadians were energized, but because they were afraid.“

New Cabinet, Who Dis? Informed Bestie Insights on Mark Carney’s New Cabinet

New Cabinet, Who Dis?

“Carney’s cabinet likely won’t even have time to adjust their chair height, find the coffee machine, or figure out their office phone extension before an election is called—reportedly as soon as next week.”

BREAKING: In a landslide vote, Harvard Law student body passes divestment referendum, overcoming administration attempts to prevent and delegitimize the vote.

Harvard Law students overwhelmingly vote for Justice for Palestine and divestment from Netanyahu’s regime.

This is historic.

I’ve mentally been reframing the election results as Ford didn’t win a third majority term, he took a third majority.

Come discuss this virtually on Tuesday lu.ma/1f6qxnyq and let’s scheme for social good

Grace and accountability aren’t opposites—they’re tools we can use together to build the kind of collective power this work demands.

If we can’t create space for people to step in, make mistakes, and try again, we risk closing the door on the very people we need alongside us. And when people feel shut out or overwhelmed, that’s when apathy takes over—and that apathy only strengthens the systems we’re fighting against.

I believe in showing grace—not because it’s easy, but because it matters. Kindness (and to be clear, kindness is distinctly different from politeness )is an essential part of how we should show up for each other, but grace and kindness is also a critical strategy for coalition building on the left.

Expecting perfection from people on the left, while we’re all just trying to survive late-stage capitalism, isn’t just unfair—it’s a barrier to the kind of change we’re all working toward. So, how do we hold space for grace? How do we create room for growth without letting go of accountability?

Cancel culture has left everyday people afraid to try to be allies—worried about what happens if they get it wrong. But cancel culture should be about holding people in power accountable, not shutting down those who are genuinely trying their best to grow and unlearn.

Perfectionism on the left makes us complicit in the very systems we’re trying to tear down.

“Joining the Liberal Party is a strategic harm reduction move that could shape Canada’s future. Your vote = real power to push for leadership that can actually take on Poilievre. — And no, it doesn’t lock you into voting Liberal in the next election.” 🗳️

“The stakes couldn’t be higher: nearly a decade under Trudeau’s Liberals has primed Canada for the inevitable swing to a Conservative government.

But with Trudeau not running for elections we have a chance to
combat Pierre Poilievre and Maple MAGA”

👉🏾This is a numbers game. If you already understand what’s happening, make it your goal to have one uncomfortable but necessary conversation this holiday season—this is about preserving humanity and every generation must do its part.

’Tis the season to disrupt the status quo. 🎄🎅🏾
