Charles Gao - candidat d'arrondissement Plateau Mont Royal

Wow - teachers should follow in AC flight attendants's example and ignore her!!

I think the choice is clear this election

A great article on the rise of urban biking:

“Surveys show rates of cycling are higher in countries where cyclists feel safest. And there are few things that make riders safer than lanes that separate them from cars... allowing cities to reduce traffic and save money...”

I envision a world where the abundance our civilizations and the earth have provided are fairly distributed and *everyone* gets to thrive, not just an arbitrary few. And I’m starting here, in Montreal.

No clue what I’m doing, but I know what I believe in, and unfettered neoliberalism, racism, and colonialism ain’t it.

That's why I'm running for conseiller d'arrondissement dans de Lorimier. Et je suis fier de le faire avec @transitionmontreal.bsky.social

Je ne sais pas comment cela s'est produit... mais je sais que nous avons pratiquement remis les clés de la maison aux personnes les plus puissantes et les plus riches afin qu'elles puissent gagner ENCORE PLUS. Elles n'en ont jamais assez.

Enough is enough.

It’s now too much to bear, and I realize the mistake we’ve all made, is that by embracing consumerism, we lost our sense of civic duty: being active participants in democracy and society.

J'ai toujours suivi l'actualité mondiale et m'intéressé aux inégalités qui affligent la société, mais je n'ai jamais vraiment fait grand-chose pour lutter contre ces inégalités. I was a classic case of a western-based slacktivist.

I have no followers but here goes:

I never imagined I'd be doing this… but neither did I imagine I’d be living in a time of literal fascism.

Enough is enough.

Alors, je me present comme conseiller d'arrondissement dans de Lorimier. Et je suis fier de le faire avec Transition Montréal.

I teach a class called "Politics of the Internet," and one thing I end up talking about is internet adages. The list I cover:

Godwin's Law
Poe's Law
The Streisand Effect
Don't feed the trolls
The Rule of Goats

Any big ones I missed? Things along those lines I should add?
