Yea, I don’t get why the poor supporting conservatives who would cut all the social support programs that the poor needs.

Start seeing this “both sides are the same” followed by “may as well just stay home” posts which ring like the cons bots/ trolls astro-turfing trying to swing the election for conservative. Happened in usa and now it’s happening here in Canada.

I’m not going to be one of those usa voters who decided to vote for Jill Stein because “Democrat is not perfect”. They (along with those who couldn’t even be bothered to vote) are partly to blame for the second trump regime. Canada sovereignty is at stake. Our way of life is at stake in this election. Until we got an electoral reform to replace “First Past the Post”, I am going to continue to vote strategically against conservative. pierre and conservative win will be a nightmare for Canada because they cannot be trusted to put Canada and Canadians over usa, billionaires and corporations’ profit.

NDP is dear and near to my heart but in this coming election, I’m voting for and donating to my local Liberal candidate.

I applied to volunteer with Ontario Corps and have gone through their online training modules. Basically it is also the same recommendation: have whatever supply you need in order for you, your family and pets to survive for 72 hours without help.

What Ontario Corps suggest to have in your emergency survival kit: Food (and can opener if required), water, medications and first aid kit, flash lights and batteries, candles and matches, radio, hand sanitizer, spare car key, garbage and ziplock bags (to keep things dry), whistle, cash.

More suggestions from Ontario Corps: Keep important papers (such as passports, marriage certificate, id, insurance, will etc) together so you can grab them quickly if you need to evacuate. Have a family emergency plan (what to do during emergency, contacts, where to meet when separated etc). All family members (including older children) should learn where and how to shut off utilities (gas, water, electricity etc) in your home.

Alberta and Saskatchewan are the sunniest provinces in Canada. If they embrace solar energy, they could be the Solar Capital of Canada.

But, think of those poor, poor big oil CEOs! /s

This is a good point. I do tend to get my vaccine shots (Covid and flu) on Fridays to account for recovery days.

Me too. So please everyone go out and vote on April 28 (or early poll if you wish). Go to Election Canada (https://www.elections.ca/home.aspx) and make sure that you are registered to vote at your current address.

If you have older relatives and friends (50+), do remind them that we have shingles vaccine: Shingrix.

My riding is a conservative stronghold, but I’m still going to vote for my local Liberal candidate. As soon as Election Canada received my local Liberal candidate’s nomination application, I’m planning to scrape together some funds and donate to them.

  1. The parents are equally shitty, and/or,
  2. By the time kids reach teenage years, they will mostly listen to social media than parents. They will live their lives on social media and thus, acceptance and opinions of social media “frens” matter more than their parents.
