Putting this account to sleep for a while.
After 12yrs in the Green Party, I'm taking some time.
Not related to the gross "freedom convoy" in Ottawa, nor the immoral invasion of Ukraine - in case you're wondering.

Using children as human shields is a common tactic among terrorists. The mobs disrupting Ottawa and our land border crossings are no different.

We need to work across jurisdictional lines and party lines to solve this crisis. It’s beyond disappointing that the Ford government has gone AWOL and refuses to participate. #onpoli

Many good people joined the occupation downtown didn't know the org'zers were out-n-out racists. But how could they? Life is busy.
We need a dedicated profession to investigate and "report" these things in a low cost, low tech way.

This is the sad reality of why social media and "fake news" is hurting us - as a society. We **had** the means to inform the public. But surrendered it to Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and such.

I put a fair amount of blame for the “freedom convoy” occupation at the feet of the Conservative party. When the disenfranchised are seeing their prospects fade even further - they will lash out. But because they’re disnfch’zd they fail their message. 1/
