Instead of chastising candidates for splitting the vote, how about we just end First Past the Post? #cdnpoli #Elxn44

A lot of people don't realize that the majority of our elections actually WASTES 50% of votes. If our goal is to create a more equitable, representative, and racially just democracy WE MUST DO BETTER. We must transform our electoral systems.

Keeping @JustinTrudeau from a majority government should be a priority. It's 2021 and no modern democracy should give 38% of voters 100% of the power. False majorities are a stain on democracy. #EndFirstPastThePost

This is still happening, and will continue to happen. Don’t let it fade out of the public consciousness. #everychildmatters #trc

Hey guys - I'm developing a hard sci-fi comic about giant robots... I'm going to be looking for a couple of artists to collaborate on it (with the intention of pitching it). If that sounds like it might be up your street then feel free to drop me a message.

Countries with proportional representation have higher voter turnout than countries with first-past-the-post. Want to increase voter participation? Support electoral reform! #cdnpoli thestar.com/opinion/star-col…

We can't always change the world, but we can change ourselves. Let's use 2018 to become the most outstanding version of ourselves and watch the world get better too. Wishing you all lots of joy, good company, and great health. #HappyNewYear!

When I began working in tech, I felt like I had to behave like the guys— more aggressive, less collaborative. It made me miserable. So I ran an experiment: instead of trying to fit in, I would try being myself. And suddenly, everything clicked into place. m-gat.es/2p1E1P7
