Seems like a good time to step aside from @Twitter.

After 11 years and with the engagement and encouragement of 11K+ followers, I have made my contribution.

With best wishes, good luck and #farewell to all!

Ashamed of the province of #Alberta #abpoli #HealthCare

Excellent question:

“Why would any self-respecting graduate pursue their healthcare vocation in a province led by an anti-science Premier?” #alberta #cdnpoli

Is your city ready to deal with the impact of ClimateRefugees? Climate-related migration is on the rise in North America as extreme weather prompts people to move. #ClimateMigration #ClimateCatastrophe https://t.co/udcbuuvIs0

Great photo essay on @SpeakerPelosi, who credits having raised 5 kids before entering politics with teaching her everything she needed to know about how to be effective in her role. #NancyPelosi

The world’s #democracies ask if America can fix itself. Conversations across continents reveal alarm over the direction of the U.S., as it seems to slide away from ideals, it once pressed other nations to adopt. #democracy #MidtermElections #cdnpoli https://t.co/bJdafASUDi

Good job America! In praise of not burning down a #democracy. Thanks @Phil_Elliot. #MidtermElections2022 #uspoli https://t.co/SxmdEp0a3k

The age of #SocialMedia is ending. Perhaps it should never have begun. The possible downfall of @Facebook and ⁦@Twitter⁩ (and others) is an opportunity – not to shift to some equivalent platform, but to embrace their ruination. #SocialNetworks https://t.co/grNudajsy5

In his #concession speech, the Democrat Senate candidate in Ohio, @TimRyan, graciously explained how #democracy works, exercising the "privilege to concede." #MidtermElections2022 #uspoli

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Tim Ryan: "I have the privilege to concede this race to JD Vance, bc the way this country operates is that when you lose an election you concede. You respect the will of the people. We can't have a system where if you win it's a legitimate election & if you lose someone stole it"

An apt description of #media coverage of the #MidtermElections2022 — and the sad state of American politics. #uspoli https://t.co/121HEl6QXa

For our American friends today — in need of election support pets. Good luck! #Midterms2022 Thanks ⁦@OffTheMarkComic⁩

[Balance the Power @BalancePowerNow]

This is devastating...women’s representation at #COP27 is practically nonexistent.

Women bear the brunt of #ClimateChange disasters. It is hugely irresponsible to convene talks without more of us present.

Who will win the U.S. #MidtermElections battle for #Congress tomorrow? Four scenarios from ⁦@Nate_Cohn⁩: 1. The clear #Republican win; 2. The feels-like-a-win for #Democrats; 3. The Republican landslide; 4. A Democratic surprise. #uspoli #midterms https://t.co/BCivF3V1Cx

Cesspool or civility? Elon Musk's ⁦@Twitter⁩ at a crossroads. Users and advertisers sit tight as billionaire cleans house and take #SocialMedia platform in a new direction. #Twitter #ElonMusk https://t.co/thYbXEXH7S

[David Mitchell @dmitchellYOW]

Why #facts don’t change our mind. New discoveries about the human mind show the limitations of reason. Nevertheless, on Tuesday, #ElectionDay, we wish our American friends: open, mindedness, accurate, information, and intellectual integrity. #Midterms https://t.co/PWMKm6HDHW

Will the end of #DaylightSavingsTime coincide with the end of #democracy in the United States? #MidtermElections #uspoli https://t.co/2Hm8ckIx5Y
