I’m not sure if this will be controversial but I’m pretty sure not a single multimillionaire superstar who lined up to publicly endorse Harris is going to be negatively affected personally by last night’s result. Their wealth is their shield. Other vulnerable people will.
Trump is about to crush the Western Canadian oil and gas industry by massively increasing USA's production and cratering the price of oil and gas. And then hitting agricultural exports to the US like potash, canola seed, wheat, and canola oil with tariffs.
We better get our shit together real fast.
Democracy is clarity. As a student of human behavior, I believe it reflects the will of the people. The race is not over but the blame game has begun. I will not let the pundits scapegoat Black voters. I will not let you scapegoat Arab American voters. Not even the shift of Latino voters. Donald Trump was supported by White men, White women, non college educated and college educated. Suburban White women and rural White women by a majority. It’s clear that my neighbors, coworkers, and friends have no problem with a convicted felon, convicted rapist, racist, and misogynist leading their government. They share his values. People show you who they are.
Sad to see Albertans & rich business folks trying to meddle with our Regina municipal elections #Regina
Obviously vote as you feel will best represent us— but I will say, if they’re the choice of millionaires & out of prov folks, they’re not my pick & don’t have #yqr at heart
How to vote like a radical. You’re not co-signing on the person you vote for. You’re choosing the opponent you’re best suited to fight.

Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. https://t.co/30LQbg26Q2
Canada is on track to miss its climate goals b/c of AB & SK intransigence. Blaming the Liberals seems ill targeted when what's going on is a mega-majority of voters on the prairies are saying, "We'd rather burn the planet, thx, & there isn't a fucking thing you can do about it."
If there’s some justice out there this election season, it’s that the MLA who said a racial slur offensive to black folks (and was kept as a candidate) was sent packing after mail-in ballots were counted. #skpoli
It really fucking sucks to watch any sports event as a trans person right now because of the Trump commercials, and I just need everyone to know that: yes, we do see the ads, and it's demoralizing to know this entire subset of people sees us as subhuman.
I’m just a woman in Saskatchewan, asking the good people of our province to not vote for the party that is pro-funding systemic child abuse with our tax dollars. #legacyofabuse
Journalism, Educacioun, Research, Libraryes, Museums, Storytellinge, The Arts: these are vital for the future and their benefits are immeasurable, literallye. Unquantifiable. Bottom-lyne, profit-focused, numbirs-onlye approaches to these matters of public goode erode democracy.
