As a woman, a lesbian, a disabled person, and someone who thinks all humans deserve rights.. I am so relieved. I voted Liberal for the first time in my life, and was glad to do it - Carney makes me hopeful again for the first time in a long time.

Carney is a neoliberal banker. This guy has abused every tax loop hole in the book. He's still better than the fascist conservatives, but I won't be getting my hopes up.

If I could have voted NDP without tossing my vote away into the wind, I would have. Instead of being negative about it, get involved. Call, write, engage, and otherwise communicate with your elected officials, your community; we are lazy and complicit, and it's shameful.

Do you honestly think we can defeat growing world-wide fascism with some letters? Maybe if the letters are a guillotine I don't see a way forward.

I think we grumble now so we don't have to fight later. Fascism is the natural end to capitalism; without it, the rich can't become any richer. Make noise. Get involved. Smart people with compassion are what we need most now.

Sorry. I don't want to take this feeling of victory away from you. I'm just worried that we just elected more business as usual.
