    I’ve heard that y’all have your own far-right, MCGA bullshit to deal with. Do everything you can to stop it. Get involved with as many organizations as you can and get as many people involved as you can. “It’ll never happen here” is complete and utter bullshit. Good luck, Northern brethren.

      We’ve already lost that battle sadly. Alberta has Smith (think Marjorie Taylor Greene), the Cons, while refusing to admit climate change is real, and with a leader who spent his entire political career trying to repeal abortion rights/gay rights, have locked away the vote of men with 51%+.

      In 2022, 41% of Con voters supported Trump. In 2024, it’s increased to 44% (higher than Biden or Harris in both, though.)

      In addition, the Canadian Right-Wing’s favourite Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, heads up a global ‘get Right-Wing governments elected’ organization.

      So I wish you the best of luck as well, though I fear we are on similar Germany-in-the-1930’s path).

      Help the women and LGBT people in your life, they’re going to need it.
