Well, hel-looo, Kits ‘n’ Kubs!

Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something. Because #DemocracyIsSomethingYouDo...
Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman's links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer. And tell them you want them to do more to house the homeless.
If you live in Alberta, get involved in canvassing for the AB NDP Leadership race. If you are in Saskatchewan or New Brunswick, why not look into working at a polling station this coming election?
With the current strain on our health care professionals, do the right neighbourly thing to keep our hospitals unclogged: get your XBB, flu, pneumonia, and / or RSV shots , as well as meningitis B, COVID, and MMR boosters.
Finally, support your fellow Canadians by donating to the Red Cross Wildfire Response.
