Another day, another extremely high pollen count... Spring.
Gonna be a long day in the office and that's ok, I'll be busy, and I like that. Feeling a little tired today, what can we get into? Well, Trudeau and Freeland are trending, I wonder why? The amount of BOTS and TROLLS on Twitter (X) espousing outrageous lies about the new budget is staggering. Pierre Poilievre, the Reform party stalwarts that have taken over the former Progressive Conservative Party, aare lying so damn often about every damn thing that people are no longer believing their lies. The rumour about Conservative party buying bot farms and troll farms is just that, a rumour, however, the more I read, the more I am beginning to think... Where there's smoke, there's fire... There is no proof to the rumour, however, even I am questioning the veracity of the statement.

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, you have until April 22 to register to vote in the AB NDP Leadership race.
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.
