Proud Canadian, increasingly horrified by current politics. Worried about the planet and the future of democracy. Be kind, but don't put up with extremism. My desire to be well informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane. 🇨🇦TEAM CARNEY🇨🇦

Bright yellow political flyer featuring a vintage yellow rotary telephone on the right with its handset lifted and black coiled cord extending across the lower portion. On the left, large black text reads “Make the call.” Beneath it, smaller text reads “Ask the premier to cancel the referendum.” The flyer prominently displays “780-427-2251,” followed by “Premier’s Office” and “Toll free: 310-0000.” The clean, minimalist design uses black typography against a bright yellow background, with the telephone providing the main visual element.
