Are you voting strategically rather than following your conscience? Canada needs proportional representation. Please sign: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pr...

Make Canada's voting system fair and proportional!
Canadians are tired of our broken voting system. After Trudeau broke his promise of reforming our electoral system in 2015, apathy and cynicism towards our democracy has grown. If Canada is to weath...

🌊 #Invasive species are a pressing concern in the #GreatLakes region; the Grass carp being one. Prolific eaters, they're capable of devastating wetland environments and upending the commercial #fishing industry. Stay up to speed on what's being done to keep them out: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-gras... 🎣

I think the idea of self-care has become really warped, so I'm switching to making "maintenance and morale" bigger priorities in my life. Maintenance is eating right, sleep, hygiene, cleaning my apartment, doing all of my laundry. Morale is seeing friends, fun adventures, hobbies and takeout orders
