PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT CANADIAN!! 

This election is MASSIVELY important for Canada, for EVERY person in this country (and those planning to come here from other countries!) who is not a white, cis, hetero, able-bodied middle-aged male. 

To every person who has ever reblogged an American politics post: PLEASE reblog Canadian politics for the next month! I know it’s boring and not aesthetic but this is a big deal. 

American politics AFFECT CANADA GREATLY! We have seen a massive rise in conservative, alt-right, and islamophobic movements and political parties since 2016. We have seen a rise in violence since 2016. Quebec implemented law 21, an islamophobic law which bans religious symbols for anyone working in public office. This includes public school teachers, meaning children are exposed to a system centered around white-supremacist ideologies. This is super fucking important!

I don’t beg for reblogs, but I cannot express enough how crucial it is for us to go out and vote next month. Please follow @allthecanadianpolitics​ if you’re Canadian and figure out who you are voting for, how you’re getting there, etc. Plan ahead and GO VOTE!!

HEY ARTISTS!

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

Artist reference! Writer reference!

Today, NDP Leader, Jagmeet Singh says he is committed to supporting a Green New Deal in Canada; such as that proposed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the USA. Wants to completely end subsidies to fossil fuel companies.

Also support for building affordable housing, supporting proportional representation, fixing unsafe drinking water on reserves, universal pharmacare and dental care, wants to make it easier to join a union, increasing Mental healthcare, and tackling student debt.

Sometimes I have plastic that can't be crocheted into a basket (too thick, too small etc) so I started fusing it all into one piece like cardstock. Don't know what I'm going to make out of it, it's to be decided later~

[squidhop]

Plastic crochet project update. Now includes: grocery bags, fruit bags, bread bags, Amazon packaging, and Costco toilet paper packaging.

[togetherwithmistakes]

I just need Jagmeet Singh to be the next Prime Minister of Canada okaaaay

He believes in

- universal healthcare including pharmacare which provides everyone with essential prescription medications, so everyone who has access to healthcare has access to the medications prescribed by doctors.

- He’s a proud propionate of LGBTQIA+ rights and calling to end the blood ban, and focusing on assessing LGBT+ youth homelessness.

- He also wants to decriminalize sex work and possession of all drugs, and argued that drug use should be dealt with as a medical issue.

- He fights for accountability in climate change, wants to reduce carbon emission levels, implement a zero emissions vehicle agenda, and add subsidies for companies that support renewable energy

- He’s called on his experience of racism in Canada, and is calling out to end racist practices by police like carding, and systematic racism in mandatory sentencing

- he wants to invest in affordable housing, raise the minimum wage, and tax the rich via creating new tax brackets, end tax deductions for highest income earners, and raising corportate tax

I probably didn’t even cover it all, but my goodness this makes me hopeful for Canada’s future

[coldlikedeath]

Blood ban?

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The ban that prevents some transgender people and gay people from donating blood.

Jagmeet Singh and the NDP want to get rid of it completely.

[squidhop]

AND changing the first-past-the-post voting system to proportional representation. I want the value of my vote to be equal to any other individual Canadian, not dependent on what riding I live in jfc

[allthecanadianpolitics]

acting like you have a 2 party system is how you get a 2 party system. didn't work out too well for us in the states, now did it? having social democrats as a real option is what keeps the other parties from slipping FAR to the right. if the ndp ends up dying out, your liberals will be center-right and your conservatives will be fascists. i'm american-trust me. we know.
