very convenient that trudeau calls an election while so many left-leaning students are away from their ridings and probably won't go through the hassle of voting this election

With the Canadian election coming up very soon (October) please remember to reblog Canadian election posts so other Canadians can access it! A lot of American’s use this site and don’t reblog Canadian political issues (Or outright ignoring them) and we really need to get information out this year, because this election could do one of three things for us: 

It could keep our current government, which has failed us badly (Not likely to happen) It could land us with a literal white supremacist (Likely.) It could give us a leader who would be the first poc and the first non-Xian to be elected to the office of prime minister, with a history of fighting for the people who will likely lead us very well (Possible, but not a guarantee)

Please help us get that third option (or at least avoid the middle one, because yes, Andrew Scheer is WORSE than Trump and I need y’all to really understand that)

CANADIANS

Go out and vote today!!!!!

I voted in the early voting.

Liberal and conservative ARE NOT your only two options!!!! NDP, green, and independent are also options!!!!! And good ones!!!!!!

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

also @taylorswift can you please notice people who vote in Canadian elections as well? Like I understand you’re American so you want to get people to vote in your elections and you can’t keep up with every election in the world but you made such an impact on American voters by just liking a picture or putting pictures on your story (very little effort for very big gain). Please consider noticing people who aren’t American who vote. Not only Americans need to vote.

Hey American followers!

I know you don’t tend to reblog any politics of countries other than your own... but the Canadian Federal Election is going to be this year in October!

In Canada we don’t replace 1/3 of the government every couple of years, we replace every single seat. EVERYONE has to run for a seat all at the same time, through the whole nation. Party that gets the most votes? Their leader usually becomes the Prime Minister.

We need your help (And you can help by reblogging this too!)

Not enough information on Canadian politics and issues is circulated on tumblr. Despite there being a lot of Canadians, somehow most of us can go a whole year without seeing a post about Canada, even when we make a point about following Canadians.

The US election will be ramping up in the early primaries when Canada’s entire election happens (We don’t campaign very long and we have a LOT of rules about campaigning too).

Trudeau has failed us. Entirely. He is doing nothing about climate change, he’s chummy with Trump, he violates land treaties, he pushes pipelines through unceeded territory, he’s having our native peoples arrested for protesting this, he has not investigated the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, he’s been a HUGE fan of The Glass Cliff while calling himself a feminist, he has repeatedly broken promises including electoral reform (our system is actually not great! Maybe not as rigged as yours, but it badly favours the Liberal and Conservative parties!), and been over-all pretty bad for us. It’s especially infuriating that we see all of this and also you guys reblogging photo-op pieces of him going on about how great he is for going to pride and being cute (That’s actually not an indicator here when only one party leader hasn’t gone in like, 20 years).

We need the NDP or the Greens this year. We need them to have a loud voice at the very least. We need your help to do this. We need you to blog this time, for once, about an election that isn’t american. Our politics affect you too. We affect you as much as you affect us, we are neighbours and unless y’all invade us again some time soon, it’s not likely to change. Help us get someone better into office. Please, reblog posts about the Canadian Election when they start appearing in September/October.

Americans Can And Should Reblog This Post Please.

Trudeau ain’t sorry he did black face. He’s sorry the public found out about it.

I’d like to order one federal government term in Canada with no scandals please

Alberta: Why is BC so against our oil? They’re just anti-Alberta!! :((((

BC, getting ready for the ‘worst fire year on record’, 12 year streak: Gee, I wonder why we might be against something that’s causing the climate to change.
