On April 28 Canadians will go to the polls AND on Oct. 17, 2026 Squamish residents will elect the next group of Squamish Council members. I’m encouraging everyone to get both these dates into your calendar with reminders ahead of each date. A dictator in the making is killing democracy south of us. Preserving democracy requires mass participation in elections. #democracy #vote #canadastrong #elbowsup

Hey #Canada
I live in a riding where traditionally a sack of spuds could get elected on the Con ticket.
My vote might not change the outcome but I will not squander it.

I will ensure that my vote sends a clear message to the world:
- I reject everything that right-wingers like Prem Smith, PP and 47 stand for
- I respect all people
- Canada remains a reliable ally and trading partner to all democracy-loving countries
- #CanadaStrong for ever

#IwillVote

If you are going to do more than talk, boost/repost, you need to start thinking about safety:

1: obfuscate your existing social media profiles - change your name, DOB and details over time. Decrease dependence on Meta/BlueSky/Reddit, etc.

2: get Tails OS, verify it and make a bootable USB.

3: get VeraCrypt (+VeraWipe), make a hidden encrypted volume on a new USB/SD and store some porn on the outer volume (bonus points if it will trigger fascists)

4. Always use Tor and Tails to browse and gather info / materials. (Make a 'BOK')

5. Using Tor, create a Proton Mail account and aliases. Use a separate service (Onion Mail) as a backup so that you can then make entirely new Mastodon/Lemmy accounts separate aliases for each.

6. Use extremely strong passphrases and a separate one for each account.

7. Look into meshtastic/lora devices in the 900mhz range for when/if internet and cellular comms go down.

Whelp - I hope this is "fake-news"...
