I recently spent time in the Banff/Jasper area. The weather didn’t super cooperate for the original reason I went (frozen lake bubbles) but still beautiful scenery. And a lot of time with no cell service. Which lead to wandering and thinking inside a snow globe.
I struggled with how do I put into words about the US situation because I have a lot of big feelings about it - rage, horror and a deep sadness.
Renee Goode and Alex Pretti were eliminated by their government. That anyone defends that and believes the outright lies that were told absolutely horrifies me.
Yes it’s not in “my” country. But there is a group here that would welcome the current American regime here and if we don’t start speaking up and voting it’s not inconceivable what’s happening there, will happen here.
And one day, in the history books I want it known that I oppose fascism. I oppose a government terrorizing its people.
Will this lose me followers - probably. Will I continue to get some angry messages - likely. But I can not and will not be silent and be complicit..
This is no longer Conservative vs Liberal, Right vs Left. This is about human lives and freedom.
We can disagree on religion, about how the government should budget, about pineapple on pizza (yes please - always!), are the mountains better than the prairies (nope I ♥️ my prairies!! But the mountains are pretty), about where to travel to and if ice cream as a meal is acceptable (absolutely).
If you agree that a government has the right to eliminate and terrorize their citizens, then boldly lie about it, then there is little to discuss because this isn’t an agree to disagree type of thing.
