    Today is literally the anniversary of the Quebec mosque shooting, a day when we should all be thinking about how to stop Islamophobia & hate. Instead, you've got Confederate flags. You've got Swastikas. You've got politicians literally supporting this on Parliament Hill. Shame!

    "There are more delegates at COP26 associated with the fossil fuel industry than from any single country" I don't know about you, but I sure am not comfortable with having some of the world's biggest villains influencing & dictating the fate of the world.
