  • Some fun facts for everyone:

    Advanced voting has finished, here are the final numbers.

    • over 1/4th of registered voters (1 million) have already voted!
    • the number of advance voters in 2024 is more than 50% of the number of total voters in 2017 and 2020
    • Oct 16 was the highest single day of advance voting, with over 222,000 votes cast
    • North Saanich and the islands had the highest advance voting percentage: 37.5% of registered voters cast a vote
    • North Coast-Haida Gwaii had the lowest advance voting turnout: 20.1% of registered voters cast a vote

    This is gonna be an election for the record books, it’s gonna be tight, and lots of people have already voted. Don’t miss out! Make your vote count! If you haven’t votes yet, make a plan, find a buddy, and go vote on October 18!














  • All the Neo-Malthusian BS in this thread, holy crap. The “overpopulation is the problem” has got to be one of the best ways for governments, corpos, and the rich to deflect attention from their failures and excesses. Hands down even better than the “personal carbon footprint” propaganda.

    • earth has a resource distribution/use efficiency issues right now; the rich are greedy and wasteful.

    • don’t want to have kids? Fine, don’t! Kids deserve parents that want them, and you deserve your autonomy to live your life as more than a means to an end for demographics.

    • if governments addressed the resource hoarding and waste, more people who want to have kids would have them because they would have enough to have a good quality of life and standard of living, and we would also have addressed things like climate change and dystopic corpo control.
