Disinformation campaigns will target information on how, when, or where to vote.
Get your information DIRECTLY from reliable sources. Make sure that you share that information with the people around you.
Make a plan to #vote, and help others around you -- family, friends, co-workers, neighbours -- to plan their vote. Know your local polling stations, know how to get there, know when polling stations are open early voting.

There's an election coming, and the purposeful, weaponized disinformation campaign from foreign governments has begun.
The #US #President has realized that his endorsement is radioactive -- and is engaging in reverse psychology as a result, endorsing #Carney instead of #Poilievre, hoping to prevent a #Liberal majority government.
The best way for you to fight against foreign interference is to #volunteer for your preferred local candidate.
The #American #Constitution is a three-legged chair - #Legislative, #Executive, & #Judiciary. The #POTUS & #GOP control the first two - the third was dismissed this weekend, apparently without consequence.
A federal court order was issued to halt the #deportation without due process, & it was ignored -- this morning it seems there will be no consequences.
#Hitler transformed government to create the #DrittesReich / Third Reich.
Learn more about #media #literacy -- knowing the landscape of the mass media, & being critical of what is said, or aware of what is left unsaid.
In #Canada, the majority of large news orgs are owned and/or controlled by right-leaning companies -- think 'Fox News' in print form. While individual #reporters may be dedicated to the craft, their #editorial staff are likely picked to be deferential to their owners politics.
That's why we should https://FundTheCBC.ca/
Almost as if on cue as the markets melt down, the #POTUS just threatened #Canada AGAIN this morning, insisting that the only way to escape the trade war is for us to relinquish our #Sovereignty and become a #state of the #USA.
Not happening.
Bullies often double-down on bullying before folding like a cheap lawn chair. It's time to contact your #municipal, #provincial, and #federal politicians to ask what they're doing to prepare and #resist continued acts of aggression.
With the increasing economic damage caused by the US Administration, the risk of a War of Distraction increases dramatically. There have already been dozens of overt threats to #Canada 's #Sovereignty, and actual fiscal assaults to its economy.
Now that the American financial markets are diving, a switch to diversionary foreign policy is all but inevitable.

It's time to get ready by practicing some of the #Resilience tactics mentioned here.
- suicidal thoughts. How is it that there is no information anywhere unless you search for it yourself? Why are we not taught about this in school? Poor treatment of the menopause can cause Alzheimer’s as well as heart problems. So why the silence? #menopause #health #beaware
That’s your choice. I have a Windows machine, Amazon Prime, my kids use Instagram. I also use a web browser. So some money goes into the pocket of Mark Andreeson.
I am not a purist. Some of my money goes into the pockets of rich people.
I could think of more examples, but I’ll say this one thing: this is a gift article so none of *YOUR* money will go to Jeff Bezos. Reading it will actually cost him the tiniest bit of money. #beaware
If you have the space, get ready to accommodate unexpected #guests. Clear out unwanted or unused items, make sure you have a working air mattress, extra sheets / blankets / pillows, and try to make the living area comfortable with access to a sink & toilet at a minimum.
As the inevitable crackdown on #disabled or #LGBTQ people happens in the USA, #Canada might experience an influx of #refugees.
Housing those fleeing oppression is an act of #Resistance.
A quick follow-up to the post above about how the #US #Administration replaced many people in the leadership of the different branches of the military with people loyal to the #President...
This news overshadowed the fact that there is also work in progress to replace the #military #lawyers in the Judge Advocate General's (#JAG) office. These are the people that determine the legality of orders. Without them, illegal orders may be approved. Possibly, orders to #invade.
It's starting to feel like I shouldn't need to drive home the fact that the US is pedal-to-the-metal into a #Fascist #Dictatorship, but here we are.
On Friday, the #US Administration replaced nearly all its military commanders with people loyal to the #President. This has two linked effects -- one is to control the military (that swears its oath to the #constitution, not the President) and the second is that loyalists will be instructed to use violence on citizens.
@laurajsmart @Resistance hey, I think I've found some like minded individuals. We need to help scale capacity for localized preparedness and the lost arts of civil defence. I have some ideas but can't do it alone. #preparedness #beaware #civildefence
Something I feel I should explain... Why do I keep making posts mentioning #German words?
Because this exact same pattern of behaviour has happened (relatively) recently. Everything the US is going through right now played out in Europe from 1930 to 1945.
I keep drawing parallels of what's happened in the past, to give you an idea of what's coming next.
After #Hitler controlled Germany, the threats to sovereign countries began.
The word of the day is #Gleichschaltung.
In German, it means #synchronization or #coordination.
It has come to mean the capitulation of organizations to, well... #Nazi ideals.
Right now, it's happening in the #USA.
Government organizations are giving people access to data and systems that have no legal authority to access it.
Newspapers are refusing to run ads critical of #Elon #Musk.
Companies are bowing complying in advance.
It's happening again.

#BeAware about #GallbladderCancer!
Did you know that gallbladder and bile duct cancers are rare but aggressive?
In 2025, the American Cancer Society estimates there will be about 12,610 new cases of gallbladder and bile duct cancers in the U.S.
Hispanic individuals are twice as likely to be diagnosed with gallbladder cancer compared to white individuals, and rates are also higher in Native American and Asian-Pacific Islander communities.
Symptoms include:+
"Embrace diversity.
Unite—
Or be divided,
robbed,
ruled,
killed
By those who see you as prey.
Embrace diversity
Or be destroyed."
