Agent of campaign chaos. Don’t agonize, organize.

Why don’t we put solar panels over highways? Imagine the 400 series highways through Toronto were covered in solar panels? Less snow to move in the winter. They’ll absorb heat in the summer and provide clean energy.

The Longest Ballot is pure democratic organizing and it’s honestly embarrassing how much Poilievre is complaining about them

Unpopular Politico Opinion - but I think the

is brilliant organizing. They had 91 candidates and didn’t elect a spoof candidate and unseated the Leader of the Opposition who doesn’t support electoral reform (whose party ironically uses PR)

what’s happening on twitter right now shows just how important it was for left of center people to leave it earlier these assholes need a target, and deprived of their preferred options they are ripping each other to shreds

Running campaigns is basically a teaching job. People who excel on campaigns are those who are ready to learn, fail and try again. Perfect is the enemy of the good. Curiosity and creativity are the good.

Whenever I’m travelling internationally, I like to casually speak French any chance I get so other people know I’m Canadian and not American.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

THIS!! In 2022, I ran probably Ontario biggest campaign in a safe conservative riding and we nearly beat them by talking to voters day in and day out. Most people had never had someone knock on their door before.

I love working on campaigns but the one downfall is that once you start it is basically impossible to just sit down and get a whole day of quiet work done. What I wouldn’t give to turn off my phone for a whole day and just get all my random thoughts and plans in order!

We are likely going to spend the next several months talking about potential corruption in the CPC. If progressives can learn one lesson from the US election it’s this: You can’t just tell the story of the corruption but also how that corruption will make life worse and more $ for Canadians.

It’s really odd that Poilievre spent the fall trying to get an early election called before the Election Interference commission was able to get some clarity on this. Definitely about the carbon tax that’s been around for 6 years and not this.

I’m a little sad! Tomorrow was supposed to be my first day on the ground with my new campaign, but the snow has pushed it back a few days. Hopefully on the ground by Wednesday when we get our office!
