I still find it hard to believe that the projections from 338canada (and others) will hold on the Island.

I realize electoral outcomes can and do shift over long periods, but I refuse to believe that, for example, people on the North Island and Powell River will elect this racist fool, Aaron Gunn. He has had that distinction for years because of his consistent denial of residential school genocide.

338 has the CPC a full 10 points above its 2021 outcome, and the NDP 13 below. It beggars belief. The Liberals are not viable here and I have more faith in the electorate than the numbers show.

WE REASONABLE PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE SURE THESE RACIST CANDIDATES DON’T SUCCEED.

VOTE!

Much of my #life I have been stomped on and belittled by those that lack the #sensoryawareness of the #experiences I have had in this life. If I #dare #speak about what I experience they #assume I am #crazy when in truth they fail to #see beyond their own #projections of #confusion and or #sensory #ignorance - Many allow this #abuse to #silence them and then #society at large loses greatly in its #abilities of greater #consciousness and the person being abused often suffers in silence
