ELECTIONS on TUESDAY With next week’s election, the entire world order is on the line. This is not the time to vote based on a single issue. The complexities of today’s world mean that no one candidate or party will address every concern perfectly, but thoughtful leadership is essential. Many of us are deeply concerned about the state of the world—both the challenges we face at home and global unrest. Now, more than ever, we need leaders who bring empathy, respect, and a true commitment to all communities. We must reject divisive policies, especially those that target or marginalize entire groups of people or disrespect entire nations. As a global citizen, I’m especially disheartened by rhetoric that dismisses countries with harmful slurs, as we’ve seen with Puerto Rico and others. Every country deserves respect and dignity; any administration should be rooted in these principles. Similarly, the situation in the Middle East is an issue that affects us all, and it’s crucial to have leadership that approaches it thoughtfully. To build a world based on empathy and accountability, we must choose leaders who reflect these values. For this reason, I believe the Democratic Party offers the best chance to address the issues we face and to push for positive, meaningful change. Let’s vote Democrat, hold our leaders accountable, and work toward a better future for all. No matter what make sure you vote on Tuesday!

New post: We’ve spent so long covering the provincial elections – the terms, the procedures, the obligations, the context and consequences. Even if you don’t love this stuff – even if you find it boring and confusing – take the time now to really understand how we’ve elected to govern our society. You owe it to your future self, your future society. And you owe it to our democracy, and to all of those who have died to sustain it. And if you’re still struggling to understand our complex system after our numerous videos? That’s fine! But don’t quit trying to understand.

Our key takeaways from the local and mayoral elections results so far: 1️⃣ The results we’re seeing today are a clear mandate for change from the local level – people have are feeling the long term impacts of nearly 15 years of austerity, they have noticed the services that are being withdrawn because of cuts to local funding and they are demanding better. 2️⃣ Where we're seeing gains for the greens and independents we can read this as a clear sign that, despite the usual low turnouts, people are far from apathetic: they are voting to get their voices heard. This is good news for local democracy, even if it is a thorn in the two main parties' sides. 3️⃣ And the few mayoral results we have so far remind us how important they are - and not just electorally: polling we released last week shows that twice as many people trust local politicians as national ones, but combined authorities are hamstrung by a behind-closed-doors system of deal making that bakes in Westminster’s prescription on what healthy economies look like – massively forestalling the opportunity to build on local strengths. https://t.co/wH1JLSTNNT 🔗
