      Canada and other countries need to start accepting refugees from the USA. Particularly, for now, those facing political persecution, those being persecuted for abortion-related matters, and transgender people. Soon that might need to expand to other LGBTQ+ people if the fascists ramp up their persecution.

        We have an excellent opportunity to increase knowledge in Canada.

          Yes, I hope the Canadian federal and provincial governments recognize this. And I hope we don’t get a Conservative federal government, because Conservatives tend to be bad at understanding the notion of investing in society for the benefit of all. In fact, they’re hostile to it.
