I know there’s important shit going on, but I have to say something. One of my staff has been a repeat victim of “swatting” the past week. If you’re not familiar: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting 
She has teens and a very young child. This has terrified the little one, understandably. 1

There has developed a disgusting lack of empathy and connection to our fellow humans the last few years. And I blame the current “leaders” of America. Kids are growing up watching men in positions of power abuse, belittle, and demean others with wanton disregard for consequence 2

Our kids are watching grown ups behave like monsters, and receive not punishment, but praise. Donald Trump has so completely normalized bullying that we just accept it as inevitable. But it doesn’t have to be /3

To every decent American. Please. I’m begging you from the bottom of my maple flavoured hockey loving Canadian heart, please fix this. The world is watching, and elections have consequences. Please vote. Give us back the America we love to make fun of, but secretly admire /4

Give the world a reason to respect you again. I know it’s easy to roll over and accept that the bad guys are just too big. But there’s more of you than there are of them. We can’t vote but we can cheer you on. And we have a long history of having your back. You can fix this. end
