This is actually becoming a fairly large movement.

The whole FAFO trend is tied to Leftist people being fed up with having to constantly take the high road while their Rightist counterparts F around (ie. voting conservative without researching the impact) and then crying about it afterward when it directly impacts them.

I'd say that one of the most successful / popular content creators of FAFO is @OfficialDarkBrandon on YouTube because of his success in highlighting the concept through cartoon characters (Steve the Face-Eating Leopard).

Anyone know the tally of signatures yet? I want to sign, anything happening in the South of the city?

This one sentence made me feel old.

Just wanted to wish all of the volunteers the best and to thank them for getting involved in a pretty big project. In my opinion one of the biggest problems in this country(and province for that matter) is that many people have become to complacent and can’t be bothered to or don’t want to get involved in changing things or stopping things they don’t want to see changed.

Impossible to know. We have hundreds of events and thousands of canvassers working. Numbers won’t be known until they tell us to turn in our sheets.

I find looking at his bluesky app is probably one of the better ways to see what is around. I did notice that there is a pop up signing at the Copperfield community centre today (Aug 19) from 5 to 7

I hope interim totals are not released in case complaceny or discouragement sets in.

Agreed. Election candidates say they work as if they’re 100 votes behind. Keep the pressure on.

If you did not make it to the city hall booth, check out the local CPer who is offering petition signings close to downtown:

PM me for details.

I signed this afternoon in the Beltline courtesy of Smartcar, easy peasy -- send them PM if you're in the downtown / Beltline area and haven't signed yet!

Looks like the Forever Canadian group is arranging regular (semi-permanent) petition locations.

There are lots of permanent locations around the province. I set one up for every Saturday (not quite permanent) and am a canvasser at another.

Good luck! I hope you get a thousand signatures and then everyone goes for ice cream.

I’ve already signed but I’m tempted to come out just to see you are.
