Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

@human3500 @burnitdown @sbv @ottawa @dwazou I live in the suburbs and voted for McKenney. BP2 carried a lot of suburbs, but not overwhelmingly. McKenney didn't campaign much on suburban issues.

Looking back at the 2022 election page on Wikipedia, I do see that she was endorsed by Mark Carney. I wonder how that's going to work out between the MP for Nepean and BP2.

@johnefrancis @human3500 @sbv @ottawa @dwazou

there is something about her that i don't trust, and that endorsement isn't helping.

what is BP2?

@burnitdown @johnefrancis @sbv @ottawa @dwazou In that case you'll hate to learn their preferred pronouns.

@johnefrancis @burnitdown @sbv @ottawa @dwazou At least McKenney campaigned on real things. Not obvious lies like "fix transit", "i didn't take any developer donations", "Budget efficiencies" after eliminating those for the previous 15 years, etc.
