Not that you need me to tell you who to vote for, but there's a lot of positive stuff to vote for this election. The Liberals have a genuinely fantastic housing plan - the best of any of the parties this time around. They're also committing to protecting human rights domestically, which is key right now.

Here in Vancouver East, our NDP MP, Jenny Kwan, is super responsive and extremely good on immigration and human rights issues. Very happy to vote to reelect her. Check what your MP stands for.

One last thought. There are politicians who want to make discrimination against people like me a political norm here. I just want to live my life quietly. That’s all anyone like me wants. The people whipping up hate against people like me hope to use public hatred against various groups for their own goals, and I hope you can all show you won’t believe it and won’t reward them for it.
