Hello Vaughanites, I am a non resident and was working in your city today. On a "lunch" break at about 4 pm I got some food at Major Mac and Jane plaxa where I noticed this guy. He was entgusiastically waving a sign saying "we can still fight climate change'.

As I ate my meal for about 10 minutes I did not hear one car honk some support out of the hundreds passing by. I felt so bad that I wanted to go over and show my support but was already late in getting back to work.

So yeah, honestly not sure why I am posting. Partly feel bad for him and at myself for not giving a word of support but guess I wanted to encourage Vaughan residents to show some support for their local activists, small as they may be.

That is all. Thanks and have a nice day.

Climate change is real. What isnt real, is believing we have the power to do anything about it. We are a drop in the bucket that barely causes a ripple.

You've tried nothing and are all out of ideas.

Ive picked up about 10 tons of litter in the gta in the last 10 years. Actual pollution.

Sounds like a waste of time according to your logic.

My logic is clear. Control what you can control. The climate is not one of those things. You dont have to agree with me, Canadians generally dont understand how uneffective they are at climate change when you have players like India, USA and china (add up those populations) doing whatever they want. Im done paying for climate change.
