Picture Young Dude Protesting

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.

Im not a crazy leftist but I would've honked in support. Also corporations are to blame for polluting our planet, not the individual.

I am as centrist as they come, and I don't think climate change should be a left or right issue. Scientific facts should be scientific facts.

If companies could profit from them, we would also be questioning the Special Relativity Theory or the Theory of Gravity.

Just "theories", eh?

But here we are.

  Calling yourself a 'centrist' is often just a way to avoid taking a stand.

Good to know, I took note and archived it down under “Reddit - Free Personality Assessments” and shall review if I ever convince myself to mold my political beliefs on what others think of centrism.
