As a Canadian, 🇨🇦Watching With Pride and Concern
As a Canadian, I just want to say how incredibly proud I am to witness people across the United States standing up, speaking out, and showing up in the face of so much fear and uncertainty. From state to state, city to city — the courage, the creativity, the solidarity — it’s deeply moving.
But I’m also scared. I see the abuse. I see the intimidation, the threats, the manipulation of laws meant to protect twisted into tools of oppression. I see the fear in people’s eyes — but I also see the fire.
You’re standing up for truth, for democracy, for each other. You’re pushing back against cruelty with compassion, against corruption with clarity. And even though I’m across the border, I feel it. Many of us do. We’re watching. We care.
Your bravery reminds us all of what’s at stake and what’s worth fighting for. Please stay safe. Keep documenting. Keep organizing. Keep resisting. The world is watching, and many of us are with you — heart, mind, and soul.
With love and solidarity,
