Currently planning a year-long cross Canada tour to show up at protesters’ homes, honk continuously for 48 hours, block their driveway and ask them for food when I’m hungry.

It feels like Canada is splintering into two tribes - the intolerant, authoritarian woke lunatics on the left and the spittle-flecked, hateful lunatics on the far-right. Where are the voices of compassion and common-sense? The silent majority needs to speak up.
