​Democracy 101 (A Refresher for Anyone Who Is Just Doing Their Best In This Capitalistic Hellscape)

​Let’s be real—most of us learned about democracy in grade 10, and it wasn’t exactly a generous, empowering, or engaging education. It was more like: Here’s how voting works. Here’s a flowchart of government branches. Good luck out there.

​But democracy isn’t just something you memorize—it’s something you participate in. And if we’re going to navigate this system (especially with a federal election coming up), we need real answers, not recycled high school social studies lectures.

​So here’s the deal:

​📌 We’re doing a refresher, but without the boring bullshit.
📌 You send us the democracy questions you actually have—the ones you’re too afraid to ask or never got a clear answer on.
📌 We break it down, answer your questions, and give you access to our behind-the-scenes resources.

​Things We’ll Cover (Depending on What You Ask!):

​✔️ How democracy actually works in Canada (not just the textbook version)
✔️ What this election means and how power really moves
✔️ Ways to engage beyond voting that actually make a difference
✔️ How to handle political conversations without losing your mind

​No jargon, no condescending takes—just real talk, practical answers, and a space to learn together.

​This is a community space, not a lecture—come as you are, bring your questions, and let’s figure this out together.
