@PBruce @CdnDrsforMedicare I am kind of past the point of signing e-petitions. I think that they're mostly useless gestures unless in some way they are being used to actually mobilize people and get them into the streets.

I agree boots on the ground can't be replaced, as we recently saw in Ontario's use of the Not Withstanding Clause, Stand or be run over.
Petitions can not replace that, but anything that contributes to that, raises awareness, adds to the noise , builds unified action, I'm for, especially as petitions & actions are not mutually exclusive.

@PBruce @CdnDrsforMedicare With the education workers struggle, I didn't have to go to downtown Toronto to a rally. There was a loud and noisy rally of hundreds in my neighbourhood. That was how high the level of support was. We need to build on that sort of thing instead of retrenching into slacktivism.
