What’s more chilling than Trump’s presidency? The fact that we use the same system that just handed him total control.

First-past-the-post fuels a hyper-partisan two-party system.

If we want to protect democracy in Canada, we need proportional representation.

What can we do about it besides donating?

Don't let your pessimism cause you to be complacent! That's exactly what the anti-PR team wants. I know it's hard, but imagine that you are doing it for someone you care about -- because government, and lack of good governance, affects all of us.

If you want, sometimes you can volunteer, and sometimes there will be fun get together just to meet other people.
Shop Canadian or ethically. I particularly like purchasing from B Corp Certified organizations: Ecosia Search Engine, Kindred Credit Union, Muskoka Coffee Roastery Co. This is a huge part in taking away power from those who only care about power.
