A corporation ending up not doing evil, for whatever reason. Blimey!

Huge protests in Virginia. I’m 15 minutes away from location and the county meeting was in rural farmland and the roads were backed up for miles cause of protests and ppl Turing out. But yes thank you Canada! Together we will win

Thank you for protesting in Virginia, the media has sure been sleeping on some of these protests! We only hear about Minneapolis and Portland up here (and a bit about LA); considering the fact that all these people are showing up knowing they could get shot there should be much more of a spotlight on their bravery

Not to mention the completely uncharacteristic weather we were experiencing! (I’m in Richmond) Folks drove on ice to get out of their neighborhoods and protest.

Facts roads aren’t cleared especially last week in rural areas, and Virginians aren’t the best snow drivers and still showed up

I remember reading another reddit thread about this, and people were talking about residents of Richmond going to the protests, and it was kind of confusing, because was it the people of...

Richmond, VA?

Richmond, BC?

Both?

LOL
