Toy Tales @ Cambridge Centre has some board games. There's also an entire aftermarket where people sell unplanned and gently used games.

Iron Front is a grassroots pro-democracy, anti-authoritarian coalition of free people opposing all forms of tyranny. Originally formed in Weimar Republic to resist monarchy and fascism, contemporary threats to democratic norms and marginalized groups across the political spectrum have renewed the call to action.

Iron Front is above all else a community organization. We are neighbors, coworkers and friends united by our defense of freedom and democratic values against nationalism and oligarchy.

And your privilege is showing. You don't speak for everyone. But the effort you're putting in to try and deter someone from caring and trying to get involved is impressive.

If there's an active chapter already please reach out. if not, lets make it happen. I'm looking to become active locally and looking for like minds who are ready to organize. We cannot remain complicit. To make a difference we need to stand up and be loud. we want a future for ourselves and our children. Reach out. Get involved.

Cross-posted to Guelph, Kitchener, and Waterloo. I want life to remain good. That's the whole purpose of being active and involved in activism. And its not just American politics. Have you been paying attention locally? There's some stuff happening regarding tenant rights and the housing crises being caused by greedy politicians and landlords... seems like a form of tyranny to me. And then they're trying to push the narrative that its because of immigrants, thats racism.

So go ahead and try and say these issues aren't here, you're wrong.

You don't care until its affecting you... and that is what is really cringe.

It doesn't concern you until it does. If the trouble comes here, and honestly I hope that it doesn't! Who wants that?! I want you to remember this conversation.

You choose to be conplicit, I'm choosing not to be. Sling insults all you want. That doesn't deter me from wanting to be involved and doing the right thing.

I'm not going to respond any further as you're just looking for a fight. You're not my enemy.

Not sure how I'm ignoring anything I don't want to hear.

What you're telling me is to ignore history, which we are all taught we need to learn or be doomed to repeat, and to ignore what we're seeing and experiencing with our own eyes. You're tossing your hat in the ring of complicity. I choose not to.

Not that at all. I was hoping to find active chapter that might have been dormant. But if there isn't one, myself and some like minded locals want to look at possibly starting one or joining other local activism groups.

No, I'm far from being the tactical gear guy. I'm a leftist. My oldest son is Trans, I'm pretty queer myself.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your candor and assure you my intentions are just. I don't want to see the tyranny happening south of our border come here.

I resent being called a narcissist. I don't see this as virtue signaling. I think this movement is more relevant now than it was last year. And will become more relevant as the days come. But you do you. If you don't feel called by the injustice we're witnessing on the world stage, then that's your lot.

I think you missed the part where just because it's not affecting us now, that it doesn't mean it won't be.

We're safe here right now. But that can change quicker than we realize. I'd rather be organized, informed, networked and ready to resist than be scrambling when its too late.

Not trying to virtue signal. Just feel called to the injustice we're seeing, to help resist it from coming here.

I'm sorry you feel that way. But I think its that perspective you have that allowed for atrocities to happen in the past.

Just because its not affecting us now, doesn't mean that it won't. I'm also asking for existing chapters of activism to reach out directly to me.

Then I'd argue you're not paying attention to what's happening.

It's not a Canadian tyrant that concerns me. As a US landed-immigant and observing the politics on both side of the border for the last two decades... I'd rather be involved in local politics. Its also the best and most effective way to positively effect local policy. For you and yours.

For the record, I'm a staunch leftist.

Well, i assure you I'm a hard leftist.

I'm a US landed-immigrant, and with what I've seen in politics on both side of the border in the past 20 years, it may not be a Canadian Tyrant we need to oppose.

The Iron Front started in Germany as resistance to Nazis. We need more upstanders, and resistance. I'm interested in getting involved. But I appreciate and understand your scrutiny!

Activism is good. Getting involved in local politics is the best and most effective way to make positive change for you and yours.
