Question regarding voting and haven't received ballot.

I'm a US citizen with permanent residency in Canada. I'm registered to vote in CA, specifically LA County. I sent in my form for my absentee ballot6 weeks ago to the registrar in Norwalk. Still haven't received my ballot. Is there anyone I should call??

G'mar chatima tova and an easy fast to those who will be fasting!

May we all be inscribed and sealed for a good year. And anyone fasting, may you have an easy and meaningful fast.

May our tiny crew here (and all over the earth) find the strength to deal with rising antisemitism and hopefully find strength in each other too!

5 more Attawapiskat youth attempt suicide, chief says

If we could all take a moment to stop talking about the good looks of our Prime Minister and demand he and parliament do something to help this community, that would be great. Something long lasting and truly helpful.

We have zero moral authority while we continue, as a nation, to ignore this.

140 suicide attempts over 2 weeks in Cross Lake MB

😥

This isn't right. This is shameful and we need to be putting more money towards mental health services. There can be no reconciliation as long as we ignore the issues facing First Nations communities.

The long days of winter are almost over. Kind of. Depends on where you live. But baseball coming sooner than later makes it feel like winter could end soon.
