Small, funny, and still worth doing.

Line up toys holding tiny signs about an issue you care about and take a photo. Print it as a postcard, write a one-line ask on the back, and mail it to [Your MP's name], House of Commons, Ottawa ON K1A 0A6. No stamp needed.

A real piece of mail lands on your MP's desk, and the photo is made for sharing. It's hard to argue with a teddy bear.

In 2012 in Barnaul, Russia, residents were denied a protest permit, so they staged one with Lego figures and stuffed animals. Officials then had to decide whether toys could protest.

Buy or stream I'm So Happy, Ms. Rachel and Mr. Aron's debut album, out September 25, 2026. Then share it.

Ms. Rachel spoke up for children in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan and took serious heat for it. Accusations against her were later reported as baseless. People with a platform watch what happens to those who speak up. When someone stands up for kids and still thrives, the next person finds it easier to speak up.

Give every item an issue pun, like Safe Third Country Squares, Lawful Access Loaf or Bill C-22 Cookies, and donate the proceeds. Hold it at home, at work or at school, or ask a local business, faith group or community centre if you can set up there.

The menu does the explaining, and the money goes somewhere real.

Make a mock certificate for an institution, using something on the public record: the Golden Shovel for Most Delayed Delivery, or Most Creative Non-Answer for a ministry's reply. Post it.

A good joke about a real, documented failure gets shared further than a complaint, and it points people to the record.

Satire groups like Billionaires for Bush, plus the long tradition of mock awards.

Label it as satire, aim at institutions rather than people, and never pose as the real organization.

Write new lyrics about an issue to a public-domain tune, like Row, Row, Row Your Boat or Twinkle, Twinkle, and post a 30-second video. Stay away from pop songs because of copyright. If you'd like company, check the Raging Grannies Find a Gaggle map for a group near you.

A catchy tune carries a message further than a statistic, and it gets people singing together.

The Raging Grannies, founded in Victoria in 1987, who've been rewriting old tunes as protest songs ever since.

Change your network name to a question or fact, like AskMeAboutPetitionE7146 or DoesMyBankFundICE. Then screenshot the network list and post it.

It's the cheapest billboard you own. Every neighbour who looks for Wi-Fi reads it.
