Thought 3 - Milton Lim October 23rd

My name is Milton Lim and this is my third thought residency. This goes out to the rebels. Today I met up with a friend who is visiting from Hong Kong. We talked about the recent transgressions that occurred during the swearing in of new pro-democracy members in Hong Kong's legislative council and the subsequent denials of their oaths. I think about the ripples of the umbrella movements still resonating in these actions. I think about the overlapping of the underground and the public. I think about the voices of democracy. I think about Canada's 2015 Federal election and those rallies to get Harper out. I think about Trudeau's fleeting promises, in this case specifically proportional representation. And I think about the desire for effort to match outcome. I think about the values of getting rude and being loud in just the right places.
