if you can find 1000 people in your neighbourhood, city or town that agree that sending $250 to rich people to spend on toys or diapers as an election gimmick is stupid, and that the money should go to the vulnerable instead, you could get a $250,000 donation to the local food bank or other local charity to help low income seniors or disabled people put together via an adhoc direct action committee, and maybe make some friends in the process.

it's a better idea than trying to block it.
the best way for liberal voters to react to these stupid checks going out to people that don't need it and hurting public finances for services in the process - which is a conservative policy that i would guess that almost all base liberal voters would oppose by definition - is to create a mass movement to donate the $250 checks to food banks (that hand out edible, healthy, actual food not the over processed non-food that they're cutting the gst on) or charities that help disabled or retired people in their community.

i'm stuck in the house, but i'm not good with people anyways.

go forth and get this done.
