"the federal government’s border security bill could grant law enforcement sweeping powers to surveil #Canadians and invade their #privacy. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/federal-bill-could-give-law-enforcement-sweeping-powers-to-access-information-groups-warn/

To my fellow #Canadians who receive the Canada disability tax credit. You may be eligible for up to $2400/year, or $200/month. Depending on your marital and income status. If you are on social assistance, you likely qualify. If you get a letter in the mail with a six digit pin, you can go online to apply. Your benefits will start one month after you're approved. I just got my first deposit today. You can google Canada disability benefit for more info. You're welcome. Have a nice day.

A friend is crossing into the US to go to property. I am wondering about insurance issues for #Canadians not visiting their US properties often enough.

This is a bugger of a situation. Friend’s family member has been barred from the US for 2 years for not liking the elected government. Was quizzed at the border on the topic, specifically, and, stupidly, told the truth.

If you’re trying to cross the border, be prepared for the unexpected.

I recommend watching Europa Europa. It’s an old #movie with loads and loads of insight into survival behaviour.

"The prime minister, a consummate technocrat who knows how to cater to elite interests, is taking #Canadians for a ride, while servicing his natural constituency: bankers, tech broligarchs, oil barons, and arms manufacturers." https://breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys-rightward-rushing-agenda-getting-started-denial/

#Americans consider that
after nearly 100 years of friendship and collaboration
you have betrayed and harmed your closest allies (the #Canadians)
and it took ONE person
NOT a genius or an intellectually admirable person
but a perverted con man, a recognized criminal
to erase 100 years of friendship and collaboration.
So
...
how much confidence do you think the rest of the world
has in the US now?

The drop in visitors from #Canada to #US
this year is around 20%

I"m honestly shocked
only 20% ?
that's all ?
the remaining 80% of #Canadians continue to go to the US ?

....
if the boycott is so little
I do wonder about the Canadians.

Hello fellow #Canadians and #mappers checkout what @watmildon made for us! It is @SmallTownCanada

Fedi Canadian political curiosity of the day:

Was followed by someone with Canadian flag emojis all over their profile. Their bio said they were interested in climate change and social justicey stuff (including hashtag "politics" which will be important later) and said they would "BLOCK" anti-LGBTQ+ folks and racists. It also said #NeverVoteConservative. Nationalism aside, (nationalism is terrifyingly normalised with Canadians) that all seemed good to me but then they followed their line about blocking those bad folks with "Communists --Block" which is ... weird. So, I messaged them and asked why they followed me and also block communists, to which they responded that their vision is partially impaired right now, and they didn't see "communism" in my bio. They thanked me for telling them and promptly blocked me. They said they are for "degrowth" but without "politics," which seems bizarre to me. Anyone encountered this before? How can you change the way the world works enough to get "degrowth" without "politics"? And why is "communism" "political" but "never vote conservative" not?

(Also, degrowth without communism/anarchism isn't gonna cut it, but that's beside the point.)

#Canadians still want bold #climate action, so why aren’t we talking like it? https://reclimate.ca/talk-baby-talk/

Trump’s #Ambassador threatened #Canada:

Asked #Canadians to show "loyalty" if they want to have trade 'relief'
either Canada agrees to submit by losing its sovereignty
or there will be no "favourable" trades.

Fellow #Canadians, do yourself a favour and listen to @pluralistic ‘s CBC podcast series, “Who broke the Internet?” - especially the last episode’s call to action!

#Canadians: riddle me this - how does a Prime Minister "rescind" (not delay) a law passed by parliament? The last time I looked a parliamentary democracy does not have a presidential executive power (doubt even Trump could legally do it).
What do you think Parliament things about it? PMs are answerable to Parliament.
