If you want non-citizens to visit your country, a good first step is to stop imperilling non-citizens who come to the country!

This would be my first stop since the choir at that period was linked with the university. I suspect most archives have the capacity to transfer old media to new. A few years ago, friend worked on a similar project transferring audiotapes to digital media for the Yukon Archives.

Oh, good grief! I just got one of the ubiquitous AI spam emails directed at writers. This one wants to organize a targeted marketing campaign for my next book, due out in early 2027. Which is lovely and generous and all that.... but why is the alleged writer addressing me as "Andrew"? Andrew?!?!?

19th Century anti-Canada lies/propaganda as told by American slave masters: 1) You have to give half your wages to the Queen. 2) Ground is always covered in ice, nothing can be grown. 3) Geese will scratch your eyes out. (Farrell 1955)

THE HISTORY OF THE NEGRO COMMUNITY IN CHATHAM, ONTARIO

71

'After we began to hear about Canada', said M.J. Lindsay, "our master used to tell us all manner of stories about what a dreadful place it was;
and we believed some of them, we didn't. When they told us that we must pay half our wages to the Queen, every day, it didn't seem strange to us nor wrong; but when they said it was so cold there that men going mowing had to break the ice with their scythes, I didn't believe that, because it was onreasonable (sic). I knew grass wouldn't grow where ice was all the time.' 'I was old before I left Virginia', said Dan Fackart, 'I have heard it as common talk that the wild geese were so common in Canada, that they would scratch a man's eyes out; that corn wouldn't grow there, nor anything but rice; that everything they had there was imported'........82

As Dr. S.G. Howe puts it, "Nothing invited the Negroes to this
cold region, except the still, small voice of freedom."

(Farrell 1955)

Costco clinches $184M in tariff refunds, with more expected

The big-box retailer said the money was reinvested to give "value back to our members." It’s more than a third of the total tariff refunds the company expects.

I think it might be more productive to apply the spindle to your president. And perhaps include a "plague on all of your house" clause.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
