Useful context for Alberta’s anti-inmigrant referendum questions. We are not being “flooded” with newcomers. And scapegoating immigrants for longstanding structural problems with our public health care system, in particular, is gutter politics. #cdnpoli #abpoli #notothenine.

Goodreads really took down all the comments pointing out a book is AI slop because the thief went crying to them about their sloppery being pointed out? After the author of the original book that was stolen talked about it. What absolutely useless cowards.

I can't believe I have to say this, the Canadian government ONLY controls the land and the airport they own, we do not own the airlines, the airlines set the prices, not the government, any sales of real estate space in the airports would not affect pricing for airlines. sighs....

The Canadian GRADE, whether for beef, frozen berries, or whatever, is NOT the ORIGIN. It's a 'GRADE" system. Check packaging CAREFULLY — they're getting SNEAKY. Look on the back, the bottom, the sides, wherever… And if it doesn't specify, IT'S USian. Guaranteed! ➡️ Put it BACK, UPSIDE DOWN. 🫡 🤣

Looking at buying a new car, check the VIN. Any car assembled in the US, the first number will be a 1, 4, or 5. Leave that car on the lot. Any car assembled in Canada will begin with a 2. Excellent choice. Any car assembled in Mexico begins with a 3. Also excellent choice. Happy shopping!
