Reposting but with the original image, but OP’s name removed as they have deleted their post. The same point still stands though.

It’s absolutely clear to us! And I’m pretty sure these aren’t expectations the EU would have… unless the EU plans to invade, occupy & annex our sovereign nation after fully debilitating of finaas well. 😜

Part 2: which convictions they’re most concerned about, generally.
Why a Criminal Record Matters

Canada restricts entry to individuals with certain criminal histories to protect public safety and uphold the integrity of its immigration system. Even if your conviction occurred many years ago or was considered a minor offence in your home country, it may still be treated as a serious criminal offence under Canadian law.
Examples of offences that can make you inadmissible include:
Driving under the influence (DUI) or impaired driving
Assault or domestic violence
Drug possession or drug trafficking
Theft, fraud, or forgery
Weapons or firearm offences
If an officer determines your offence is equivalent to an indictable offence under Canada’s Criminal Code, you may be refused entry.

It would be conviction if a criminal charge - not a civil one. They’re a local bylaw infractions & wouldn’t be raised to a federal level that I know of… but I’m no lawyer! 😅 Here’s a screenshot from an article by a Canadian law firm that gives examples of the types of convictions they mean.
From ayodelelaw.ca website article entitled “Visiting Canada with a Criminal Record”:

How Border Officers Determine Admissibility

When you arrive at the border or apply for a visitor visa, immigration officers may:

- Access international criminal databases (like CPIC and Interpol)
- Review your visa application and background checks
- Assess whether your offence meets the definition of criminality or serious criminality under IRPA s.36
- A single conviction may not always result in permanent inadmissibility — but officers must confirm that your past does not pose a risk to Canadian society.

They don’t. That’s likely a pet which was released or the progeny of one which was. They are a non-native (aka invasive) species in the area. It’s like seeing a feral cat colony or “wild” pigeons or “rabbit parks.” They aren’t wild. They’re pets someone didn’t want any more & dumped.

Bonnie was napping but she was so excited that your pieces arrived that she woke up just to check out her wild mustelid relations. This one will live upstairs in our family room where all the munchkins are & the summer stoat will live downstairs in my office on the will behind my monitor. 😊 TYSM!

Bonnie had to pause her activity bc she thinks her tiny mustelid cousin’s sounds are curious & she wants to check things out further!! Kind of like a doodle curious about a wolf cub… 😉

As a family of ferrets + a RES turtle, we love seeing art with mustelids & turtles! 🥰

Inside is a patterned absorbent mat, a soft, padded fabric hiding spot, a small jersey fabric small animal sleeping bag, and two hard plastic pet toys.

Our RES #turtle 🐢 Moe’s tank w ATBA is in our living room. He’s super interactive with us & regularly shows signs of wanting to come out and explore - but every time I take him out into the main living area (w ferrets locked up) or outside w his pool) he panics. BUT he *really* wanted out! /1

Article from Ghe Jerusalem Post

MARCH 10, 2026 14:25

Apple recently announced its iPhone 17e – a model intended to make its AI technology accessible to a broader audience. Although the external design has barely changed, it appears that this time Apple chose to invest specifically in the areas where the previous model, the 16e, began to feel outdated.

A quiet upgrade under the radar: Apple launched the iPhone 17e in a press release
Without a flashy event and without a stage in Cupertino, Apple refreshed its entry device. The iPhone 17e comes with an A19 chip, full support for Apple Intelligence and a new cellular modem developed in Israel – all at the same price tag of 599 dollars.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that people are like Venn diagrams. MTG is a horrific person who has harmed SO many people & such awful ways. I’ll never choose to align myself with her. And yet on this ONE statement we can agree. That is the overlap. This one statement on this one topic only.

I wish more Americans (and esp US politicians) realized how much of that US debt is owned by other countries… It’s like buying a big, fancy house; bragging about how rich you are; but then having GIANT mortgageS with *many* banks. They can come to collect at any time.

Albertan separatists are traitors. They’re sooooo welcome to take their personal belongings & leave. It’s not their land to take. The assets that AB brags about are all land-based so without the land there’s nothing. We’ll gladly wave goodbye to them as they go.

The funny part is how little Americans know about the number of other countries which hold US debt. If/when those countries come calling, the house of cards will collapse. It’s like when someone “owns” a fancy house but really the bank owns it & can call up that mortgage at any time. 🙃

Stated intent to kill an entire nation’s population. This same regime has repeatedly stated its intent to invade, occupy & annex our sovereign nation here in #Canada. These are war crimes & they’re manufacturing consent to do the same to us so that they can steal our natural resources as well.

If only they actually advised not to… GAC is setting up so many Canadians for serious problems with their unrealistic “advisories” these days. They tell Canadians that it’s more dangerous to travel to the UK or Italy than the US. Be so for real. 😑 According to them everything is totally ✅✅ great!

I had to stop by #Walmart today to pick up a requested gift card & say this “Canadian Christmas” section of cards there. Stopped by to check it out & hd this *tiny* moment when I thought that *maybe* they were actually selling 🇨🇦-made cards. First one I checked a 🇨🇦🪿 on it… made in 🇺🇸. 😐🙄 1/2

Ferb the dark-eyed white ferret is actively licking his person’s face, nose, mouth & eyes in an attempt to convince her to give him salmon oil snacks, while she looks at Bluesky posts about other ferrets. Her eyes & face are squinched tight in an effort to avoid eyeball and nose licks.

Right in the ear lol… Ferb likes to come groom me after he gets salmon oil snacks & usually that involves licking me on the mouth or my cheek right by my eye. Their tongues are SO scratchy!! Every time I try to go along but after a bit I feel like I’m getting overly exfoliated! 😅

Dear @bsky.app algorithm, when I post about #ferrets, reply to other people’s images/comments about ferrets, or generally discuss FERRETS I mean actual ferrets. Or even Furret the *ferret* Pokémon. I do not mean *furries.* Zero hate or shaming to that community, but no thanks. Not the same word!
Three pictures along the left side of a white background with words next to them. 

The first is a picture of a chocolate coloured ferret (Bonnie) standing up on her front legs on the edge of a side table & looking at the camera. She does NOT appear amused! 

Next to her name is the word “ferret” with a green checkmark. 

The next photo is an image of Furret, the ferret Pokémon. Next to him is the word “furret” with a green check mark next to it. 

The last photo is an image of a cartoon furry from Wikipedia. Next to the image is the word “furry” and a red circle with a line through it.
