That dolt is still in the room with Trump, despite us not hearing about his activities as often this week. Soon people might start wondering if he'd left already.

Thanks for the clarification, I thankfully have to worry about neither as a Canadian.

Yeah the right to bear arms here is more like the right for cops to shoot you for their own mistake. Similar to how "right to work" is more like right for employers to fire you whenever and however.

If a postal service needs to make money, it should do what Canadian Tire, Rogers, Loblaws all did - start offering banking services.

I did, oops. The original (in opposite order) would be how Republican deficit hawks would think how wasteful each would be.

Welcome! Thanks for the suggestion, I'm happy with having multiple sites and not one team having absolute say on content over the rest.

Giving $500/month to help the life of a needy American: i sleep

Spending $100,000/day to make a non-American's life miserable: real shit

Well CERN better make the transformation last long enough that I can sell my block of gold to someone before it turns back to lead.

They let like 5 trucks in and pretend they solved the starvation issue.

(unconfirmed Israeli claims suggest 93 trucks have entered)

Blue states should sue and stop supporting the federal government over this, if not seceding.

An IPA-style beer using 100% Canadian ingredients, to be sold by dozens of local brewries across the country with representation from all 10 provinces (& Yukon so far). A portion of proceeds will go to Canadian NFPs or charities. A recipe is also available for homebrewers.

According to a new study by the Angus Reid Institute, 76% of Canadians say they’re boycotting American products.

61% of Canadians also say they’re cancelling or delaying trips to the U.S., while 86% say they’re buying more Canadian products.

“The cross-border data already proves it: Canadians are cutting back their travel to the U.S. to levels last seen during COVID-19. These numbers may drop further, considering that 3 in 5 Canadians say they’re cancelling or delaying plans to travel across the border. In addition to this, the proportion of Canadians saying they’re boycotting American products or buying more Canadian products is already high and appears to be growing.”

 

Filing taxes in Canada is relatively simple compared to the USA. See the site for various options, but try to find ones not operated by American firms such as H&R Block and TurboTax.

From a cursory search, TaxTron, GenuTax, Better Tax appear Canadian. Many are Pay-What-You-Want model.

If you have a complex tax situation and/or can't file online, and/or don't want to do the paper return yourself, consider seeing an independent Canadian accountant.

ETA: TurboTax blames filers for incorrect claims in Ontario getting audited, causing Canadians to owe thousands.

Both things can be true, but it's funny that two opposite sounding replies came to this one comment about US politics.

 

Une explication divertissante que pourquoi les droits de douanes vont faire mal des États-Unis et une guerre commerciale avec ses pays alliées très stupide.

 

Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Chips made in Surrey, BC, by a Canadian owned company, Naturally Homegrown Foods. Most flavours of theirs are vegan (Honey Dijon being an exception).

On the about page:

Why do your products contain both domestic and imported ingredients?

To ensure our products remain non-GMO, sometimes sourcing within Canada is not an option. Our seasonings often contain spices, which may not be available in Canada due to our climate.

We also take transportation emissions into consideration. For example, we are far closer to say, Oregon than we are to Prince Edward Island.

 

Yukon-born, BC resident Jasmine Mooney describes the horrifying experience.

 

Un discussion avec Édouard Roussez, administrateur du groupe FB "Boycott USA! Achetez Français et Européen !". Il a dit que nous devons quitter les réseaux sociaux Americains, et il a mentionné de utiliser Mastodon au lieu de Twitter.

 

Air Canada says there are no concrete numbers or signals yet but they are preparing to decrease the number of US bound trips beginning in March, if cancellations and demand from Canadians decreases.
