Sounds like your main problem is trying to be one country when the drawbacks far exceed the benefits. Europe might have an EU but each country is still their own country. If all of Europe tried to unify like the US it would be just as screwed up.
No more Kid gloves. You do not get credit for nebulous intentions of perhaps doing something someday. Rise to meet this moment while you still can.
You are running out of time because there won't be much left to salvage once trump and his regime are done.
I am willing to acknowledge the faults of my country, are you willing to acknowledge the faults of yours?
Who the hell is saying it's perfect? Canada is not perfect, not even close. Canada is not a paradise either. The world is not black and white and treating it that way is setting yourself up for failure.
There is no paradise to be found in this world. We can only acknowledge our flaws and failures, and try to do better than those who came before. Things are improving here though, slowly but surely. The US is self-destructing though and we are in the damage zone.
You are a country that is split in two and ever battling for control. Oil & water and whatever it was that allowed the two halves to bind together is long gone.
War is coming and quickly too... the preparations are well underway.
The US is too big and sprawling and filled with deep regional divisions. It is far easier to have consensus in a fairly small country that is quite tightly-knit. The US can't agree on what it is or what it stands for.
It is a sign of civilizational collapse.
The cars were a division that was sold off. They used to advertise the cars as being from a company that made fighter jets, it was even in the commercials.
Saab still produces fighter jets even if they don't produce cars anymore.
When the AMOC collapses somehow I don't think that will be the case.
We are lucky in that we changed immigration rules that prioritised certain demographics many decades ago and have embraced being a cultural mosaic.
The main conservative party of Canada (CPC) can't afford to alienate a large portion of it's voter base so they ride the line. The extreme far right party (PPC) holds those views bust Canada's demographics means they will stay a fringe.
I'm just glad to have not seen or heard a peep from Maxime Bernier since the election.
It would look bad if you were to try to claim asylum later.
A few of those would make for an excellent House Warming present should California secede from the US.
It turns out that the US government is held together by expectations of people adhering to certain standards. Once someone is powerful enough and they start breaking rules there is just no way to hold them accountable.
The whole system is reaching the breaking point and all it needs is just one more crisis to do it. The resource wars are beginning.
The extreme scenario of >3 °C till 2050 is > 4 billion deaths and breakdown of human civilization (its conservative) What they do not realize is that we will likely reach this mark by 2040 - too many feedbacks now mutually synchronizing and reinforcing... #climate #earth #ourfuture
Wow, what a piece of work!
Most of Canada is uninhabitable or only habitable in low density (such as the Indigenous populations who have lived in those areas for over 10 thousand years). Canada is just fine the way it is, tyvm.
Definitely isn't an easy process. You may have better luck looking into your ancestry if you have grandparents who immigrated.
Venezuela would be even worse. There's a reason so many people flee from there.
Canada has a good sized population for a country with as harsh a climate as it has and the geographic features it has. The US however exists in the sweet spot, or at least a lot of it does.
I believe their distribution centre is in the US. They need to set up something new in Canada to bypass it.
Many are applying for work visas or student visas and relocating that way.
He is being persecuted by the US government so political asylum would probably be on the table. I bet Spain would take him and his family if things didn't work out in Canada though. He is willing to make a stand though and understands more than most what is at stake.
Less harm than constructing a road and bridge for an access road with very limited usage.
It is an ecosystem in flux—ephemeral. It is young and more lava will reshape it.
That's the road.
Do you see all the black ground in the video? That is cooled lava and makes for quite the firm surface. Iceland is a place of renewal and not locked in a moment as much of the rest of the world seems.
Driving thought the Highlands of Iceland is just magical, an incredible experience…have you ever crossed a river on top of a waterfall? I just back from almost a month in Iceland when I go every years to run photo tours.
Christ on a cracker. I'm tired of seeing NDP types posting 'whaaaa... he didn't give me exactly what wanted inside 100 days so he is a bad man and Libs have lost my vote forever' Give your fucking head a shake and take a look around you... particularly south, to see wtf is really happening.

There must be a word for this intentional destruction of a country's own knowledge.
You sure are quick!
Democide.
Democide.
We are in the 6th great mass extinction event and humanity is what triggered it. It won't be long until countries become Arks to try to save what we can.
That was the US. Canada is a harsh and rugged place and has always attracted certain types of immigrants to face the many challenges of survival here. Nothing bonds people together quite like living somewhere with a low margin of error for survival that needs people to look out for each other.
Canada has been doing this for a long time and it works pretty well. These aren't the frontier days of settlers and homesteading, where people were pretty much on their own once they got here. Life has gotten a lot more complicated.
Seems like it flags you for secondary screening.
Frogs in a pot and the water keeps getting hotter and hotter.
"Do as I say, not as I do" is not a great position to be telling people anything.
You do not have the moral authority to tell other countries what they should be doing.
Is that what your country is doing?
If the US was upholding its responsibilities under international law we wouldn't be dealing with this right now. There is just no way we can take in decades of asylum seekers that the US has turned it's back on.
Yeah but it's weird how the article seeks to link the two things together.
It is kinda weird that they single out Haitians... they're the group most likely to be allowed to stay in Canada since we need to boost the Francophone population.
What would you suggest?
Mercator Projection map is an odd choice for this.
Because there are lots of them wanting the hell out of the US right now? Lots of everyone wanting out of the US right now.
I was replying to the other guy.
Just imagine if the US bordered a country with 10 times it's population and 2-3 times the population of your own country wanted to flee to yours as refugees.
We are talking about the actions of the Democratic US being bullies around the world for many decades.
The Nazis were a fascist dictatorship and not a democracy as the US has been until very recently.
A government is the representative of it's people.
Most asylum seekers have wanted to go to the US and only recently are looking to Canada as the preferred option. The US advertises to the world with film, television, and other media and has for a very long time. The so-called "American Dream" and the Statue of Liberty calls to many.
Some social housing estates like they built in the UK in the years after the war might help. As long as the residents are a good mix of different types who need subsidised housing so they don't end up like The Projects of the US... Working class, seniors, those with disabilities, younger people.
I do get sick posting about Trump, but he’s a global threat of a kind we haven’t seen before. Every single thing he does, every policy, is damaging and they all reach out far beyond America’s borders.
If they want more pipelines then they need to reduce flow to the US. We produce way too much of this garbage already.
Korbessa flew into our lives as a tiny calf and has blossomed into a confident lady! Keeper Joseph remains by her side every step. Raising newborn orphans requires years of hands-on care, providing love and guidance for their eventual wild lives. Korbessa has come so far already: swt.bio/korbessa
Just your reminder that the 2A of the US Constitution was to prevent the stuff the Trump admin is doing as an autocratic government. It’s not being used as intended so why even keep it at this point? #cdnpoli #uspoli
Massive Ukrainian drone attack now taking place across the whole of occupied Crimea. Multiple targets. Several jet-powered drones in action. #explodey

It’s worse than depicted in the graphic created with 2019 data. Training a single AI model can emit as much carbon as five cars in their lifetimes Deep learning has a terrible carbon footprint. By Karen Hao June 6, 2019 www.technologyreview.com/2019/06/06/2...
We are two separate countries with different cultures and values. Trying to break that down is how expansionists operate.
I feel like civilisation is crumbling as more and more people behave like animals and lash out and destroy.
I think you nailed why things are changing when you mentioned the scale of it that is coming. The potential scale is enough to put a lot of people into survival mode and support/vote for whoever will prevent that from happening. Getting people out of survival mode is not an easy task.
The north is warming at more than twice the rate of the rest of the world and drought is severe.
Like I said, Russia won't stop with Ukraine. This is about survival and fighting Russian imperialism. But Russia is your friend, right? So you cheer their imperialism and shame those who fight back.
They aren't doing a repeat. Look to the US if you're worried about that sorta thing. Russia wants more than Ukraine.
Are you that worried about Russia?
Can someone tell them that we can build more housing and infrastructure? Our land use laws could be loosened up a bit so that the land itself doesn't cost more than land with a house used to cost.
That sends a rather bad signal that supports the trumpian annexation propaganda.
Multiple US politicians and billionaires are getting involved in the BC ostrich farm dispute. Why? "I think the Canadian people and the people of the United States are one people." They see the border as illegitimate, and are setting themselves up as saviours and liberators. #canada #cdnpoli
Canadians shouldn't even be crossing that border at all and you have more than enough of our money.
Doug Ford says a lot of shit.
No, he didn't.
We don't threaten that. Some people joke but they are mostly USians.
If too many people do that then people will start expecting anyone doing that to be a USian masquerading. If you don't like how you're treated as a USian internationally then hiding won't help that.
People decided that development of land was greedy and destructive and restricted it heavily. Things are very different now and if you want to change that you have to change the balance.
What will be left after the wars are over?
The US has 10 times the population that Canada has.
Yes, they are a deterrent and a deterrent that we need.
Why a #Quebec food can maker reshored its supply chain back to #Canada from the U.S. #IdealCan www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
The guarantors breaching it will mean all bets are off.
Yes and the US was supposed to back that up and has no intention of doing so. Russia was also supposed to back that up and has no intention of doing so. If you want to nullify the non-proliferation treaty then it isn't worth the paper it was written on.
Your country has thousands of nukes so it is a bit rich to tell others they shouldn't have them.
The US is our biggest threat and it is also the most heavily armed country in NATO.
Nukes can be intercepted and bunkers built.
It’s your last week to take advantage of the Canada Strong pass and see some of what our beautiful country has to offer! The last day is September 2nd. Get out there and explore Canada! 🇨🇦
Those who align themselves with Russia. Do you think Russia would have attacked Ukraine if Ukraine still had nukes?
So our enemies have lots of nukes and we have few. That doesn't sound like it worked out all that well to me.
