Who tf is still going to that shithole country?

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 25 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

My roommate because his lover is there. Insane risk I think, given she's trans.

[–] lemonySplit@lemmy.ca 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Won't be long till they can seek asylum in Canada at the rate things are going

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 18 points 14 hours ago

Not sure how much of an asylum that is in a decade given our close proximity and similar culture rot.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 13 points 15 hours ago

Wealthy boomers.

Some people don't really have a choice because of their job. That's in big part who the Nexus card is for.

[–] lemonySplit@lemmy.ca 17 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

There's no way on gods green earth my company could convince me to go to Amerikkka. I'd quit same day. There is always a choice.

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 11 points 13 hours ago

Me neither. I was asked earlier this year and I said hell no. I'm not setting foot there anytime soon.

Canadan siblings: you are witnessing the continuing lack of courage and action from the people of the USA. Don't follow our example! Your government should rediscover backbone for your people, rather than strengthening the liplock on the backsides of billionaires and multinational megacorporations; but they won't without direct action and constant, loud, vigorous, united expression of "absolutely not!” PLEASE protect your sovereignty, and set the example for us that we should have been setting for you, for decades.

Love,

Me

It's a Nexus card, not a Nemaleus card or a Nefemaleus car.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 12 points 14 hours ago

Sorry guys. I was in Montreal for vacation a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. You don't deserve this.

The Carney govt throwing trans people under the bus so that business travellers can skip the line really says "ally"!

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The Nexus program is more run by the US than us. They really get to call the shots on it.

[–] patatas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

The alternatives, then, are as follows: ignore human rights for trans and non-binary folks, or cancel this agreement.

I'm kind of a fan of human rights, personally

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Carney is throwing everyone under the bus for his corporate buddies like the concentration camp folks Garda world.

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

He's also throwing the environment under the bus to make Danielle Smith happy by working on an oil pipeline to sell more oil to Europe. (Who are working on reducing their dependency on oil already...)

We already can't breathe here in MontrΓ©al with the amount of smog we have. But nooo. Gotta keep the "economy" rolling.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The Mexico filter is real, you just gotta come to Montreal to witness it.

Fucking hell was that a miserable week to need oxygen.

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I had to search what the Mexico filter was lol! But yeah. It's fucking real. The light is orange. Even in peak daylight. The past couple of weekends, friends and I have gone out and our throats were straight up burning. I also have asthma, which has worsened since catching covid and the damn super-flu that's been going around, and my lungs are so congested. My medication can't keep up. I'm fucking dying over here.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

I don't have asthma, and the air was heavy and breathing was laborious.

The noon sun was red, you can't make this shit up.

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 7 points 14 hours ago

I say we make "American" a gender, and that you're not American enough unless you have American as your gender.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 6 points 15 hours ago

Glad I let my Nexus card expire.

[–] puppinstuff@lemmy.ca 6 points 15 hours ago

Now I feel the urge to change my passport to X just for spite.
