In Canada, yes.

As of February 2025, eight provinces and territories are delivering regulated early learning and child care for an average of $10-a-day or less, and all other jurisdictions have reduced parent fees by at least 50%.l

He isn't wrong about China being a security to Canada, and he isn't the first PM to say so.

Things like the Zhao/Chong incident are far more subtle than the leader of a country saying over and over again that they want us to be the 51st state, but it doesn't mean that it's something that we can ignore. Radiation and a shotgun will both you.

We don't "this" here.

You've never seen the "I wouldn't even date you" negging, where adult-aged boys try to trick women into pleading their case to the kid?

I think I go to the bar 2 or 3 times a year, and I've seen it several times. I'm glad that doesn't seem to be as much of a thing in the gay community, at least that I've seen.

Right at the start it has this line

So they likely didn't update the URL, because it might break things that linked to it

A foreign megacorp using their money to try to influence Canadian politics.
Bill s-210 is a privacy nightmare, basically requiring you to give your government-issued photo ID to tech companies.

  • everything NSFW you have ever looked up is connected to your real life identity.
  • Mega corps often bend to government requests for data
  • certain things, like being LGBTQ+, get you jailed or killed in some countries

Why are you using the quote function? What/who are you quoting?

I don't care about Trump's feeling, I care about the feelings of others.

I've had sex with a few guys with very small penises, and they often seem afraid of being rejected or insulted once we're both nude.

I wouldn't insult him, because I don't see a point.

It's too easy for it to be turned into "Look at these haters" to entrench his base.

Yay for body-shaming?

They're just other cards in disguise.

Some of them are owned by Citibank, which makes them not Visa or Mastercard, but Citibank is still American owned. The other issue is that many stores in Canada are still owned by Americans or American companies.

It's about proving who was the original creator/user of the IP, instead of who is the first to file to have that IP protected.

The flipside of this would be having random holding companies just mass filing for ownership of everything posted online, said, written-down, or created, in the hopes that they get approved first so they can sue others, even the creators, for using it.

Look at the "very demure, very mindful" woman, Jools Lebron. Someone else (Jefferson Bates) file to trademark the saying because the original creator didn't think to until after it was viral. Because the laws are ultimately about proving who was the creator, and not who filed first in the USA, it's likely that Jools will get ownership, eventually.
