Don't know about Canada specifically but as far as i know asylum laws are about having a valid reason, so being from a specific place is less often a valid reason than being from a minority (can also be religious or ethnical) or having certain political views. They would likely sooner accept for example Amish , indigenous or democratic people only before just accepting anyone from the US. I think you're wrong in believing that is unlikely to happen if you see how anyone with a Hispanic demeanor is being treated right now.

The law was long opposed by business groups, who [...] faced hefty fines if caught 'greenwashing'

So often have I heard national lobbyist and politicians say 'we are not against fines, but we need to make sure it's fixed on a European level so there is fair competition in our single level'. Getting so tired of all the bullshit these businesses tell us.

I am trying to avoid using Google as a verb, turns out it's harder than switching to a different search engine

I believe they actually did see improvements, they just weren't sustained

Ms Skillicorn said she could scarcely believe the distance covered by her pet, which was now set to be "grounded for life" after the family go to collect her next week.

Not really good news for the cat though :( /s

Doesn't matter who you are or what you do etc, if you have the wrong skin colour they will come for you. Can't believe how similar this is to 1930's Germany.

That isn't in any way relevant since a) it happened outside nato territory and b) it wasn't done by a state.

It really depends, if you take a direct line between 2 cities it is easy and cheap but the more times you have to switch trains the more expensive it gets (+ also a lot more problems when a train is delayed).

~~presented~~ regulated that way: companies can buy kerosene for airplanes tax-free, but need to pay tax on electricity for trains. Funding for airports and trainstations differ greatly from high ways. Governments hand out money to make the best mode of transportation (from their pov) also the cheapest.
