I have TekSavvy internet (unless you're in their small fiber network, yes you're still using Bell/Rogers/Cogeco/Telus local lines) and my cell phone is with Fizz (flanker brand of VideoTron, which also owns Freedom, which is all owned by Quebecor).

You don't need your voting card to vote.

So if you neglected your paperwork for something, you wouldn’t help one of your family? Seems incredibly callous.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here?

Stuff happens. Life happens. Paperwork is forgotten, sometimes id is lost , stolen, etc. What happened to that woman isn’t illegal for her, something could have been done to help.

And she's in the country she has citizenship for. They can help.

Put yourself in that woman’s shoes for just one second.

I'm having a hard time with this, because I don't know how I'd end up in her situation. She says Canada is her home, but hasn't apply for citizenship for over 2 decades (it's legal to have dual UK & Canadian citizenship). She goes on an overseas trip, but only brings 3 extra days of lifesaving medication. She's offered a loophole to get home(enter through a land border), but doesn't take it. She is a specialist in crisis management, but can't manage this crisis.

I did. Twice, so I could make that comment. What makes you think I didn't read the article?

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre insisted Wednesday that his promised three-strikes law wouldn’t run afoul of the Constitution, after several justice experts said some of his crime policies are likely to get struck down by the courts.

Sure, I'll trust the guy with a BA in international relations over literal experts in the law!

When they say "recession," they are talking about a very specific definition:

Declines in real gross national income (GNI) for two consecutive quarters

This can only be confirmed once we have the data. So, you are likely right, we are probably already in a recession. However, it's not "They just don’t want to acknowledge it’s happening," it's that they can't confirm it's happening until 6 months after a recession has started.

We do not have "northern provinces", those are territories.

For a less pedantic answer:

• the territories are administered differently, with much more control from the Federal government
• they have <120K in population which make statistical data difficult
• they have very unique sociocultural circumstances (remoteness, high percentage of Inuit people, many "fly in" industries, etc) that make them hard to compare to the rest of Canada.

While this is probably a good long-term direction for Canada, I'm curious if this is going to be an excuse to continue relying on our aging CF-18s for another generation.

Sure, that's completely true but unrelated to what you said in your original comment. I quote:

Why would anyone with that much money want to come here permanently

You were not talking about non-resident citizens, so stop moving the goalposts.

Plus, the US has one of the lowest tax rates of any of those "large countries" you talked about. So unless a US citizen resided in a country without a tax treaty with the US (there's not many of them), they're almost certainly being charged enough tax in their resident country that they pay $0 to the IRS on non-USA income.

The US is the only large country that taxes its citizens on their worldwide income.

That’s untrue. As a Canadian, I know we do, and I believe we’re far from alone. I don’t know why people keep perpetuating this myth.
