    The vibe shift, end of "wokeness"?

    If his rules say the guy's ineligible only if he has a removal order, and he didn't, and the law doesn't say "must be a citizen of Canada or permanent resident," how do you know he knew he was illegal? And even if he knew, where in the rules as written say he couldn't get welfare? Looks like...

    The vibe shift, end of "wokeness"?

    Yup - since buddy wasn’t subject to a removal order when he applied, it seems to have been allowed.

    Canadian Foreign Interference (General)

    Well, we saw how smooth and without bumps the RCMP Blackhawk border chopper lease went after being implemented in weeks, so maybe getting it right over a bit longer timeline might be an alternative. We’ll see …

    2026 FIFA World Cup

    Ah, the OTHER airborne regiment disbandment … The Foreign Legion would have to form a 3rd REP then.

    Canadian Foreign Interference (General)

    Not Canadian, but here's one way a foreign agent registry law/regulations can work to root out bad actors - in this case, what looks like a South African spy busted at Oak Ridge National labs in the U.S. "Former Oak Ridge National Laboratory Employee Sentenced To Federal Prison For Acting As A...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Agreed. Well, a lengthy, reportedly robust talk about security and defence with POTUS47 got criticized for not including any trade questions - this from folks who say Canada’s not doing enough in defence. This based on questions from reporters. Prioritizing the defence discussion there makes...

    Leadership: Opposition Poilievre v. PM Carney [Split from The vibe shift, end of "wokeness"?]

    Maybe not you individually, but there’s been one or two posts about asking why Canada has chosen in certain situations to be edgy with the US. Can’t say the “bend the knee” sentiment dial is completely zero. But I stand to be corrected if I misunderstood.

    Usual reminder of presumed innocent until confirmed guilty via due process. More on this - wonder how the guy with the nickname "Shrunken Shlong" will do in the prison system? https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-grand-jury-indicts-8-men-conspiracies-related-plot-attack-ufc-freedom-250-event...

    Rioting across UK cities (summer 2024 and beyond)
