Not only does Canada share a land border with Denmark (Hans Island), but a maritime border with France (NL and St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands).

Canada should join the European Union.

Excellent, Lindsey. Thank you.
I particularly like, "No auto-voting for the same party."

Perhaps those from Alberta, or even the USA, can prescribe a quasi-vaccine to prevent the spread of disease or a pseudo-antibiotic to quash the infection?

How best to arrest the threat of right-wing populism (& its associated anti-science, anti-immigrant, & misinformation elements) in 🇨🇦, so as to prevent mimicking the problems in the 🇺🇸?
Education ✔️
Fact-checking of news articles & sources.✔️
Not platforming racists in our media✔️
What else can we do?

Glad to hear that Hamas FINALLY freed all remaining living Israeli hostages.
Now, get Hamas and Israeli leadership to the Hague to face justice for their war crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.

You're absolutely right.

You're particularly correct about France. They're on a slippery slope there. It will be hard for Macron to hold on.

You nailed it. Right-wing populism is on the rise, even here in Canada. Hopefully we can continue to illuminate the folly of that waterless canal of an ideology.

Making the national school food program permanent ($216M in annual funding) flew under the radar of other news this past week, but it, in addition to automatic tax-filing for low-income Canadians, was an excellent & empathetic move by PM Carney. 🇨🇦 must continue w/ positive and proactive initiatives.
