I am asking one thing of you all: do not voluntarily detransition.
That is what they want most.

I have once again entered the United States at YVR preclearance without issue.
The only question for me was about declarations, though my spouse had a brief procedural discussion to make sure they were admitted on the correct status.

Presumably I’m not the first person to ever think of a split assessment rate between land and improvements. What are the best arguments not to do something like this?
I agree with all of this. Henry George was right.
Looking at my own situation… Port Moody levies 3.939% per $1000 of assessed value on residential land. A split rate of 4.939% on land and 2.939 on buildings would increase the tax on a $1 million home by $567… almost exactly the $570 homeowner grant

There is some truth to your claim. I care more about voter sentiment than about mass exctinction. I want voters to hate big oil as much as I do. And renewables give them a false sense of security, so I hate renewables for giving big oil cover.

So observant Jews have actually sued over the laws because they can’t buy things on Saturday and then are prohibited by law from doing so on Sunday, and the US Supreme Court was like “lol sucks to suck, sure it’s a burden but the state is doing it for Totally Secular reasons so it’s fine”

You can also hook a TV tuner card to your computer and watch stuff that way, including over a home network. If you have a setup based on Jellyfin or Plex, there are ways to get those video feeds in there.
I’m just thinking of this because I’m watching football while not paying anybody a penny: Do Americans know that you can (still!) watch HD digital broadcasts of all the major networks over the air, for free, complete with programming guide data, just by hooking up an antenna to your TV?

If we want Canada to advance feminism through foreign policy, we need the diplomatic, economic, and military weight to back it up #cdnpoli
Mark Carney continues to distance himself from Justin Trudeau. But if there's a political calculation here, I can't see it.
No more feminist foreign policy, Carney says
Prime Minister, who made the comments at the G20 summit in Johannesburg, has placed less emphasis on feminist policies than the Trudeau government
