20 years ago I had an argument with a US/CDN friend about my fear of the US. He was sure they were controlled by the rule of law but I was right. They are on their way to being like Stalinist Russia soon.

There is an amazing article in CBC News by @fifthestate.bsky.social about Canadian CRA accounts being hacked.
I cannot share the article but it looks like this on my phone.
