Hey #Canada, polls are fine and all, but don’t get complacent. Polls have been wrong before. Vote in this upcoming election on April 28th (or earlier with early voting).
No matter what anyone tells you or what you may think, your vote matters.

The US invasion of Venezuela is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter. Celebrating the capture of Maduro, Donald Trump went further, calling it an “attack on sovereignty” itself.
Countries the world over must work together to rein in the United States before it’s too late.

Dear Reddit, your app is becoming a Cybertruck level dumpster fire. Why you playing scrabble with the UI? Stop moving stuff around. And if you’re going to do it anyways, at least tell us in the release notes that you’re about to screw up the whole flow. Your version notes oozes laziness.

This is the worst idea ever. As someone who works in IT, the LAST thing I want is Intune and Teams in my car. Now my employer can potentially have remote management of my car? Also, having Teams in the vehicle is nothing but a distraction. group.mercedes-benz.com/innovations/...

I agree with @mark-carney.bsky.social’s statement. Our relationship with the US has been fundamentally broken. I, for one, will be continuing to check labels and make a conscious effort to avoid US goods. I think most Canadians will agree, #canada feels betrayed by what once was a close friend.
