I travelled to the US from Canada recently and was super confused when I didn't need to enter my PIN. Was also really confused about giving away my credit card to bartenders

I don't remember that. Do you have a source? Not doubting you btw, just want to read into what happened

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Weirdly when I open that in instance I only see one post but if I open the full link, I see plenty

I mean, you do you but it's a Canadian politics community and Donald Trump/Justin Trudeau are pretty (to put it mildly) relevant to Canadian politics

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

If that includes the Queen of Canada's RV you do have reason to worry

You know, at this point I wouldn't even be against a border wall but probably not for the reason he'd be thinking. You guys are scaring us a little

I have a lot of issues with Trudeau but the one thing I have to give him is that he can really deal with Trump well

Side note but since when is Canada a major source of drug cartels and fentanyl production lol?

You can quit the drug but you can never forget it. (been sober from stims for many years but the desire never fully goes away)

I understand where you're coming from but I assume they mean it in a way similar to Minecraft where, officially the game launched 1.0 13 years ago, but they still want to add a lot more to the game. Basically free updates for the foreseeable future which definitely isn't a bad thing.

I had no idea this building was so old, let alone so beautiful in its prime. I'd love to bring it back to it's former glory someday.


The story of the Jackson Building is both fabled and fraught. Its history has been buffeted by great events - both World Wars, a man-made disaster, the Roaring Twenties, the birth of Canada's radio broadcasting, and the vagaries of Federal Government accommodation. The Jackson has now slipped back into obscurity. Hard to believe that what is today an anonymous brick block was once one of Ottawa’s best-known addresses. And, that there are still a few stories to be told. This post is replete with lengthy extracts from the overheated advertising copy-writers of the 1920s and 30s, which will have to suffice until photographs of the Jackson's more exciting features are uncovered.

I honestly don't know if this is better or worse than the ear murdering high pitched screeching they play in the stairwells at a mall in Ottawa

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

Actually surprised and happy to hear this. I've kind of come to expect that Canada doesn't really take on companies and just let's other countries sort them out...

They also can't talk. Unrealistic comic smh

Pat King, a key figure in what became the Freedom Convoy protest that paralyzed downtown Ottawa in early 2022, has been found guilty of most charges against him for his role.

Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland is delivering his decision at the Ottawa Courthouse Friday.

King has been found guilty of five charges including mischief, counselling to commit mischief and disobeying a court order.

He's been found not guilty of three charges: intimidation, counselling to commit intimidation and obstructing a public or peace officer.

OTTAWA – A smug man from Canada wasted no time this morning chastising Americans for re-electing terrifying liar and felon Donald Trump, despite the fact that he plans to vote for terrifying liar and asshole Pierre Poilievre in the next Canadian election.

Matt Hunter, a 36-year-old barista, took time away from attending a Poilievre rally to rant about how stupid Americans were for falling for Trump’s fascist bullshit.

“I just can’t believe that someone could look at a petty asshole running on slogans, lies, and faux outrage and think, ‘Yeah, this guy will be good for the country,’” Hunter laughed, taking a quick second to repost an “Axe the Tax, Build the Homes, Fix the Budget, Stop the Crime” tweet on X. “It makes no sense. Luckily we up here in Canada have more common sense. Pierre says so.”

“When Poilievre becomes Prime Minister next year, he’s gonna stand up to Trump. They’re so different in ways that I can’t even describe. Don’t even ask me what those ways are. Just trust me, bro. He’ll bring Canada home again.”

If so, how'd you hear about lemmy?

It feels like everyone here came from reddit but I'm curious if anyone found lemmy organically
