I want to acknowledge that the hurricane hunters have been working relentlessly and in dangerous conditions - *without pay* - to do their best to help other countries (in this case).

I wish some in our federal government had half the dedication to public good and fellow humans.

Hey folks please take a look at this and consider filing it out, because if you don't you can be sure the tax software lobby industry is! The CRAis starting to consult on automatic tax filing in Canada. Let's get this done!

cra-arc-survey-sondage.ca/f/s.aspx?s=d...
Help shape the future of automatic tax filing in Canada The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is working to reduce tax filing barriers for individuals. Many individuals with a lower income are still missing out on valuable benefit and credit payments because they are not filing an annual tax return. Automatic tax filing is one way the CRA can effectively support individuals with a lower income in filing their taxes. The CRA has significantly expanded the reach of its automatic tax filing services since 2023 by increasing access to its SimpleFile services, including almost tripling the number of individuals invited to use SimpleFile by Phone during the tax filing season. Now, the CRA is seeking feedback to help shape the future of automatic tax filing in Canada. How to participate Individuals, community organizations, tax preparers, tax software professionals, and academics are invited to participate in the CRA’s automatic tax filing questionnaire by October 9th. Participants can share their views on: • the CRA’s current efforts to reduce filing barriers for individuals with a lower income • opportunities to expand automatic tax filing tools and services, as well as what the CRA needs to consider when expanding tools and services How the CRA will use your feedback Your feedback will help the CRA better understand opportunities and considerations related to its SimpleFile services in Canada. It will also contribute to the creation, or expansion, of services to help individuals file their taxes and get the payments they’re entitled to. For more information on the CRA’s consultation activities, please go to Automatic tax filing consultation or send an email to engagementg@cra-arc.gc.ca.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

We notice the near total lack of American leaders and media calling this out. That's a big factor in why we cannot trust the US again. No one can.

The leading cause of death for pregnant women in the US is homicide.

(This jaw-dropping fact is frequently cited by @lyz.bsky.social, from whence I got it.)
Homicide leading cause of death for pregnant women in U.S. | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Women in the U.S. who are pregnant or who have recently given birth are more likely to be murdered than to die from obstetric causes—and these homicides are linked to a deadly mix of intimate partner violence and firearms, according to researchers from Harvard Chan School.

Sigh. If only they would call it, "American Imperialism Threatens Canadian Sovereignty" instead of "51st State: A Cross Border Conversation", people would not be pissed off.

Naming and framing is everything.

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand.

They see Canada, and the best of our values.

Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

MFer I grew up before NAFTA. I didn't have an avocado until I was 15 years old. I ate lunch in a Zellers cafeteria. I thought Robin Hood was just a guy who made flour.

I was made for this moment.
