Canada wasn’t built because we AGREED.
It was built because we STAYED.
Even when things got hard.
Even when we fought.
We’ve been here before—and we made it through.
Watch this.

Maybe wartime "essential services" are not the same as during a pandemic (or job action) - how old is too old to be drafted? I don't think I'm ready for this.

Are we truly too old to get drafted? Does being in an essential service job exclude us? Just listened to @sandela.bsky.social and @nolore.bsky.social and can't shake that sidebar - I teach, does my partner need to go back to the grain elevator? -signed, a worried Canadian

Reason #547 I would rather get swindler by someone poor while they are trying to feed/cloth/house themselves than someone rich while they are just getting richer and not paying a fair share towards the services we actually need. (I made up that number, but it might be interesting to start the list)

Just getting popcorn and snacks ready over here - who needs 'reality' tv?
Who will be the first one booted off the island in this MAGA Civil War? Will it be Stepchild Vivek? Will it be Puppeteer Musk? Will it be JD Vance, because you know, why’s he been so quiet? The world is waiting to find out!

How can Health and Environmental Sciences capture the hearts and minds of Northern and rural communities? Seriously, I do not know how. I'm over here, basically Miss Frizzle, and I reach maybe 2% of each grad class.
Wait, is that a good average? I have no idea.
