Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Wrote this a month ago. Unfortunately, the way things are going, many will need to unearth that phone bill from 1996.
As long as you are a naturalized citizen you just never know when you might need to unearth a 30-yr old lease to prove you lived somewhere, or the study permit you renewed in your 3rd year of university. It’s a luxury you can’t assume to have. That’s just the reality of today’s world.

Someone asked me why I still keep decades-old paperwork from my study permit>> permanent residence days. I said “you never know, the Canadian govt could one day ask me to prove I got my citizenship the right way”. The person laughed.
US news makes it certain that I will never shred a thing.

Just saw a “person who does not wash their legs” in real life. There was a very clear ring around their lower leg and above the sock line🤢🤢🤢. He was in clean designer clothes.

Too many people who don’t know enough/anything about Canada opining about the election. General

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives.
The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

Corporate leaders are obsessing over GDP per capita.
But, if you look at just about any number that would meaningfully tell you how well our economy is doing, Canada does better than the U.S.

Hmmm, they rally around a man that most young women won’t vote for (and not just because he creeps them out).

A gender gap is widening in the 2025 federal election, with more men relating to the Conservative leader than women.

Here’s @justinling.ca profile of Poilievre in @foreignpolicy.com. Among its many merits it contains the line “In an interview last year with conspiracy-minded Canadian influencer Jordan Peterson, Poilievre insisted that the West was affected by ‘this horrendous utopian wokeism.’”
Can a Conservative Win Back Canada?
Pierre Poilievre’s path to power looked assured—until Donald Trump returned.

I hate to say it but I am not yet convinced Canadians won’t hand the Conservative Party an election win.
Worried there are too many eligible voters who won’t vote, who are not engaged at all.
Very online people may not realize it but many people are checked out on politics.

Can Mark Carney be brave with his policy. Canadians are game, so please don’t patronize us. We can meet the moment. Just not through some tame tax cuts and an “elbows up” hashtag🤷🏽♀️.
Whoever wins the Liberal party leadership, I hope they can find the right balance between common sense policy and pugnaciousness to 🥊🥊🥊 the Maple MAGA dreams of the CPC Sloganeer.

Canadians aren't being asked to meet the moment
As Donald Trump triples down on his economic war against Canada, one of the things that inspires the most hope is the vociferous and passionate response of Canadians.

See how long before Canadian pundits take their contrarian anti-Carney stances to tell us that he is “just as bad” as Poilievre or how they don’t think he has what it takes to beat the Maple MAGA.
Don’t let that crap discourage you. Let’s ensure the Tories do not form a government.
