My theory is that some asshole at google thought it was soo much to keep track of what every government globally calls their government operated parks and nature reserves, and just wanted a blanket term for it and went for “state park”, with no consideration for how itd piss most countries off.
Ditto. If it is secure, independent, and operated and maintained by Canadians, it is simply in the best interest of both countries. Frankly, it might be something we want to explore on our own even without the US leading it. We are an awfully large country though, and it might not be practical. But maybe we can atleast protect major population centers? Who knows. I’m out of my depth here.
Also interested. I am Canadian living in America and am looking to back asap. Was looking for go bags in case if things get way too hectic in the US for Canadians and I just need to get in my car and dash to the border.
I figured basic medical, food & water, basic survival stuff would be needed. I would add a gun to the mix, but thats money I would rather save to help move to Canada. Plan on buying a gun once in Canada.
I love me some Letterkenny. While it is a comedy, it really does an excellent job at highlighting what being Canadian means. I really need to watch the spin off, Shoresy.
If you’re interested in more media that helps you understand what being Canadian is all about, I’d recommend listening to some of the most iconic Canadians musicians of all time: Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, The Tragically Hip, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and The Band. You’ve almost certainly heard their songs before, but listen to some of their less popular music.
Here’s some specific songs that I am fond of, and feel highlight Common Canadian Sensibilities:
- King Harvest (Has Surely Come) by The Band
- Dance me to the End of Love by Leonard Cohen
- In View by The Tragically Hip
- Bobcaygeon by The Tragically Hip
- Signs by Five Man Electrical Band
- Carefree Highway by Gordon Lightfoot
- If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot
- Illegal by Corbeau
- Universal Soldier by Buffy Sainte-Marie
- Til I Am Myself Again by Blue Rodeo
- (You’re A) Strange Animal by Gowan
- The Rest of My Life by Sloan
- Money City Maniacs by Sloan
- The Consumer by Stompin’ Tom Connors
- Helpless by Neil Young
- Heart of Gold by Neil Young
- Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane
- American Psycho by Treble Charger
- Truth Doesn’t Live in a Book by Ben Chaplan
- The Night Pat Murphy Died by Great Big Sea
These showcase a variety of genres and locations within Canada. We are a big country with such a beautiful mixture of experiences that allow for such wonderful music to be produced.
Unfortunately I actually just joined facebook recently. My professional field is a rather small one, and there are strong and established profesional groups on there that greatly benefit me that only exist on facebook. The older people in my field are unlikely to switch to anything newer. Set in their ways and what not. I am desperately looking for a job at the moment so I’d something I sorta have to grin and bear. I have an ad block and I don’t even post or engage with any of the crap on there though.
Is there any real benefit to deleting the account? I don’t see what harm a dead account could do. I have a instagram account that has my real name on it, and I’d hate to have someone potentially impersonate me. I instead posted a link to my personal website and also linked my Bluesky account in the bio, stating that I will no longer be using instagram or regularly checking it.
I had someone post in the r/saskatchewan subreddit about lemmy.ca, and I had forgotten all about lemmy or that I even had an account on here already until they mentioned it.
Other social media sucks for sure, but OP has a point here. Lemmy is still at the stage where people only enter if they are told/reminded it exists. I genuinely thought lemmy died already. People finding lemmy naturally is very unlikely at this stage. It’s word of mouth, so the people here gotta start wording and mouthing about it.
