This. I personally have no plan going to usa now and in the future. Unfortunately some Canadians may still have to go for work related trips. Just be aware that you may or may not need to register in the new "Alien Registration Requirement".

Cult MTL: …we remind you Canada’s mainstream media still chooses not to fact-check Pierre Poilievre. Poilievre has benefitted immensely from legacy media’s inability to challenge conservative bullies
Also PP, when are you going to complete your security clearance? What are you hiding?

My checked luggage used to be searched when I went to usa. I knew it was searched because tsa would leave a pamphlet inside my luggage saying that it was searched. I believe they have stopped leaving such pamphlet but I won't be surprised if they still search luggages.

Conservative contestant claims to be an engineer — he’s not
Reply in thread
I am a P. Eng. in Ontario, Canada. It's "Professional Engineer" license. As someone else has mentioned, you can be a mechanical engineer, a software engineer, an electrical engineer etc and a P. Eng. The requirement for P. Eng is passing an Engineering Ethics exam, receiving an engineering degree from accepted universities/college (doesn't have to be a Canadian school) and completing an certain number of years of Canadian engineering work experience (ie. the work must be qualified as engineering type work, and must be in Canada). Now, I received my P. Eng more than a decade ago so the rules may or may not change.
Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) is our organization which regulates the exams and licensing. It is also a sort of watch dog which ensures that engineers are ethical and don't cut corners. PEO also provides networking (they may organize a plant tour or conferences etc) and volunteering activities for engineers. We, engineers, pay annual fees/dues to PEO but if you work for an engineering company, your company may pay your dues for you.

I agree with you. Conservative bias in mainstream media is apparent to all except the willfully blind. Especially Financial Post. I stopped reading their garbage more than a decade ago. And I'm not touching Toronto Sun with anything.

I have a question for you, do you actually need REAL ID to travel domestically?

Taco/fElon are Russia's friends/assets. They and their gop/maga supporters need to be kicked out of the usa government. Hopefully then, usa will return to Ukraine's side.

Carney May Be Better Than Poilievre, But Serious Issues Remain

My riding is a conservative stronghold, but I'm still going to vote for my local Liberal candidate. As soon as Election Canada received my local Liberal candidate's nomination application, I'm planning to scrape together some funds and donate to them.

He already did. Most likely this is what the new usa-russia economic partnership is all about. Krasnov is betting papa putin will save him once again.

I feel like I've plateaued
How about building connections/community? Getting to know your neighbours? I know this is not easy as I am an introvert and believe me, I struggle with this but I have made it my goal to get to know my neighbours better this year. If/when the really hard times come, neighbours may become our lifeline and vice versa. I would also like to suggest we show more support for local community programs such as libraries and food banks, or perhaps consider volunteering? Perhaps through a provincial volunteer program such as Ontario Corps?

I too live in a very conservative area but I will still be voting and I will be voting Liberal. Voting is my right and responsibility as a citizen and I intend to exercise my right regardless of what others do.

Danielle Smith falsely claims Canada has ‘the lowest living standards in the world’
Reply in thread
I agree with you. Conservatives purposely being vague all the time so they can deny their words later. They are purposely being vague so their base can then "fill in the blanks" with whatever spin they wish.

Until I feel that usa can be trusted to be an ally and not an invader, I'm going to continue boycotting usa, tariff or no tariff. Unfortunately, once the trust is broken, it's hard to repair.

Alberta and Saskatchewan are the sunniest provinces in Canada. If they embrace solar energy, they could be the Solar Capital of Canada.
But, think of those poor, poor big oil CEOs! /s

Forget about Musk’s citizenship, enforce the Canada Elections Act. Protecting democracy is precisely what the legislation is for ...it forbids undue influence from foreigners | National Magazine
As part of enforcing Canada Elections Act, we should make sure that all prime minister candidates complete security clearance.
I wonder what pp has to hide?

This may or may not help you, but what I do is: store my reusable bags with my shoes, so every time I reach for a pair of shoes before I leave the house, I could also grab a bag.
