I'm feeling worried about where Canada is gonna go politically with Trump winning.....

Yeah, I'm concerned because for the past couple years federal polling has been leaning heavily to towards the Conservative Party of Canada, and this party has been dancing with the far right a lot.

I mean at least we don’t have a winner takes all political system like the US does. I feel people forget that

Though, we do have majority governments which aren't that different.

Sometimes 39% of the vote is all you need to give an extreme right wing party unlimited power with basically no checks and balances.

Which almost happened in BC recently, and did happen in Saskatchewan. It happened multiple times in Ontario giving Doug Ford to power to do anything he wants.

Given Trump's promise of mass deportations, do you think we can expect America's undocumented immigrants to try and seek asylum in Canada?

Maybe, but unfortunately Trudeau has been giving concessions to the far right and decreasing immigration.

If we want Canada to help Americans, we need to elect the NDP. The Liberals and Conservatives are 2 sides of the same coin.

it would be nice if we could actually get electoral reform and ditch first-past-the-post, but no governing federal party would be willing to do that because they would lose their power (looking @ u, trudeau)

All servers and computer access will also be shut off in addition to the closure of library locations.

The plaintiffs argue First Nations have a basic human right to clean water that Canada has violated, describing the conditions facing their communities as "an urgent human rights crisis." In its statement of defence, Canada argues the government supports the delivery of potable water for First Nations as a discretionary political decision, calling it "a matter of good governance rather than legal duty." "Canada does not owe any legal obligations or duties to operate and maintain the plaintiffs' water systems," says the statement of defence.

British Columbia saw a rare unanimous vote in its legislature in October 2019, when members passed a law adopting the United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, setting out standards including free, prior and informed consent for actions affecting them. The law “fundamentally changed the relationship” between First Nations and the province, said Terry Teegee, regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations. [...] John Rustad threw his support behind the legislation as a member of the Official Opposition B.C. Liberal Party, but as the B.C. Conservative leader he has since signalled his intention to “repeal” the law if his party wins the Oct. 19 provincial election.

House Speaker Greg Fergus docked questions from Pierre Poilievre on Thursday after the Conservative leader declined to withdraw comments he made in the House of Commons last week. "The chair has offered the leader of the Official Opposition the opportunity to make amends regarding the words he used," Fergus said just before question period. "Having not received such a commitment on his part and the member having not withdrawn his comments, I will therefore remove three questions from the leader of the Official Opposition." During question period last week, Poilievre used his opening round of questions to criticize both the Bloc Québécois and NDP for not supporting his motion to topple the Liberal government.

at some point we gotta acknowledge that getting the majority of your news and takes and general opinions from tumblr is not meaningfully different than getting it from tiktok even though on here it's in textual form. understanding the world through the lens of viral videos vs understanding it through breathless unsourced text posts written by dykeastarion69

For decades, JNF Canada had received charity status from Canada’s Revenue Agency (CRA), but this August, the CRA officially revoked it.  After an audit, the CRA concluded that the JNF Canada used tax-exempt money to fund Israeli army bases, which is illegal under Canadian law. It also found the organization couldn’t prove how Canadian money was used in Israel, and did not justify why financial records were only kept in Israel, among other disqualifying concerns. Palestinian solidarity advocates in Canada have long campaigned for this outcome, pointing to the charity’s role in building parks over Palestinian land and its discriminatory leasing of land within Israel. For years dogged by CRA investigators, JNF Canada had pledged to the tax revenue agency in 2021 that it “will not fund projects in the disputed territories.” But the paper trail simply became more hidden.
