#Canadian border

The year was 1982 . . . this was the PCT monument at the Canadian border. Lots of cotton represented in the clothing choices. This cast of characters from left to right - Rees Hughes, Amy Uyeki, Howard Shapiro, and Steve Gustaveson.

In 1988, a more elaborate monument was installed. This classic photo does an excellent job of capturing the border scar.

The monument has been significantly upgraded (as have the clothes) since. In 2018 the North 350 Blades retained the 1988 design but built and installed a new version.

The Canadian Purge

America decides to have one night a year dedicated to lawlessness. The rest of the world, however, doesn't really notice. Canada hardens its borders for 24 hours, but everyone not on the border just sort of lives their lives without focusing on the chaos going on in the U.S.

Canada is a closed country. Not even the British (the place that owned us) can just show up and be let in. Your country is free to close its borders if it wants to. Canada did this because of the massive amounts of human trafficking that happened through us. Oddly enough countries can make whatever laws and policies it wants.

tourism entry agreements for many countries are completely unbalanced and unfair. did you know that people with a canadian passport can go to malaysia without applying for a visa / obtain an automatic tourism visa upon arrival, but if you have a malaysian passport you have to apply in advance for a tourism visa to go to canada? sometimes months in advance? any canadian can just show up to malaysia unannounced and they'll be let in, but my malaysian family has to beg the canadian gov for permission in advance (and get DENIED) just to come see me for a couple weeks. this is what it's like for most western passport holders in general, just because you are allowed free entry to the global south does not mean people in the global south are allowed free entry to the global north.

Mass Shooting and a Manhunt in Maine

A mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine left at least 18 people dead in a restaurant and a bowling alley on Wednesday. The incident has triggered a major search for Robert Card, a person of interest who is a trained firearms instructor. Authorities have urged residents to remain in their homes, while schools have declared closures for safety. The search for the suspect has extended to both land and…

Question for Americans who genuinely will not be voting or are choosing to vote third party, what do you think will happen to you if the Republicans win? You cannot realistically fight for others if you yourself are in a bad situation. Genuinely, what do you think will happen when protections for marginalized people are rolled back?

Do you think you will actually be able to protest anything, let alone stuff not happening on US soil like the war in Gaza? We already see heavily armed police at protests and it's just been getting worse. I'm struggling to find the logic in not voting for the only viable option that won't kill you. I'm aware it's maintaining a shitty status quo but that's better than the alternative, isn't it?

Content Warning for graphic depictions of violence and discussion of the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Maher Alanqar sat and watched his nephew suffer. The video — shot by a CBC News freelancer — captured every scream, every spasm as 10-year-old Adam Abu Ajwa called out for help after the home where he was sheltering with his parents and siblings in Khan Younis, Gaza was hit by a grenade on Jan. 17. Adam suffered third-degree burns; his older sister Zeina, 26, escaped with burns and broken bones after being trapped under rubble for hours. They were the only ones in the house to survive. Their mother Hana and oldest brother Amr died and were buried in the courtyard of Nasser Hospital, one of the main hospitals in the central Gaza Strip. Alanqar's mouth twitched with every scream as he watched doctors work to treat the boy's wounds without anesthesia. He told CBC News on Feb. 4 he had applied to get his sister and her kids out of Gaza under a special immigration measures program for extended family members of Palestinian Canadians. They were waiting for news when their home was hit.

i love From because they'll obsess over where the wires go and why the phones and radios don't work properly, but none of them mention the biggest red flag that this is Someone Doing This To Them which is that every person in town was transported there from somewhere in the contiguous United States
