#Canada’s new fentanyl ‘czar’ says the border bill will help in fight against drug and his US counterparts are pleased.
The #Trump admin had used the ‘Emergency’ of Fentanyl from Canada as the reason to impose tariffs.
Canada is actually thought to be source of less than 1% of US #Fentanyl.

Mr. Laffy and I just had lunch with some friends here in #Canada, and they told us of 2 separate incidents at the border (coming into the US)--- white people who they know personally-- where the border officials demanded to know who the people supported politically. Oh, not Trump? They refused them entry, told them they couldn't come in for 5 years.
I know there must be more details that I'm forgetting, but that's the gist. Can't answer questions if you have any.

#Canada to expedite nation-building projects to counter #Trump admin border and tariff threats
« PM Carney said his plan is to narrow down a list of so-called "nation building" projects - like pipelines, nuclear reactors and trade corridors - and create a framework in which the projects would be approved in under two years' time. »
I’m very glad to hear some US states are still sending help to battle the wildfires in Canada.
“Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said firefighters, emergency crews and aircraft from other provinces and U.S. states, including Alaska, Oregon and Arizona, were being sent to help fight the blazes.”
Marc Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut to go to space, has died at age 76. Garneau flew on three NASA Space Shuttle missions. He later became president of the Canadian Space Agency, then an MP and minister in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet. Here's more from @GlobalNews .

The story of this exodus—of men and women who had once been enslaved—is one of harrowing survival. The Black Loyalists fled to the British not out of fealty to a distant crown, but because the British offered what the American Republic did not: freedom. And now, in the winter of 1782, they waited. Waited to see whether freedom, once granted, could be taken back.

不知道谁会用到也不知道多大适用范围的一点生活经验
碰到过一个不负责任的租客（漏水不管、拖欠租金）导致某月收到了800+水电费单（平时是200左右），租客连租金都不交了就更别指望他们交水电费了。
提醒我漏水的是水电公司，打电话说看 bill 高得异常，提醒我修了之后找他们申请退款，说一年有一次机会为漏水申请退款。我找师傅修好后打电话过去，客服提醒我说因为一年机会只有一次，第二个月的账单里可能还会有漏水时期的用量，建议我多等一个月。
我多等了一个月，再打电话过去，说已经恢复到她们觉得合理的用量了，给我申请了退款。
不是水电公司提醒我根本不会知道原来租客/业主自己的问题导致的漏水也可以申请退一次的……不知道是个别现象还是行业平均，总之分享一下 
This summer I'm offering several one-day photography tours on Vancouver Island. Spend the day in the temperate rainforest amongst giant moss-covered trees and lush fern and on the rugged coast where wildlife is busy caring for their offspring.
Tours are limited to 3 participants for a better experience and reduced impact on the wildlife and ecosystems. Learn more: https://www.catherinebabault.com/workshops

#KingCharles III arrives in Ottawa on Monday to underscore #Canada’s #sovereignty to #Trump.
Trump’s repeated suggestion that the US #annex its northern neighbor prompted Prime Minister #MarkCarney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne that will outline his government’s agenda for the new Parliament. The king is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.

#Canada won’t become the 51st US state – but could it join the EU?
"The True North is indeed strong and free," said King Charles in his throne speech at the opening of the Canadian parliament today. This was only the third time in Canada's history a monarch has delivered the address, which is usually given by the governor general. Charles was there at the request of Prime Minister of Mark Carney and referenced Canada's unique identity and a renewal of "national pride, unity and hope" in a speech that underlined the country's sovereignty in the face of U.S. President Trump's "51st state" threats.

BREAKING: Trump said on Tuesday that it would cost Canada $61 billion to be part of his proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system, but that it would be free if the country became the 51st U.S. state.
In unrelated news, Canadians haven’t stopped laughing at Trump and his Republican band of red asshats since the announcement.

#Trump’s actions & statements suggest he might be envisioning a world in which each of the 3 so-called great powers—the #UnitedStates, #China & #Russia—dominates its part of the globe, #ForeignPolicy analysts say.
It would be a throwback to a 19th-century style of #imperial rule.
Trump has said he wants to take #Greenland from Denmark, annex #Canada & re-establish American control of the #PanamaCanal.…extend[ing] US dominance in the Western Hemisphere….

Let’s admit it. Trump’s ‘golden dome’ is gonna be another bust just like Mexico paying for the six miles of wall Trump actually got built the first time he was in the WH.
That $170 billion price tag will be bringing out Republican frauds and grifts faster than ants to spilled honey. And nothing will be built.

The Walrus:
Canada must now confront the very real possibility that the current US federal government could eventually use critical minerals and water as a pretext to take control of North American territory it considers critical to its future security and affluence. . . . Canada, like our friends in Greenland and Panama, must now hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Gaelic in Scotland, Gaelic in Canada: Challenges, Prospects, Connections
26 June
free online
Many Scots are not aware of how widely spoken Gaelic once was in Scotland, & most Canadians don’t know that at the time of Confederation, Gaelic was likely the third most widely-spoken language in Canada.
Prof Robert Dunbar will explore efforts by activists, communities & governments to support the language & its speakers in both countries.
