My wife is Canadian and her parents still live in Quebec but she hasn’t lived in Canada in a couple decades. Her parents are getting older now and I’ve been thinking it might be helpful to put a Canadian eSIM as a second line on her phone so she can get calls more easily from agencies/hospitals/doctors/etc. Often these groups will say they can call a US number or they don’t know if it will work (I think it’s more confusing since the US and Canada share the same country code), but only sometimes will she get calls, so I think it might be helpful to have a more local number.
So I am around as far north/as “cold” (a.k.a “least hot") as I can get for any large, major city, south of the southern border. So there are no more large, major cities that have less hot summers than the one I am in right now, except for those that are in Canada.
I got a plastic straw at Tim’s for the first time in like two to three years. Is the single-use plastic prohibition thing not happening anymore, or is this just a store using old plastic straws they had previously purchased?
If you walked down the street and saw a Canadian wearing a “51st State” shirt, what would be your reaction(s), and what would you do if anything at all?
The Carbon Tax was a major part of Trudeau’s downfall near the end of his term. Why did he have such a hard-on for the Carbon Tax? Why didn’t he cancel it when he had a chance and maybe salvage his political career? Why did Carney scrap it on his first day?
We could start fundraising to do the legal paperwork and buy a tower in a provincial capital then start the plans. Anyone who funds and/or works gets a share and the right to vote in the cooperative’s affairs.
The federal government recently passed two bills into law, C-244 and C-294. These make it not a copyright violation to break or bypass a digital access control to software/hardware you own have legitimate access to, for the purposes of diagonstics/maintenance/repair, and interoperability respectively.

For me it’s Corner Gas. I still think it’s pretty funny and there’s a decent amount of references to Canadian stuff but not enough to be off-putting. I feel like an American wouldn’t be confused watching it even if some of the references get a bit dated overtime.
I live in a small city pretty far from any major centres so I make use of Amazon from time to time. Does anyone know of any good Canadian alternatives?
