Millions of Americans can now claim Canadian citizenship by descent. But they have to prove it | CBC News Amid rising tensions in the United States and increased global volatility, many Americans are looking to Canada — and their roots — for a possible way out following recent changes to Canada’s citizens...

Reminder: Bill C-3 came into effect just recently in Canada.

“Lost Canadians” are those who lost their citizenship from marrying a non-Canadian.

Their descendants are now automatically Canadians. Is that you?

Then you need to prove it. But a lot of people are getting theirs approved.

As a short adult (157 cm) most new trucks have hoods over my head.
They can’t see me, or most kids under 12.

I wonder how many meals @wck.org could serve with 93B?
Or how many doses of vaccines or medication could be given to prevent & treat illnesses?

This was on Granville, in Vancouver, BC @ Balfour intersection. Red traffic light. Thankfully no one on bike or in a car crossing, just me who was able to stop walking on time.
Around 20:15, good visibility.

To the man who drove his truck over the speed limit on a well established RED light without even slowing down: Shame on you!!
Decades of walking/riding in cities gave me that 6th sense of knowing when a driver won’t stop (or slow down in this case) at a RED light even with at least 200m to go.

I’m not a big curling guy, but I get the significance of this, and WOW it’s mind-blowing. Some are calling it the best shot in curling history! #TeamCanada at the #ParalympicGames.

This is correct. The entire goal of being a scientist is to disseminate your findings and knowledge to as many people as possible. This is also how we are awarded grants and maintain academic positions.

If that doesn’t ring a bell and scare you, please go read a 20th century history book… especially if you are not a tall white man.

This is eugenics. Genocide. An attack on science, medical ethics, bodily autonomy, and human rights.

Where is the outcry from the biomedical community? Trans people aren't just abstract patients and research participants: We're your friends, family, and co-workers.

Speak up before it's too late
