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 β€” and their roots β€” for a possible way out following recent changes to Canada’s citizens...

This is not true. C3 does NOT go back multiple generations

It allows children born or adopted abroad to Canadian parents (who were also born/adopted abroad) to automatically become citizens, provided the parent spent 1,095 days (3 years) in Canada.

Quebec's femicide rate rises amid systemic failure for victims of gender-based violence Quebec has seen more than one femicide per week in January alone, a systemic failure for victims of gender-based, intimate-partner violence.

On this International Women's Day, a reminder that intimate-partner violence has tripled in Quebec over the past decade, and the CAQ refuses to allocate the funds needed for adequate shelter space.

This is a systemic failure.

A detail from a front page advertisement in the Ottawa Daily Citizen, March 15, 1871 edition. It says "The St. Lawrence & Ottawa Railway. The shortest and quickest route from Ottawa to Toronto and Montreal. Commencing 8th March, trains will run as follows." The rest of the ad provides the timetable for trains connecting from Ottawa with the Grand Trunk Railway at Prescott, Ontario.

Will Cuba be the invasion that triggers world war 3, like Hitler’s invasion of Poland finally triggered WW 2 or will it be the next country invaded that finally does this?

These are thoughts that make my Sunday far less restful.

Trump has made billions from the presidency and he is now using the services for our military dead as an opportunity to sell his branded merchandise (the cap). He should not be wearing headwear of any kind at this moment, let alone something he sells on the internet. This is indecent.

The Oligarchical Corridor A Source of War

If we examine the origins of the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or β€œfederalize” the coming Congressional elections.
