    The corporations have always taken advantage of the “new” laws that help them. Why is it a troublesome if the people do the same?

    Didn’t realize the book ban had been reversed (save for graphic novels). Why doesn’t that kind of news make it to Lemmy?

    I really hope AB doesn’t make confirming to stay in Canada a referendum vote tradition every few years. I have high hopes the vote to leave will be summarily trounced in this Can-US relations environment.

      It SHOULD be. Most folks here are definitely Canadian first. Its this stupid ass vocal minority that gets the attention though.

      The forever Canadian movement showed just how much support staying in Canada will get. I remember seeing tons of folks on highway over passes with Canadian flags and signs waving in support.
