Canada

Salut, fellow Canadians! I moved to Korea many years ago, and up until recently, I had done any international shopping via Amazon.

I'm looking for a few things and am in need of help:

1. I need a shipping service that is Canadian owned that I can use to forward parcels to Korea, effectively replacing Amazon's shipping.

2. I'm in search of Canadian made bedding.

3. I worked in George Richards/Grafton many moons ago, so I know they're probably my best bet for big and tall clothes, but am looking to see if anything else has become an option since I left.

4. Shoes... I'm a 16EEE sized shoe... I don't even know where to begin to find replacements for my boats-for-feet coverings. I've even tried local cobblers here in Korea with no success.

Any ideas?

Rising tensions between Canada and the United States have made increased military investment and a renewed focus on national defence all but inevitable.

A recent Angus Reid poll found three in four Canadians want to see the country’s military strengthened in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to annex Canada as the 51st state. In early March, former prime minister Justin Trudeau committed publicly to increasing military spending.

While it makes sense for a country feeling vulnerable to invasion to look at recruiting new soldiers and increasing its arsenal, there is an additional facet of national defence that is too often overlooked: food preparedness.

Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs are already “stoking a new nationalism” in Canadians and sparking interest in buying local, but food should be part of the national defence conversation, too.

Egg interceptions up 116% so far this year, while seizures of fentanyl down 32%

Canada is in advanced talks with the European Union to join the bloc’s new project to expand its military industry, a move that would allow Canada to be part of building European fighter jets and other military equipment at its own industrial facilities.

The budding defense cooperation between Canada and the European Union, which is racing to shore up its industry to lower reliance on the United States, would boost Canada’s military manufacturers and offer the country a new market at a time when its relationship with the United States has become frayed.

Shaken by a crisis in the two nations’ longstanding alliance since President Trump’s election, Canada has started moving closer to Europe. The military industry collaboration with the European Union highlights how traditional U.S. allies are deepening their ties without U.S. participation to insulate themselves from Mr. Trump’s unpredictable moves.

Egg interceptions up 116% so far this year, while seizures of fentanyl down 32%

Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest person on the planet, Donald Trump.

The orange idiot is trying to reverse psychology a country filled with people who are much smarter than he is.

Yukon-born, BC resident Jasmine Mooney describes the horrifying experience.

The energy executives called for a simplification of regulation and a commitment to firm deadlines for project approvals.

They also want an elimination of the federal government's cap on emissions, the repeal of the federal carbon levy on large emitters and loan guarantees to help Indigenous co-investment opportunities.

Trump continually says the war in Ukraine is horrible, soldiers and civilians are dying everyday and he hates to see suffering and dying over there.

Well, has he thought what would happen if the USA tried to annex Canada? There would be people dying, there would be soldiers AND civilians killed, it would be just as bad, if not worse than Ukraine.

Canadians will FIGHT for our country. We will kill and die for our country if we have to, just like any other country defending an attack on their sovereignty.

Why hasn’t any reporters even asked him this question??

Keeping cultural works locked away for decades restricts access and stifles creativity. Reform is needed to restore public domain access.

Des activistes de Last Generation Canada ont été arrêtés mercredi matin pour avoir vandalisé un concessionnaire Tesla à Montréal, s’opposant aux milliardaires, comme Elon Musk, qui «détruisent l’avenir».

Les deux partisans ont lancé de la peinture rose sur la devanture du concessionnaire Tesla, situé sur la rue Ferrier à Montréal.

Le groupe a d’ailleurs exigé au Canada de s’opposer au patron de Tesla, Elon Musk, notant qu’il «détruit les démocraties et propage le déni climatique», peut-on lire dans un communiqué de Last Generation Canada.

«Nous avons pris action aujourd'hui, car nous ne pouvons plus supporter de voir le profit prendre priorité sur la vie. Les milliardaires et les ultra-riches sont en train de détruire notre avenir pour leur propre gain», a commenté un des activistes, Marcel Paré.

Quant à la seconde militante qui a participé au coup d’éclat, Valérie Lachapelle, elle estime que les ultra-riches seraient en grande partie responsables de la crise climatique.

«On ne se laissera pas mourir pour les grandes compagnies. On ne laissera pas les ultra-riches décider de notre sort, a dit la femme de 21 ans. On doit sortir dehors et déranger le petit train-train du quotidien pour qu'on se fasse vraiment entendre.»

Quelques minutes après avoir effectué leur coup d’éclat, les autorités ont procédé à l’arrestation des deux activistes.
