forgive my patriotism
but since you live in Canada do you know French? or like is French apart of the culture there bc that’s like a stereotype I learned
that and maple syrup
noooooo not the patriotism
I don't ~know~ French; I took French for six years growing up but I know like, bare minimum conversational French. We technically have two official languages in the country (English and French), but the only province that is truly bilingual is New Brunswick. Like, you need to be fluent in both languages to work at McDonalds sort of dealies (my heroes).
So I would go as far to say that most people born in Canada aren't fluent in French (quick google search told me only 22.8% of the population speaks French lol)
Quebec is pretty much primarily French, and there are a lot of Acadian communities in Atlantic Canada that speak French as well.
And I feel like maple syrup isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be? In elementary school we'd go to the sugarbush's (where maple syrup is harvested) and they'd pour the hot syrup into the snow on a popsicle stick which hardened it into like a lollipop lol so that was always fun. But now it's just something you put on pancakes/waffles 🤷🏻‍♀️

Where do I even begin? I'm appalled. The Canadian government living up to its roots in colonial-settler violence... this is beyond criminal. Contact your MP's. This erasure and anti-Palestinian racism is unacceptable.
For anyone reading this on or after February 26th, 2024 -here is more information/updates:

🇵🇸🇨🇦 The vandalism of a landmark Palestinian flag street art in Montreal by Zionists is a despicable act. However, the resilience of Palestinian youth, who are restoring it to its former glory, is inspiring. This reaffirms the unwavering commitment to the cause of a Free Palestine.

yo Canadians!
Do you think the price of shit is too damn expensive? Do you think that disabled people should get better help with the cost of living?
Behold: This petition
This petition is calling for a CERB-type payment for disabled people ("DERB") to help them bridge the gap while the govt works on creating a better disability assistance system - currently planned for 2025 (but it has been delayed before, so we shall see...)
Disability income ranges greatly from province to province, but it's always WELL below the poverty line. The way things are, disability payments are so pathetic that none are sufficient enough to cover even the cost of rent. This year, barely any are sufficient enough to cover even HALF the rent... so, roommates? Not a solution anymore.
Where I live, the assistance my partner got was $850 a month in 2017. This year, had they still been on it, they would have gotten $950.
The average rent here in 2017 - $900/mo
The average rent here in 2023 - $1800/mo
It's rough out there.
Anyway, thanks for reading this, here's a pic of my cat Bean :) Hreef.

"On the 18th of April, four weeks into their eight week strike mandate, AGSEM members voted by 75% to ratify the tentative agreement with McGill. They reached this agreement by, among other things, removing demands related to trans issues."
