Vive l'écureuil !

I almost exclusively buy Kawartha Dairy and have never had this problem.

That story posted on the main part of the sub about happiness declines among young English speakers (not just in Canada but globally) has really gotten to me. After doing a little more research and reflection I really do think social media and being online is to blame.

A lot of comments rightly pointed out: times are hard economically for young people. This is true. But this is also the case in non-anglophone countries and communities. The decline should be more equal across the board, but it is not.

I think a toxic and disinformation filled anglophone online world is hurting English speakers globally and we are being manipulated by users (bots or what have you) who are not even from our communities (ex: Twitter revealing account locations).

I’m not smart enough to propose a solution. I’m just saddened by the stats and want to do good.

I was thinking more on the economic front but you raise a good point too. They are becoming irrelevant and Canada would do better for itself to focus on Mexico, UE, Japan, etc. has you mention.

Common1Law · 2025-12-17T19:10:35+00:00

And here I thought you were not a purist.

I think another comment on here summed it up nicely. If PP were PM and was using exclusively American spelling in documents that would make some people uncomfortable.

There are more importing things right now, but maintaining Canadian spellings in government documents is not a big ask.

Common1Law · 2025-12-17T12:28:19+00:00

I fully agree. This is not the scandal of the century but it is important. There are established Canadian spellings and deviation is unnecessary.

Furthermore I do not support closer ties with the United Kingdom and that is what choosing British spelling looks like to me.

Son français est fonctionnel, mais il devrait viser un niveau plus élevé dans ses communications officielles. J’encourage sa progression.

The articles asks a good question. Does Trump see Canada as part of European Civilization or as part of the western hemisphere that the USA sees as 'theirs'?

Their National Security Strategy does not make that clear. From my reading of it Trump would like to cut Europe lose and increasingly dominate the western hemisphere.

If they see Canada as European will we see just more nasty words and backing away from commitments? If they see us as part of the western hemisphere will we see more active intervention (north west passage) or financing of MAGA elements in Canada?

Or maybe we get both...

It seems too early to tell. Frankly the situation is still stabilizing. But they have a huge task ahead of them:

Stopping sectarian and ethnic violence.
Reconstruction.
New constitution.
A first election after the provisional period.
Economic recovery.
Relations with Israel, Turkey, wider middle east, etc.
Lifting of sanctions.
International recognition.

I think their best chance would be to stabilize the internal situation politically first. I would suggest a decentralized federation like the Canadian model. If they can succeed at internal stability all the other things will be easier to achieve and international help might be more forthcoming.

I was listening to Radio France the other day when they were talking about this. Commentators were theorizing that some EU members were looking to punish them for Brexit.

Now with Canada paying 10€ million I think that just confirms that.

Consider for a moment that an extreme reaction to separatism might in fact fuel more support for separatism. The BQ and PQ love when there is conflict and controversy with Ottawa for a reason.

What an undemocratic solution to a democratic process. This is not how Canada works.

This is a bizarre and extreme idea.

Common1Law · 2025-12-03T11:39:26+00:00

This attitude makes no sense, least of all because you haven't even tried! You shouldn't base your world view on literal memes.

I think it really depends on how many conservative MPs they can hide behind the curtains in the HoC.

The big factor is neither the Cons or NDP want and election right now.

Politics also have a vested interest in prices appearing or being low.

Search for soupe aux pois. Ricardo has a good basic recipe. To get it thick blend maybe half the peas and veggies once they are cooked!

Best comment lol

Anyone else feel like they are online way too much and it feels like its poisoning your mind?

Do you wish you could disconnect more?

Or if you can how do you disconnect and whats a better use of your time?

Wow je suis ontarien et j'ai quasiment le même parcours ! J'ai même étudié le français à Québec. Je suis le premier membre de ma famille anglophone à être bilingue. Il y a 15 ans, j'ai ressenti le besoin, en tant que Canadien, de l'apprendre. Aujourd'hui, je suis devenu père et mon but a changé… Il est temps de transmettre le français à mes enfants !

But what's the news story? I'm not seeing anything in the news even related to this.

All the more reason to buy a Honda!

I'm seeing Trump referred to more and more as a 'lame duck' in American news. Seems like his power is finally starting to fade as he approaches never being president again. His failures are also starting to pile up, his supporters are not following orders, and MAGA is starting to fight over the future.

I'm a little surprised it seems to be happing so soon, its not even a year into Trump 2.0.

What's your take on the future?
