How Halloween compares to other celebrations in Canada by participation rate: 🇨🇦 • Christmas: ~87% • Thanksgiving: ~65% • Halloween: ~60% • New Year’s: ~55% • Canada Day: ~50% • Easter: ~45% • Diwali: ~18% More Canadians show up for spooky costumes and free candy than for their own nation’s birthday. 🇨🇦💀

Welcome to the city of construction … it used to be the city of champions. At least this one keeps people from leaving downtown rather than from getting there.

Hey @grok, name 10 Canadian cities that will be significantly worse places to live by 2050. Consider affordability, crime, economic decline and quality of life. Be ruthless.

More importantly, the number of asylum claimants in Canada is absolutely off the chain. Just five years ago, it was 160,000. It's now *500,000.* And these are the worst kinds of immigrants: The ones most likely to do crime, be on welfare, to hold extremist beliefs.

I was actually really surprised to discover that the number of foreign workers in Canada is *higher than it's ever been.* All Carney has done is slow the intake (and even that's still pretty high).

My experience 100% of the time, Canadian customs officers make me feel guilty even when I haven't done anything wrong!

Canadian customs officers behave worse to Canadians than American officers do, and it’s not even close.

It was pleasure to join Canada Strong and Free Network to discuss our country’s judicial system. Canada’s activist judges need to depoliticize themselves or else be held accountable to the standard an elected official is. @canstrongfree

I remember when I was in high school I joined a social justice club and spent the time arguing against their Marxist/leftist ways until they booted me out. 😜
