Honestly I'm just curious as to how many- if any that people actually know or remember. Some of these even by Canadian Standards I think are obscure.

Pick which one is your favourite- or at minimum go with what you know heh.

Anthony Paradis: Yours » 2024 Junior World Championships

In response to the freeze on immigration programmes announced by Ottawa, an organization that defends the rights of immigrants is organising a demonstration in front of the Montreal office of the Quebec Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration early on Saturday afternoon. To limit the number of permanent immigrants to Quebec, the CAQ government announced in October that it would freeze the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) graduate stream and the Regular Skilled Worker Program (PRTQ) - which is to become the Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ) - until next June, by no longer accepting new applications for Certificats de Sélection du Québec (CSQ).

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skating their original dance at the 2007 Canadian National Championships and, with a different flower, at the 2007 World Championships. Their music was Luis Bacalov's Assassination Tango.

Current fear that has lodged deep into my soul: Everyone keeps reassuring me that it's not impossible to get accepted into PhD programs without first doing a Master's, and I want to trust them. But when I actually go and look at grad student profiles at the schools I'm applying to, they almost all have M.As or the equivalent. One of the professors I was interested in working with even outright told me that I should look into getting an M.A. first.

I cannot afford an M.A. -- I am the sole provider for both myself and my very disabled partner who cannot work. It's PhD or bust, and I'm very scared I'm wasting my time applying for these programs. And that I may be locked out of a career path I'd really love entirely because I don't have the money for it.

The Save-Ums!

Not gonna lie this is the weirdest show I've watched when I was a kid. The characters are very uniquely shaped it looks like something from a dream.

The show realesed in 2003.

went to a talk by jeremy hansen, the canadian astronaut that will be on artemis II, and i think his mission patch might be one of my new favourites

Yeah that's right, a political post.

I'm very happy the Liberals won in Canada, but it's looking like a minority government.

Of course the hayseeds in my town elected a guy who is for conversion therapy, hates women, minorities, and is an all-round gross trustfund puke baby, yet again because a con candidate in this area could be a literal blue potato and they'd vote for it.

Sigh.

Hi. Sorry to bother you. Was just wondering if you were working on anything Ted lasso at the moment? I've been rereading all your works! They're my fav

Thank you for the ask, I'm always happy to take questions! Unfortunately I continue to be incapable of working on more than one fic at a time, and at the moment, the one fic is my original sci-fi novel Arson and Other Fires. That being said, I do have ~4 TL fics in various stages of planning and might either take a break between parts 1 and 2 of AaOF to work on them, or take another stab at doing the multiple WIPs thing once I'm free from the admittedly self-imposed torment nexus that is applying to PhD programs.

Here's what I have outlined for 5 times someone suspected something was up with Jamie, +1 time they said something about it:

One (season 1): who remembers their first drink of alcohol, anyway?

Two (2x03ish): Sam mentions he got the idea for the Dubai Air protest because his dad was upset the team had them as a sponsor, and suddenly Jamie's being... weird every time he gets a phone call from Ola

Three: Things are weird after Wembley. Isaac tries to be a good captain.

Four: In which Roy feels bad for slapping food out of Jamie's hand, and Jamie doesn't understand why

Five: Jamie's depressed and talkative

+One: Jamie comes back form Manchester with a manic energy and a head full of stories about his dad. Everyone else is alarmed

'It mustn't happen again. The RIPE program must be stopped! This isn't the same thing, you understand. It's not the same thing at all. It's different.

The first time was an accident. Fortunate for some. Unfortunate for others. The RIPE program is cold and cruel. Very cold... Very cruel...' - ruth

So this week I am in Washington DC with the program I manage. And here's the positive takeaway from every meeting so far: Trump has had to backtrack on almost all of his insane executive orders because of widespread, *bipartisan* backlash.

Thanks to this insane monster trying to rule by executive order, many people are suddenly looking at federal, state, and public services and going "we care about these and we're going to protect them." So while not all is well and it's awful how we got here, there is a positive outcome. People who never thought twice about the impact of civil service and public programs before now care about them in an immediate and real way.

(Icymi, I manage an executive masters in public administration– the students are all mid-career public officials, administrators, etc. Think city managers, transit engineers, water policy strategists, etc. AKA the exact kind of people all these shenanigans are currently affecting.)

I don’t want to leave the U.S. I don’t want to move to another country by myself. That shit scares the fuck out of me. But we’re literally being overthrown by a fascist regime. I gotta get out.

Just saying, if Citytv was to do me a solid and renew Hudson and Rex on my birthday...

I would still not like them because I'm not that easily bought and that's not nearly enough to make me see them in a good light.

i do get the point of that post tho. “leftist” populists are very very easy to turn anti immigrant .
