I found this, too: CBC Music’s Top 100 Canadian songs of 2024

I’m hardly an expert, but I think the Navy is in notoriously bad shape, even by Canadian national defense standards.

Ditto for the last Polaris Music Prize short list.

If you have a helpful resource, such as a compilation of Canadian artists in the past year, let me know and I can edit it into this post.

The list of 2025 Juno nominees would probably be a good (but imperfect) place to start.

Is it? Because we seem to be highly dependent on investagative journalists for that sort of thing.

I would argue that we at least have the right to know who they are. In the case of unions, that’s certainly the case.

This is good for unions and other above-board groups, but I can’t help but wonder how this affects the various “dark money” lobby groups that have unclear ownership, but have been buying political ads across the country.

or is it just like regulation about what can be transported across provincial lines?

That’s a big part of it - this is a decent explainer.

Unfortunately, the deadline has now passed to register as a Liberal and be eligible to vote in the 2025 Leadership race.

With respect, you really need to improve your understanding of our political process.

It really isn’t. It’s a rubber stamp.

Are there honestly people who believe that the King should be weighing in on political matters?

One thing to consider is hashtags. Each Lemmy posts automatically gets a hashtag that’s identical to the community’s @ name (so, this post has #canada). It might be worth poking around the Fediverse to see if there are existing hashtags that might make sense, and to give the communities those names, just to extend visibility beyond Lemmy.

At this time, it would probably be easier to make that charge stick. I don’t know if “force” has a concrete legal definition.

I can’t help but feel like there’s a way to express discontent that doesn’t also encourage the weaponization of citizenship to circumvent the legal system.

Treason

(2) Every one commits treason who, in Canada,

(a) uses force or violence for the purpose of overthrowing the government of Canada or a province;

(b) without lawful authority, communicates or makes available to an agent of a state other than Canada, military or scientific information or any sketch, plan, model, article, note or document of a military or scientific character that he knows or ought to know may be used by that state for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or defence of Canada;

( c) conspires with any person to commit high treason or to do anything mentioned in paragraph (a);

(d) forms an intention to do anything that is high treason or that is mentioned in paragraph (a) and manifests that intention by an overt act; or

(e) conspires with any person to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) or forms an intention to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) and manifests that intention by an overt act.

Basically, the US government would atually have to use force to overthrow the government, and we would have to be able to prove in court that Elon participated in those actions.

Immigration lawyer Gabriela Ramo says that under Canadian law, someone’s citizenship can only be revoked if it can be proven that they committed fraud or misrepresentation to obtain it.

“Before they could move to do this, they would need to introduce legislation, there would have to be amendments to the current Citizenship Act,” said Ramo, former chair of the Canadian Bar Association’s immigration section. “There’s no provision that would allow them to pursue revocation of citizenship of a Canadian birth, by virtue of his birth to a Canadian mother.”

Whereas stripping him of his citizenship would accomplish nothing at all.

The petition is purely symbolic

I don’t think people have really thought through what is symbolic of.

“We don’t have time to put people on trial” is not a take I’m prepared to get behind.

And even if it were…how would revoking his citizenship change any of what you just described?

I’m pretty sure the portion of the Act that site refers to was repealed in 2017.

Canadian citizens who (are alleged to) have committed treason should be tried under to Canadian law, and there’s no reason to invent loopholes to avoid having to put someone on trial.
