FYI, Vancouver is right smack in the middle of a temperate rainforest biome. If you’re gonna write a Canadian character as a running joke about how cold it gets up here, whatever, you do you, but maybe don’t have them hail from the one part of Canada that doesn’t have harsh winters?

Unfortunate side effect of America finally getting chip card readers:

Massive uptick in how often cashiers have used the phrase “put it in” at me

I didn’t know so many people would be confused by this, America was still exclusively “swiping” credit cards until only like two years ago. We had no idea it was different in other countries and a lot of us found the new chip method to be strange, awkward and even irritating.

There was also such a rash of people accidentally leaving their cards inserted as they walked out of the store that most chains made the “please remove card” noise significantly louder and harsher, to the further irritation of cashiers themselves who have to hear it all day long.

Do you even HAVE a noise reminding you to take the card back out or is it so second nature you don’t need one?

Okay so it is just us who get reminded to remove our cards the same way we’d be reminded that an unknown life form has breached the hull

I hate the angry, disappointed sound that chip readers make.

And even now, one of my cards doesn’t have the chip yet, it still has to be swiped.

I hate to tell you but in the rest of the world we’ve mostly moved to a system where if the purchase is under a certain amount ($80 in NZ, I think 30 pounds in the UK, not sure about Euro or AUD) you just tap the card on the reader.

The amount in Canada is anything under $50 you can tap to pay. Transactions take seconds.

What parts of Canada are Wade Wilson and Logan actually from tho? This is an important part of Thier relationship that’s really overlooked.

Like, Thier canadianess in general is overlooked, but if Logan is supposed to be from NWT or something and Wade is from, IDK, Vancouver, there needs to be an inter-canadian smackdown.

Responses from The Canadians so far:

Logan: Multiple canon sources and Actual Canadians agree he’s from somewhere in northern Alberta, (Fox Lake and Cold Lake have both been cited)

Wade: True to form, there are multiple conflicting canons about which part of Canada Deapool is from, but all the Canadians agree that in order to get Like That ™, Wade Wilson is 100% definitely for certain from Winnepeg.

This is the kind of treatment asylum seekers are currently facing in the United States; they are given the choice to either give up their asylum claim, which would keep their family together but be forced to return to a country wracked with violence, or be imprisoned for a year and have their child put up for adoption.

If the Liberal Party sees this and still concludes that the US constitutes a “Safe” country for asylum seekers then they are morally bankrupt on this issue.

Liberals? The republicans are the ones enforcing and utilizing these policies under trump. Don’t get it twisted.

Hi, the blog this post is from is called ALL THE CANADIAN POLITICS.

When Canadians refer to Liberals or ‘The Liberal Party’ we are generally not talking about ‘Liberal minded Canadians’, and we are definitely not talking about a US Political Party or its supporters.

We are talking about the Liberal Party of Canada and its supporters, who currently run the Canadian Federal Government, and guess what?

These Liberals are not taking any concrete action to deal with Trump’s outrageous immigration policies, in fact these Liberals lead by ‘WOKE BAE’ Justin Trudeau wants to make it harder for refugees to enter Canada:

Canada wants U.S. cooperation in turning back asylum seekers

It took days of pressure from Canada’s most left political party the NDP, before Trudeau would even consider condemning this family separation policy:

NDP calls on Trudeau to speak out against controversial U.S. border law

Trudeau Suggests It’s Not His Place To Condemn Trump’s Migrant Child Policy

Only days later did he even suggest it was his place to criticize Trump:

Trudeau calls Trump’s child separation policy ‘wrong’ as president does about-face

And Trudeau has done nothing to make it easier for refugees in the USA in danger of deportation or family separation to apply to Canada.

In fact he wants to maintain the Safe Third Country agreement, an agreement that assumes that the USA is a safe country for immigrants, and which makes it more difficult for refugees to claim asylum in Canada.
