Hundreds of youths descend on Vancouver's Scientology building as part of speedrunning trend in c/canada@lemmy.ca

I love this for Scientology.

Years ago I was outside that location and decided to go in to check it out. The place was a ghost town inside. I was just walking around, picking up books and reading the back. Finally someone came up and talked to me. I said something like "I always walk by this place but don't know anything about it. Thought I'd pop my head in."

She was very suspicious of why I was there, wouldn't answer questions, and basically herded me back out the door. I wasn't even offered to take their personality test.

    Canada in the European Union? Poll suggests broad openness to the idea in c/canada@lemmy.ca

    I agree. Canada has been making some solid strategic trade deals without the EU. I don't know if joining them right now would make us stronger in the long run. I can see some benefits, but it also limits what we can do.

    That said, I wouldn't mind being joined with the Euro. Canada saw benefits from keeping the CAD lower for trades with the US. Now that the US is becoming Gilead and pissing off the world, do we need to keep CAD lower? Does using the Euro help trade deals? I don't know the answer to those questions.

    I think right now Canada should hold position, continue build bridges that bypass the USA, and focus on becoming the EUs BFF. The USAs downfall is happening much quicker then I think people expected, and it's only going to get worse. I think we'll look better if we stand our ground on our own feet right now.

    Canada and Greenland has sort of become the darlings of the world for giving Trump the finger. We can use that to our advantage.

    Do you think Trump is itching to use nukes? (lemmy.ca)
     

    Trump has said in the past he doesn't understand why the US has nukes if they don't use them. I think he wants to go down in history as the first person to use them in modern times. This rotten sack of mayonnaise once wanted to nuke wind for fucks sake.

    I think the plan is to put boots on the ground on Kharg Island. Iran will drone and missile strike the crap out of them. This gives Trump the excuse to nuke either their oil fields to irradiate them or Tehran to level the place.

    What do you think?

    Carney to travel to Norway and UK to strengthen collective defence (canadiandefencereview.com)
     

    The Prime Minister, Mark Carney, announced that he will travel to Bardufoss and Oslo, Norway, from March 13 to 15, 2026. In Bardufoss, the Prime Minister will observe the Norwegian-led NATO Exercise Cold Response, where troops from 14 Allied nations will gather above the Arctic Circle to enhance the Alliance’s readiness, interoperability, and defence capabilities. This exercise is an important demonstration of NATO’s shared resolve to defend the Alliance’s northern flank – supported by the participation of its newest members, Sweden and Finland, at this critical moment.

    During his visit, the Prime Minister will also engage with business leaders to position Canada as a premier destination for global capital and investment, particularly in the defence, critical minerals, and artificial intelligence sectors.

    President Trump has appointed Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, to the Air Force Academy’s Board of Visitors, having her replace her husband.

    The board did not announce Erika Kirk’s appointment, though her name now appears on the list of members.

    Asked as to when Erika Kirk had been named to the board, the White House did not say, only praising Trump as having “made the perfect choice” in appointing her.
