Canada had a program like this. It was called Carrot Rewards and it paid you in points for doing health questionnaires and tracking your steps. It was funded by 3 provincial governments (for residents of those 3 provinces). Manulife has a similar program for their insured right now, awarding Aeroplan points.
I personally do ShareX, with an SFTP destination for an nginx webserver. It has an image editor built in as part of the workflow if you enable it, and it can automatically copy the clipboard URL.
You could certainly go the extra mile and setup an image sharing manager or a more complicated solution if you wanted to though, if that makes overall administration easier.
The vast majority of internet traffic originating from Canada doesn't actually go through these lines. Do a MTR/traceroute to anywhere and unless you're on specific commercial networks, all of your traffic will be going through a US Internet Exchange at some point because it's way cheaper for your local greedy telecom.
Here are their ASNs:
- Greenland Connect: Tusass A/S (AS8818)
- St. Pierre and Miquelon Cable: SPM Telecom (AS3695)
- EXA Express: EXA Infrastructure (AS30740)
- Topaz: Google (AS15169)
Two are terminal links to connect isolated regions, the other two are commercial links not used by home internet users.
The level of self-righteousness on that forum is hilarious, so it's nice when the achievement is appreciated for what it is.
Companies can have multiple business lines.
Is your user agent set to a generic Mozilla? Some have harder challenges for certain user agents too.
Plus there's limited permits for Haij. It's not like a free-for-all anyone since Saudi Arabia greatly cracked down on illegal unauthorized Haij pilgrimage facilitators. There's only so many pilgrims that small city can hold in a small span of time, and 1/4th of Haij pilgrims are domestic.
Oh awesome! So pleased to see Mistral AI integration for paperless-ai.
These are for new flight bookings. International arrivals have already dropped by 11% as of February: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/250310/dq250310d-eng.htm

Using forward booking data from a major GDS supplier, we've compared the total bookings held at this point last year with those recorded this week for the upcoming summer season. The decline is striking — bookings are down by over 70% in every month through to the end of September. This sharp drop suggests that travellers are holding off on making reservations, likely due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding the broader trade dispute.
It's also important to note that this is more than just leisure travel between Canada and the US itself.
I don't necessarily think these are the main driving factors, but you could attribute some part of this to:
- economic recession, because firms oftentimes cut back on travel in their budgets as the first line items to be cut (prior to layoffs), and businesses may be more reluctant to hold conferences and large meetings in-person during periods of economic stress, and fewer business negotiations/meetings are happening due to tariff anxieties.
- declining air traffic to the US overall because of visa worries, the proposed travel bans or spite - Air Canada + airline alliances competes with US airlines for passenger bookings (i.e. itineraries like London -> Toronto -> Kansas compete with equivalent US itineraries of London -> New York -> Kansas ), and visa policies like the China Transit Program exists to help Air Canada and the Star Alliance leverage Canadian airports as transit hubs to the US. Remember: if privileged Canadians are scared about being allowed entry to the US without being detained in an ICE holding facility, you imagine how citizens of developing countries must feel about traveling to the US right now.
The trend only holds true until September according to the source, so general uncertainty definitely seems to be a key driver here.
