Yesterday was the last day to #vote in advance for the upcoming #Canada #federal #election. Both Monday and yesterday I left work early to drop in and vote. Both times the line was so long it was spilling into overflow areas and out into the hallways. Yesterday they were giving out numbered tickets like at the deli for those who squeezed in before 6pm. I waited both days to get a sense for how fast the line was moving, but just couldn't stay. This is just.. wow. (in a good way)

What the heck are you talking about?
Voting federally in Canada is a very simple process, and doesn't take much time. You cast one vote for one office. Of course it's done by hand. It's trivial to count the votes afterwards. Even the biggest polling stations can count their votes in an hour or two.
Other than the line to get to where you get your ballot, it generally only takes a couple of minutes to vote. Yes, it'll be longer if you're not registered to vote, as they have to verify you, but otherwise it's quick.
It has been this way as long as I've been voting, which is more than 3 decades.
This post stinks of disinformation, trying to dissuade people from voting. Why? Who are you? Who are you working for?

The #Federal is ready to provide #dollar liquidity through its swap lines w/other central banks as needed, #JeromePowell said.
"We want to make sure that dollars are available.”
"The reason we do it is it's really good for US consumers, so we'll do that just as part of the dollar being a reserve currency.”
Reserves are still abundant

Comment peut-il faire une telle promesse? Avec quel argent?
Je n'ai rien contre la vertu, mais il faut aussi être réaliste, surtout que la santé est de juridiction provinciale.

Judge in Alien Enemies Act case to oversee case about Signal chat
The judge who the government has argued can't be trusted with sensitive information in the Alien Enemies Act case
-- has been assigned to a case about top government officials appearing to share sensitive information on the commercial messaging application Signal.
U.S. District Court Judge James #Boasberg in the District of Columbia has been assigned to oversee the case of American Oversight against top officials involved in a Signal group chat about an attack in Yemen.
The lawsuits seeks to make sure the officials are not using the app to get around federal record-keeping requirements.
“Messages in the Signal chat about official government actions, including, but not limited to, national security deliberations, are #federal #records and must be preserved in accordance with federal statutes, and agency directives, rules, and regulations,” the plaintiffs argue.
Tulsi #Gabbard is one of the defendants in the case, and used the suit as argument for why she couldn't answer some questions about the group chat in today's House hearing.
"As a result of that pending litigation, I'm limited in my ability to comment further" on the case, she testified.
#Boasberg is overseeing a separate civil case in which alleged Venezuelan gang members have sued to stop from being deported under Trump's invocation of the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.
The administration has refused to answer some of the judge's questions about the initial March 15 deportations in the case and suggested in a filing it did not believe the court could be trusted with such sensitive information

I was reading an article on some of the latest shenanigans going on in the Free Peoples' Republic of Trumpistan, and I misread a sentence that was talking about the federal government as "feral government", and I'm not sure that was less correct.
