“Take it from a military historian: The #Canadian soldiers were formidable, as were the sailors who escorted convoys across the North Atlantic and the airmen who flew in the Battle of Britain and the air war over Germany. #Canada’s 44,000 dead represented a higher percentage of the population than America’s losses in the Second World War. Those who served were almost entirely volunteers.
Bottom line: It is not a good idea to invade Canada.”
“There are about 50,000 Mohawks straddling the U.S.-#Canadian border, and they are fearless… As members of what used to be the Iroquois Confederacy, they were ferocious warriors, and they retain a martial tradition. It is sobering to consider that they may think, with reason, that we are the illegal immigrants who have ruined the country, and therefore hold a grudge.”
“Since the War of 1812, Americans have not tried any formal invasions of #Canada but there was tacit and sometimes overt support for the 1837–38 revolt of the #Canadian patriotes, a confrontation over Oregon (a sober look at the size of the Royal Navy dissuaded us from trying anything), and the Fenian raids of 1866 and 1870. The Fenians were rather like the Proud Boys, only better organized and all Irish, and they also ended up fleeing back over the border.”
Calling all Canadian fedi artists!! I am looking for an artist who would be willing to commission a drawing that I can use for my profile pic both here, and other places! There are a few specifics I am looking for, but otherwise it would be in your creative hands!
I am essentially looking for an anthropomorphized male moose, with other certain details. Either a full character or just a bust/face picture.
Please BOOST
Which reminds me, which band is more Canadian?
Small #bookbinding update! I've been dormant since little one came in October but I'm getting ready to dust my tools off soon.
I recently purchased a new laptop case from a great #Canadian #Etsy shop that specializes in making crafts from old kimonos. The artist offers packs of scrap pieces perfect for A5 journals. Really excited to get started!

The #Framework Laptop 13 is a slightly unusual size and aspect ratio. So, instead of getting a case that "kind of" fits, I had one custom made from this great #Canadian artist from #Quebec on #Etsy who specializes in making things from kimono fabrics. This is my second one from them and the quality of both is excellent. If you are in the market for a new case, please give their shop a look:

#ICE detains #Canadian. 3 March A CAN woman crossing US border - to renew work visa, was denied entry. Rather than send her back over the border in San Ysidro, they detained her. She was transferred to Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego. On March 9 the online tracking center said she had been released, 24 hours later there was no word from her. She and 30 other people were forcibly removed from their cells at 3AM and transferred to the San Luis Detention Center in AZ.... 1/6. @GottaLaff
