Canada@lemmy.ca•Happy Réveillon, Quebec, from an Ontario, Scottish, Italian, aboriginal family. Our version on tourtière.

This is Digg, what once was a competitor for Reddit. It has morphed into this thing.

Same geographical region. Northern Ontario.
As Canadian as the cultural progeny of a Scandanavian and an American.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation.
19·4 days agoSmartphones made an incredible change. We used to plan trips months or even years in advance. Mailing to foreign embassies for visas, gathering maps, buying travelor’s cheques, making reservations by mail, researching by borrowing books from the library - all took a lot of time and effort.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does every married man I talk to about marriage benefits seem to feel that staying single is better?
2·4 days agoTbh, I was a bit of a jerk. I wouldn’t have wanted to be around me if I acted “natural.”

Canada@lemmy.ca•Danish postal service to stop delivering letters after 400 years
2·5 days agoBecause some people in Canada are suggesting that we eliminate the Canadian Postal Service as it is constantly running large deficits and has been on a slope of losing delivery business for many years now.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does every married man I talk to about marriage benefits seem to feel that staying single is better?
15·5 days agoI hated the games. When the commitment wasn’t there, I always felt like I was acting a certain way just to make my current girlfriend stay around. When I got married, the games stopped. Also, regular sex, not worrying about STDs, someone who was there to talk to all the time, someone to do things with, and someone to share expenses was a great relief. Don’t get me wrong, there were still plenty of rough times, but we’d made a commitment and I knew she’d stick around until we worked things out.
Never heard it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone actually like... talk to extended family/relatives? Like an active effort to maintain relations and not just because of forced family gatherings?
30·5 days agoYes. We get together with extended family every year. We enjoy each other’s company.
Still, it doesn’t take into account the per captia as the population has increased greatly in that time period. It also compares with the lowest decade of homicide by guns in a long time. Per capita, the 1970s were higher.
For the last decade, Canada has averaged around 268 gun homocides a year. The decade before (the lowest gun homicide decade in recent history) Canada averaged around 178 gun homocides a year. The population has risen from about 35 million in 2015 to 41 million in 2025. While the gun deaths per capita has risen a bit from the previous (low) decade, I would hardly describe it as “bodies piling up.”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What mediocre game, show, or movie has an incredible soundtrack?
51·6 days agoNot a mediocre game but the opening track of Civilization IV, The Lord’s Prayer, is magnificent. It won a Grammy.

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘The Nazis were right:’ What the leaders of Canada’s biggest ‘nationalist’ group really want
27·6 days agoAnti-immigration in Canada always seemed weird to me, given that everyone, with the exception of indigenous, are products of immigration. It’s like they’re saying, “Yeah, we’re in. Let’s not let others in now.”

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can you please explain the last joke you made that you're sure no one got?
4·7 days agoI made a joke about a roof, but it was over everyone’s heads.
