@esidewalkitout I agree in the big scheme. But not sure what to do in elections now considering in most US elections it's the D or the R. I'm a big fan of and wonder if a different voting system like ranked choice or approval voting (much simpler) could spur more wins from 3rd parties.
@esidewalkitout I don't think any of Biden's more ambitious campaign promises are likely. We've known since the Nov election that the Democrats only have the narrowest of margins - and anyone following federal politics also knows the "D" congressional members are far from unified in vision.
@CitImmCanada@CitImmCanada - hello again. I still have not heard anything from my application I submitted on October 8th. Could you please follow up with me on its status? Many others who applied later than I did have been processed. Thank you.
@CitImmCanada According to the processes released today for extended family members to visit Canadian citizens, it is unclear how a US citizen must request "written authorization from IRCC" upon completing the IMM-0006 form. US citizens do not apply for visitor visas nor eTAs.
@CitImmCanada Hi - you replied to this back on Oct 9. I actually DID submit my form on Oct 8. I have not heard anything from you (IRCC) since then. Could you please look into why my application has not been processed? It is now the 14th promised business day.
@CitImmCanada @collin60675652 That webpage, unfortunately, doesn't answer the question. The website is not clear for how extended family members who are US citizens should apply, since we do not apply for tourist visas nor eTAs when visiting Canada.
@EWDurbin I was thinking on this last night. I agree the bike ride gets high marks for visibility. It's easy. It was well organized. People like riding bikes. It didn't feel dangerous.
But there could be a bike ride like that every weekend and it won't lead to meaningful change.
how did you spend your 4th of July?
I spent mine bartending, repeatedly being told to go fuck myself when I asked patrons to please wear a mask, and having videos and pictures taken of me as I tried to enforce these rules.
