In Canada, we don’t automatically recount close elections — unless the margin is less than 0.1% of all votes cast. Otherwise, the candidate or voter, have to: File a formal request Pay a $250 deposit And then convince a judge the recount is necessary.

What to know why so many places in Canada are using Temporary Foreign Workers? It has to do with the changes the Trudeau Government did over the years to the International Mobility Program IMP. This is why places like Tim Hortons, Walmart, and many other companies are no longer hiring Canadian born employees.

It’s strange to me there’s a group of Canadians that want the govt to assist them in d3ath. If this is the choice you make, you have the autonomy to do so. The state’s role - especially to offer this service - blurs the line between autonomy and coercion. No?

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how to build rules and habits that allow us to disagree deeply while still being able to live together. On December 5, I’ll talk more about this idea – called pluralism – at our third annual @ObamaFoundation Democracy Forum. Learn more at obama.org/2024-democracy…

Deaths from tobacco use hover between 45,000-50,000 in Canada, which has remained unchanged since the 1980s. We’ve also spent billions on anti smoking campaigns. Are we missing something?

Why does Barack Obama care so much about Kamala winning? 🤔

Barack Obama@BarackObama

Real strength is about helping people who need it. It’s about standing up for those who can’t always stand up for themselves. Let’s get to work and vote for the leaders who demonstrate that kind of character. Vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz.
