LFNW and LPI Over 25 Years: Community, Code, and Conversations

Read how LPI and LFNW celebrated 25 years of community, code, and conversations at LinuxFest Northwest 2025.

So the city of Bellingham WA has sent a letter to lower mainland communities 'expressing a "commitment" to their "connection" with Canada'. Again I get it. Been to Bellingham at least 40 or 50 times. Over 10 of those times for LinuxFest Northwest. Love Bellingham. But I will not put my safety, security and freedom at risk going through a border where the rules are no longer clear. Where insulting the US fascist dictator can land you in jail.

That's not how "friends" treat each other.

No thank you.

Since U.S. President Donald Trump started threatening and imposing tariffs on Canada and travellers have reported being detained at the border, there's been a notable drop in visitors heading south in recent months, according to Statistics Canada.
