@chris Thanks for sharing! I just completed survey and also mentioned Mastodon.

Anyone who drives in Canada, or sits in the front seat of a car in Canada, should complete this survey.

Boost and share with everyone you know. Change only happens if we speak out.

Bright headlights are not safe.

@alexblock @chris Hi, one of your crazy downstairs neighbors here (New England). Total agreement on the too-bright headlamps. They're a menace. Good luck, elbows up.

@rickmurnane @chris Ah, you know the not so secret Canadian code! I was in Maine, New Hampshire and Boston in 2019 with my family on a little road trip. Wonderful countryside, a fun city. If we lived in the non-upside-down version of our world, I'd be back again. It is a pity the way things are. Stay safe, and come visit Canada any time. We're a welcoming bunch! Just drive during the day to avoid those headlights.... 😉

@alexblock @chris My maternal grandfather was born in New Brunswick, and I have family in Ontario. Been there and Quebec numerous times on business and for fun. Friends from Nova Scotia to BC. So yeah, I know the code (wink). 🇨🇦

@rickmurnane @chris Not a lawyer, but you might practically be a Canadian then:

@alexblock @rickmurnane Yes!

You could gain Canadian citizenship!

(if you were born in the USA you never lose your USA citizenship, if that is a concern. You have to explicitly renounce it!)

Change to citizenship rules in 2025 - Canada.ca

Bill C-3 changes the first-generation limit for Canadian citizenship by descent. Find out who is affected and how the law impacts citizenship eligibility.

@alexblock @chris Thanks for the link!

@rickmurnane @chris No time like the present to download application forms!

@alexblock @chris I'd heard the first-gen change was underway last year. I will be looking into it. Thanks again for the links and encouragement!

@rickmurnane @chris My pleasure. Maybe one day we'll hear you've submitted an application or have become a Canadian! My folks made the decision to emmigrate from the UK back in the 1970s. Best decision they made! The opportunities here shaped our future in such positive ways. I cannot imagine my life had we stayed in the UK. Canada has been good to us.

@rickmurnane @alexblock @chris I know it's a bad idea, but I want a mirror bumper sticker for this reason.
