Are you a Canadian by descent? New citizenship rules are in effect for ‘Lost Canadians’

If people who have never lived in Canada but their grandparents were citizens can have the full rights of citizenship, why not everyone who has lived here for 5 years?

Especially if they came as children.

"Citizenship" as defined by governments makes little sense.

> Bill C-3 restored citizenship rights to people cut off by the previous “two-generation rule.” Here’s what it means.

"Austrian Supreme Court (OGH): Meta must provide full access to all personal data of user within 14 days, including the sources, recipients and purposes for which each information was used. All of Meta's claims of trade secrets or other limitations were rejected, leading to unprecedented access to the inner workings of Meta. Meta was also illegally collecting data from third party apps and websites and may only provide personalised advertisement if a user provided “specific, informed, unambiguous and freely given” consent. Meta must also ensure that data revealing sensitive information (such as political views, sexual orientation, or health) is not processed together with other data unless a valid legal basis according to Article 9(2) GDPR applies. Meta may not avoid the application of Article 9 GDPR by arguing that it does not intentionally collect such data or that it cannot technically distinguish or segregate it. The case, brought by Max Schrems in 2014, originally lasted 11 years and hit the Austrian Supreme Court three times and the CJEU two times. Mr Schrems was awarded €500 in damages."

"Given the histories at play, some might argue that human rights and global health projects do not deserve rescue. If these frameworks have always served the interests of powerful states and individuals at the expense of those they have dispossessed and exploited, why defend them now? Why mourn their erosion at Harvard, of all places?

Because even a compromised universalism provides a vocabulary for demanding equality that authoritarian politics cannot tolerate. Because institutions that acknowledge their failures can correct them, while institutions that deny their obligations altogether cannot. And because abandoning universalism under pressure from governments, donors and political actors would confirm the most cynical assessment of American power: that our ethical commitments from within US institutions can only ever extend as far as strategic alliances allow.

Bassett’s removal demonstrates what happens when institutions choose short-term protection over intellectual and ethical integrity. But it also clarifies what remains worth fighting for. A public health field that cannot describe the destruction of Gaza’s health system forfeits its credibility on every other question of justice and claim to truth. A human rights discourse that excludes Palestinians cannot credibly defend anyone. And a university that punishes scholars for naming political violence does not merely betray its ideals; it becomes a malign force in the world it claims to seek to redeem and to carry forward into a better future."

ACCIDENT LYON 18/12 RECHERCHE TEMOINS 📣🚴
Bonjour, ma mère, cycliste de 75 ans a été renversée volontairement (suite à une altercation avec une voiture garée sur la PC) hier après-midi à Lyon Saxe Gambetta, vers le groupe scolaire Chavant. Elle est toujours hospitalisée et doit être opérée aujourd'hui... Nous sommes à la recherche de témoins de la scène, car il y en a eu (des gens lui ont porté secours et ont relevé au moins une partie de la plaque de la voiture). Etant du côté de Marseille, je ne connais pas les groupes lyonnais, je jette donc une bouteille à la mer et compte sur vos partages. Mille mercis par avance.

I am going to mark this day every year.

Gisèle Pelicot is an international hero. I hope that every single day she knows safety and love and peace.

Putin wants a weak and divided Europe.
Now Trump has joined him.

Their weapon: social media.

Pro-European voices are silenced.
Far-right extremists are boosted.

Europe has a weapon too, the Digital Services Act.
So why aren’t you using it, dear European Commission?
