I am sure there will be a good deal of back and forth on this before Election Day. My advice is to do early voting, or vote in person to ensure your vote will be counted.24 Aug 2026 23:09 +0000at://did:plc:mo3tfecwyvdvz3tjsgn2n3oz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtugdskedk26https://bsky.app/profile/robertroy.bsky.social/post/3mttpvqky6s2mOne of the reasons the trade talks broke down is that the US required English only. 30% of the Canadian population speaks French or is bilingual.

The American people care about those sailors. The “Thank you for your service” is nice, but the outcry about the Lincoln lets me know that people care.
