First off, welcome to all the new users these past few days! Please take a look at our recent welcome thread with some guides and tips that will help you get settled in:

https://lemmy.ca/post/39167034



This is the nomination thread for which song(s) we will submit to Lemmyvision 2! Please comment your nominations in this thread for them to be considered. This post will be pinned to the instance briefly, but you can continue nominating songs until March 25th (2025). You will be able to find this post in !canada@lemmy.ca

What is lemmyvision

Lemmyvision is inspired from Eureddision (itself a reenactment of the Eurovision song contest) which was held on r/europe some years ago, and based on the participation of national communities / instances and the delicate musical taste of their members (you!).

Every country/community is welcome to participate! The contest follows the rule of “national languages only” but regional languages are welcome too, if your community would like to feature a song in a regional language of your country, that’s awesome. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.

What is lemmy.ca doing

Specific to Canada, here is what the organizer has said:

You’re invited to participate by sending a song in any official or regional language / dialect from Canada !

Given the multilingual aspect of your country, I’m open to multiple submissions (one for each language you’d like to represent, so Inuktitut, French Canadian, any First Nations languages are welcome) from lemmy.ca, just mention which language is linked to which submission 🤗

As such, please do the following:

  • Songs must have been released within the last year (after January 1st, 2024).
  • Songs must not be international hits (see the 'Full rules and details' link below for more context)
  • Nominate each song as a separate comment under this post. If the song contains vocals, it must be one of the 'Canadian languages' as outlined above, and you must specify which language you are nominating it under

Please nominate the songs by March 25th (2025).

I set a reminder to post a voting thread on March 25th. If I am late on that (like last year), please let one of the admins know and we will get on that. That should give us a week before the submission deadline to pick from our list of nomations.

If you have a helpful resource, such as a compilation of Canadian artists in the past year, let me know and I can edit it into this post:

The energy executives called for a simplification of regulation and a commitment to firm deadlines for project approvals.

They also want an elimination of the federal government's cap on emissions, the repeal of the federal carbon levy on large emitters and loan guarantees to help Indigenous co-investment opportunities.

Trump continually says the war in Ukraine is horrible, soldiers and civilians are dying everyday and he hates to see suffering and dying over there.

Well, has he thought what would happen if the USA tried to annex Canada? There would be people dying, there would be soldiers AND civilians killed, it would be just as bad, if not worse than Ukraine.

Canadians will FIGHT for our country. We will kill and die for our country if we have to, just like any other country defending an attack on their sovereignty.

Why hasn’t any reporters even asked him this question??

Des activistes de Last Generation Canada ont été arrêtés mercredi matin pour avoir vandalisé un concessionnaire Tesla à Montréal, s’opposant aux milliardaires, comme Elon Musk, qui «détruisent l’avenir».

Les deux partisans ont lancé de la peinture rose sur la devanture du concessionnaire Tesla, situé sur la rue Ferrier à Montréal.

Le groupe a d’ailleurs exigé au Canada de s’opposer au patron de Tesla, Elon Musk, notant qu’il «détruit les démocraties et propage le déni climatique», peut-on lire dans un communiqué de Last Generation Canada.

«Nous avons pris action aujourd'hui, car nous ne pouvons plus supporter de voir le profit prendre priorité sur la vie. Les milliardaires et les ultra-riches sont en train de détruire notre avenir pour leur propre gain», a commenté un des activistes, Marcel Paré.

Quant à la seconde militante qui a participé au coup d’éclat, Valérie Lachapelle, elle estime que les ultra-riches seraient en grande partie responsables de la crise climatique.

«On ne se laissera pas mourir pour les grandes compagnies. On ne laissera pas les ultra-riches décider de notre sort, a dit la femme de 21 ans. On doit sortir dehors et déranger le petit train-train du quotidien pour qu'on se fasse vraiment entendre.»

Quelques minutes après avoir effectué leur coup d’éclat, les autorités ont procédé à l’arrestation des deux activistes.

Keeping cultural works locked away for decades restricts access and stifles creativity. Reform is needed to restore public domain access.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Tesla has been removed from participating in this week’s Vancouver International Auto Show over safety concerns, the event’s executive director said Tuesday.

Eric Nicholl said in a statement that the show asked the electric carmaker to withdraw because of a “primary concern” for the safety of workers, attendees and exhibitors.

Nicholl said Tesla was provided “multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw.”

“This decision will ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the many positive elements of the event,” the statement said.

It took just one meeting with Lutnick to reverse his strong stance and start saying:

Mr. Ford insisted Mr. Lutnick somehow wants to “boost up” Canada, despite Mr. Trump’s repeated threats of annexation and tariffs that could cripple Canada’s U.S.-trade-dependent economy.

...

“They aren’t coming into our country to take over, I’ll tell you that,” Mr. Ford said. “I kind of flip this around. What a compliment. We’ll never be a 51st state. Canada’s not for sale. But isn’t it nice that someone thinks we have the greatest country world, and they want access?”

...

The Premier’s comments follow last week’s high-stakes trade drama, in which he backed down from imposing a 25-per-cent surcharge on his province’s electricity exports to the U.S. Mr. Ford’s move prompted a vehement reaction from Mr. Trump, who immediately threatened to double the 25-per-cent duties he was about to impose on Canadian steel and aluminum.

I am asking myself if the Canadian population knows what that means to them. At irregular intervals, the EU is given more powers in order to have more power. There is currently a debate about whether the 27 armies should be converted into a European army. This would also affect you if you are part of the EU. In many areas, Canada would lose its powers and passing them on to the EU. This can be seen very clearly in financial policy. You would have to adopt the Euro as your currency and the European Central Bank would make interest rate policy. Of course there are more positive things, but you have to understand and accept that you would lose some of your independence.

Well this is absolutely frightening in so much that Trump is going to force his way into Canada via military operations by claiming fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

Anyone remember the Bush Administration and WMDs they said were there but never were?

Elbows up Canuck’s. The time to prepare is most likely closer than we think.
