By the way, I'm flying from Seoul to Brussels tomorrow to attend FOSDEM 2026. It's my first trip to Europe, so I'm both excited and nervous.

I just looked up what kind of plugs they use in Belgium and Germany. Luckily, it looks like they use Type F “Schuko” plugs, the same kind we use in South Korea!

@Sigmundkapje @surethingwhitey it's unlikely without an open civil war. States run elections, not the federal government. So, he could interfere with elections in very red states with complicit legislatures, but it's the swing states and blue states he needs to interfere with, and those seem unlikely to go along quietly. Which is why he's trying to interfere and manipulate in other ways. They're currently trying to extort access to voter data in Minnesota under threat of continued occupation.

So, I am trying to hold an idea of Canada in my mind where the story of Italian Canadians (and West Indians and Maghrebi and Ukrainian and, and, and) is as foundational and collectively held as the story of the Great Peace and the Acadian expulsion or the national railroad. If there is a "we" here, as a Canadian, it's as much my story as theirs. It feels strange and uncomfortable, which is why I started this poll. And, why, I think, it has so few responses. Anyway, I am Yes, but it's hard.

@evan interesting thoughts, I've been thinking (and trying to write) about the same issue from an European angle, especially about the relationship between states and "nations". One thread that I want to explore further, especially for multiculturalism and immigrants/diaspora is the concept of Doikayt that the Jewish Bund advocated for. That might be a thread in your issues as well.

Italy's history in the 1800s is one of throwing off foreign occupation and uniting into one nation - the Risorgimento - that culminated in the 1860s. The irony is that a population boom and economic downturn directly related to the unifying wars led to a generation that could not find room in the nation their parents and grandparents had made for them. A flow of emigration to the Americas, including Canada, ensued.

About 2 million Canadians trace their ancestry back to Italy; that's about 5% of the population.
