It’s interesting that this article doesn’t quite match what was said in CBC’s TV news. There they blamed the size of the US market, saying that bean producers would have to raise prices for everyone to offset US costs.

It felt like I had been kidnapped0·4 months agoIf by “today’s political climate,” you mean the sudden and illegal actions the president of the USA has ordered and USA’s ICE has carried out, then I don’t disagree with you. I wouldn’t have done what she did. But I also don’t blame her for being detained. We have to admit that this is lunacy! And I’m glad that she has been vocal, so people can understand that this isn’t just a crackdown on illegal crossings.

It felt like I had been kidnapped0·4 months agoI’m not sure if you’ve ever tried immigrating between the US and Canada, but it is absolutely valid to apply for visas and work permits at a port of entry. It does not matter which country you arrive from - there is no requirement that you must enter from your home country.
It also does not matter if you’ve been previously denied. Denial is not a conviction, and the US is happy to take your money for you to apply again. Especially if you have a new job that may change the circumstances.
None of what she did was shady - at all. It’s super common. And legal. And the worst thing that should have happened is a denial of entry.

I watched some of Immich’s users throw a tantrum when Immich added a purchase button (that supports the project but changes nothing else). A lot of the complaints boiled down to “hide the purchase button so I don’t feel guilt.”
It’s a miracle anyone works on open source projects.

I’m with you - the nostalgia is fun. I installed https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 as a joke, and I’m still using it a year later…
Interestingly, on TV CBC said the opposite: prices from the farms would go up universally to help offset the change in the massive US market.
But I hope you’re right.
