I'm hardly an expert, but I think the Navy is in notoriously bad shape, even by Canadian national defense standards.

Ditto for the last Polaris Music Prize short list.

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 list of 2025 Juno nominees would probably be a good (but imperfect) place to start.

Is it? Because we seem to be highly dependent on investagative journalists for that sort of thing.

I would argue that we at least have the right to know who they are. In the case of unions, that's certainly the case.

This is good for unions and other above-board groups, but I can't help but wonder how this affects the various "dark money" lobby groups that have unclear ownership, but have been buying political ads across the country.

or is it just like regulation about what can be transported across provincial lines?

That's a big part of it - this is a decent explainer.

Unfortunately, the deadline has now passed to register as a Liberal and be eligible to vote in the 2025 Leadership race.

With respect, you really need to improve your understanding of our political process.

It really isn't. It's a rubber stamp.

Are there honestly people who believe that the King should be weighing in on political matters?

One thing to consider is hashtags. Each Lemmy posts automatically gets a hashtag that's identical to the community's @ name (so, this post has #canada). It might be worth poking around the Fediverse to see if there are existing hashtags that might make sense, and to give the communities those names, just to extend visibility beyond Lemmy.
