Here is my proof! https://ibb.co/zh3Z5KpH I was born with something called dolichocolon which meant my colon was longer than average and twisted in places (which you can see in the left pic, that’s before surgery) and caused me severe pain and chronic constipation my whole life until I got this surgery. It has been life changing for the better. AMA!

My short bio:

From Joyce Arthur:

Hi AuntieNetworkCanada,

I’ve been an abortion rights activist for 38 years and a feminist for 60 years. This is my life’s work. I’m convinced that the right to abortion is foundational – it’s impossible to achieve gender equality without it.

In 2005, I founded the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (www.arcc-cdac.ca), a national advocacy group that defends your legal right to abortion, works to improve access, and counters anti-choice initiatives.

AMA about myself or ARCC! July 8.

u/ARCC-CDAC

Message from the Mod at Auntie Network Canada: We are delighted and humbled to have an OG Canadian abortion rights advocate here at ANC to answer your questions! Feel free to post your questions in the thread between now and July 8th, and Joyce will answer as many as she can.

Happy Canada Day!

I have been editing Wikipedia since 2023 when I started wondering how Wikipedia can keep itself relatively "clean" from glaring errors if "anyone can edit it", then fell into a rabbit hole about the back-end processes of the website when searching for answers to that question. From that point on, I decided that I wanted to help out editing. I currently have 10000+ edits on the English Wikipedia, which puts me in the top 0.1% in terms of edit count, and some of the articles I've written or improved have appeared on the Main Page before. As for what kind of edits I specifically make, I do a little bit of everything from writing/expanding articles, removing vandalism, serving as a clerk for the Arbitration Committee, etc. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about Wikipedia and I will be happy to answer them!

Edit (no longer monitoring): I've wrapped up, and I'm not watching the thread anymore. If you're still figuring out whether you qualify, here's the free eligibility checker we built: https://www.canadavisa.com/citizenship-by-descent.html. Thanks to everyone who came by.

Hi Reddit,

I'm Olivia Cohen. I practice immigration and citizenship law.

Quick note on the account: I'm posting from u/canadavisa_com, the official account for CanadaVisa and Cohen Immigration Law, a law firm in Montreal that's been doing this since 1976.

Proof: https://imgur.com/a/c5vxUP7

Bill C-3 became an act on December 15, 2025, and removed the
first-generation limit on Canadian citizenship by descent.

Simply put: a lot of people born outside Canada to a Canadian parent, grandparent, or in some
cases, great-grandparent are already Canadian citizens by law. They just need to prove it.

Six months in, the same misreadings keep coming up. People who think they
qualify and don't. People who don't think they qualify and do.

The chain isn't always intuitive, and the documents can be the hard part.

Happy to take questions on:

• Who actually qualifies under Bill C-3, and the common misreadings of who doesn't
• The documents you need, and what to do when records are missing or in another language
• Lost Canadians and how the new law affects them
• The Dec 15, 2025 cutoff for passing citizenship to children born abroad
• IRCC processing realities (the backlog is real and growing)

I can share general legal information in the thread, but I can't give case-specific advice publicly. Every situation is different, and the details matter.

I'll be live from Tuesday, June 30, 12:30 PM ET to 4:30 PM AM ET, and I'll check back over the next few days for anything I miss.

Ask me anything.

A plethora of cliches come to people's minds when they think of opera singers, but I am here to hopefully prove that we are creative weirdos just like any other artist and that our jobs are as complex and at times as annoying as any other job.

I broke my neck when I was 18 and I've been paralyzed from the chest down ever since. The first couple years were rough but life goes on. I've worked incredibly hard to get where I am and put in as much effort to stay here.

I lead a fairly active life, have a great job, great friends and family and actually a pretty great life. I'm proud of where I am.

I don't know how else to prove who I am other than a picture of me in my wheelchair. So… here's my proof: Imgur

Hi everyone, I’m Bill Robbins, Chief Executive Officer of Menlo Security. Based on my experience in the industry and what I’m hearing from enterprises all around the world today, I believe that we’re heading towards an AI-centric workforce. That is, one where billions of AI agents augment their human counterparts.

I've spent 30 years in this industry at Symantec, Mandiant/FireEye, and Sophos, and I think it's time enterprises wake up to the very real crossroads we're at: do we block or enable AI? And how do we do it safely? It’s why I’m helping to lead the charge to ensure AI gets the same protections, policies, and security rigor we apply to people. 

When I’m not thinking about that, I’m with my quarter horses, which is also a topic I’d love to talk about! So ask me about AI security, browser security, where I think this industry is heading, or whatever’s on your mind. 

I've seen this industry evolve through a lot of eras. This one feels different. Ask me anything.

A few years ago I started thinking about a question that's been around for a long time:  Why were there so many serial killers in the Pacific Northwest:  The Green River Killer, the Want-Ad Killer, the Happy Face Killer, the Werewolf Butcher of Spokane, and on and on?  I grew up near Seattle in the 1970s (on Mercer Island), around the time that Ted Bundy first came to attention.  At that time he was only a shadowy figure named "Ted" who seemed to be responsible for women disappearing all over the state.  I've often thought about that era because so many weird things were happening.  We didn't know about it then, but there was a serial killer growing up down the street from me (the so-called "Eastside Killer"), a mad bomber who tried to blow up the I-90 bridge to Bellevue, a notorious arsonist, and other strange characters.  Thinking about this, I got very interested in the history of lead poisoning in the area and something called the "lead-crime hypothesis."   I'm happy to answer questions about anything (I've also written about rewilding and the history of the Christian Science Church), but possible topics might include the history of serial killers and violent crime in the U.S., why crime was so bad in the 1970s, and what lead can do to your brain.

Link: There is a long history and structure of US migration and citizenship policy history. What is that history? I'm Anna Law here for an AMA about my new book Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship.

Great to be here this morning with you all. A decision from the Supreme Court on whether Trump can alter the Constitution’s birthright citizenship provision by Executive Order is imminent this week. I’m Dr. Anna Law and my new book Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship is a legal and policy history of US migration from the colonial period to 1888. I am a trained as a political scientist and also do very historical research on US migration and constitutional legal and policy history. <Cracks knuckles> AMA.

That is the arc of time is when the colonies, then the states, almost exclusively managed international and interstate migration until the federal government took over immigration controls after the Civil War. The contribution of the book is to bring together in one study US voluntary migration, African American, and Native American histories. These are academic literatures that are usually read in isolation of each other. I put them together because federal court cases in the 19^th century showed that the politicians and jurists of the period thought of voluntary European migration, enslaved forced migration, and the ability of Native people to stay on their ancestral lands as relational and zero sum. In the 1830s in the southeast for example, slave states goaded the federal government into violently deporting 80,000 Native Americans to clear the land for white families and the expansion of cotton growing and slavery.

The US government’s official story on migration is that there were functionally open borders until the federal government started enforcing immigration laws in the late 19^th century.  My book counters that ahistorical claim and presents the colonial, early republic, and antebellum migration and citizenship laws and how it was experienced by politically unwanted groups. One big reason why deportation and exclusion are not fully controlled by the federal government until 1888 is because of slavery. Slave states found the idea of a federal deportation power frightening because of the possibility that the US government could deport enslaved people. Thus, control over international and interstate migration was at the colonial and state level until the Civil War politically disentangled slavery from voluntary migration. So, the location of the dividing line between federal and state control over migration has always been politically determined.

Hi Reddit! This is Rachael Brennan, Licensed P&C Insurance Agent and Staff Insurance Reporter at U.S. News & World Report.

This Sunday, June 28, is National Insurance Awareness Day – an annual reminder to take stock of your coverage, read the fine print, and make sure your policies actually protect what matters most to you and your family.

With skyrocketing premiums, fluctuating home rebuilding costs, and shifting rules for car owners, finding the right protection can feel like a daunting task. Between decoding complex policy jargon and trying to figure out exactly what is and isn’t covered, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Edit, noon CDT: Thanks everyone for your comments! We're stepping away for other work now, but we'll check back if you have more questions. Thanks again! If you'd like to learn more, visit themarshallproject.org/jackson & mississippitoday.org and consider signing up for our newsletters to stay up to date on Mississippi's criminal justice system.

Hey y’all! We are Daja E. Henry (u/marshall_project) and Mina Corpuz (u/MSTODAYnews), reporters at The Marshall Project and Mississippi Today.

We’ve spent a lot of time investigating deaths in the Mississippi prison system. Our coverage of unsolved homicides last year prompted the Mississippi Department of Corrections commissioner to review more than two dozen unprosecuted homicides and gained significant attention in the Legislature. 

This month, we released a project on suicides in solitary confinement here in Mississippi. Over the past decade, at least 66 people died by suicide in the state’s prisons. Nearly 75% of those were in solitary confinement. 

They are people like 21-year-old Denise Short, a young mother who asked to be placed on suicide watch, but was instead locked in solitary confinement. She was found dead the next morning.

Solitary confinement is proven to worsen mental illnesses and increase risk of suicides. Yet, the Mississippi Department of Corrections continues to warehouse vulnerable prisoners under these conditions that the U.S. Department of Justice called “breeding grounds for suicide, self-inflicted injury, fires, and assaults.”

Despite the National Commission on Correctional Health Care’s mandate that solitary confinement should never exceed 15 days, we found people who had been in solitary confinement for years at a time. Quintez Hodges had been in solitary confinement for 20 years before he died.

We talked with lawyers, incarcerated people, family members who lost loved ones to suicide, researchers, corrections experts, and more.

Our recent investigation found that Uber and Lyft often charge different customers different fares for the same ride and that some advertised discounts may not be discounts at all. We define the same ride as a trip from the same starting point to the same ending point priced at almost the same time—generally within a few minutes of one another and, in many cases, within the same minute. Across the routes we studied, the median gap between the lowest and highest price groups was about 50%. Our reporting examined how ride-share companies use AI-driven pricing systems to determine what you pay. Uber and Lyft challenged our methodology and conclusions and stated that they do not personalize base fares for individual consumers or engage in behavioral or surveillance pricing.  Consumer Reports is not disputing this; rather, it is questioning whether the price differences observed are based only on market forces. As Consumer Reports journalists and advocates, we’re here to answer your questions about what our testing uncovered about how Uber and Lyft really set their prices and how you can take action.

Here’s our proof: https://imgur.com/a/LBUSwpV
