The International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans is relocating its 2025 Canadian Employee Benefits Conference from San Diego to Canada. The exact dates and location have yet to be announced.

Why in the everloving fuck was it in San Diego in the first place?

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because not only is it a conference. It’s a boondoggle, and San Diego is a nice place to go.

Ah, yeah, free vaykay in San Degs on the Canadian Benefits dollar. Gotcha.

Good. I live in the US, and that's wise. It's not safe for tourists right now.

We hope you guys can fix your country before it gets too much worse.

Same, but it's likely going to get worse. Too many have no clue what's actually happening, because they're relying on the fourth estate to keep them informed, not realizing that it's effectively been captured.

I still have hope for a bright future, and I hope we can go back to being good neighbors and good allies, but I'm under no illusions that it's "just around the corner" if we believe hard enough.

I live in the US and I'm refusing to travel here until I make my escape. I'm worried they're going to kidnap my trans ass or steal my ID paperwork if I get on anything more than local transit. When I've got things lined up to leave I'm getting on a bus to Canada then flying out from there to limit my exposure to US authorities

Of course. Nobody wants to risk ending up in a gulag just so they can hear about the advancements in bluetooth beamforming technology.
