Hey Americans: Don’t want to be oppressed or live in a fascist state? Immigrate to Canada! We’re hella friendly and open to people’s of all kinds, except MAGAs and Nazis and or maga-nazis

Yeah my wife and I just kept our name. Its funny because over the years we sorta wish we would have done the traditional thing as it would make a variety of things easier but now apparently its becoming a brilliant move.

I took my spouse’s name because I hated my old one.
But I will happily be a class representative for the lawsuit against this bill.

My wife did the same, but for unofficial stuff, she uses my last name as hers.
