Oh, now you're just confusing things even more. I was going to reply to @clacke's original post that I've seen both CDNpoli and slightly fewer CANpoli hashtags (I subscribe to both), as well as CNDpoli -- probably for "Canada Poli".
But now @lnxw48a1 pops in with *currency* abbreviations, and that's properly represented as $4.50CAD (maybe "CAnadian Dollar"?)
So should there also be a CADpoli?

@clacke I've usually seen "CDN" in one of two contexts: Money, as in "Tim Horton's pays its employees CDN$4.50 per hour"; or hashtags, as in "#CDNPol" ... But you're right that it makes things confusing.
How does one know which abbreviation to use in which context. Maybe we should just use "FZN" for "Frozen Northland". (I'm joking.)

People on here and on other networks often use CDN to refer to Canada, which I have found confusing. People use it for e.g. hashtags like #'cdnpol or #'cdnmedia .
I finally looked it up and according to a random commenter on a page[0] on The Guardian's website and according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internat… (marked "citation needed") it's for the Canadian DominioN.
In the Olympics, Canada is CAN.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_…The ISO alpha-3 code is also CAN.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166…So it seems it's really just the car sticker thing that got this peculiar abbreviation. And now social media.

I was saddened to hear that Nora Fueten passed away on 10 January 2024.
Nora was my campaign manager for the 2019 federal election. Nora was highly qualified for this, as she had previous run in the federal elections in 2011 and 2008 gaining 7% of the vote, the highest ever achieved by a Green Party candidate in Brantford-Brant.
During the 2019 campaign Nora was indefatigable. She came along on all the door-to-door trips, every debate, filled in my gaps during media interviews, and greeted everyone at every festival and fair. Nora knew everyone, and everyone knew Nora.
Nora was not only a good political mentor, but a fashion consultant as well. Early in the campaign she said “You’ll never win the election with those baggy pants”, and I had to update my wardrobe. Whether it was Nora’s political acumen or good fashion sense, it resulted in a good election campaign.
The funeral service will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, 20 January 2024 at at First United Church, 16 William Street West, Waterloo

I made 🍎 apple-cranberry pie 🥧. The filling is delicious 🤤. The crust is too hard. Not burnt, just hard.
I have been baking from scratch recently. Other than bread 🍞 machine loaves (starting about 2020), I had not baked from scratch since the middle 1970s. -

I tried for over four decades to grow an impressive personality, but it was a lot of effort and not much payoff, so now I'm just trying to grow an impressive beard instead. -

Several other authors of software that accesses the Twitter API have come to that conclusion as well. When #Twidere, my phone app to access Twitter stopped accessing Twitter back in January I pretty much abandoned Twitter. I still check Twitter with its WebUI, less than once a week, but I no longer post or engage there.
But Twitter still gets used by some organizations I do work for, so I do post from their accounts. I wonder how long it will be before they abandon Twitter too.
