It’s good to a point. You have to have the social supports to maintain a minimum standard. Letting too many people in at once and suddenly nobody has houses or doctors is not a good outcome for new or established Canadians.
Also reminder that voluntary immigration and temporarily accepting persecuted people for humanitarian reasons are different things.
Didn’t the plot rely on getting shipyard workers to work outside their paid hours? That’s not the Union Man Rom I know!
The monitor would flicker and in its reflection you would see the shadowy figure take a step closer to you. You dared not turn around but you knew what would happen if it ever got to 5.
The AI browsers took my Arc they better leave my Zen Browser TF alone with these shenanigans.
Denmark is attempting Schrodinger’s VPN ban. Seems like every week it’s defeated and re-emerges. What a waste of administrative time.
I’ve seen more than a few restaurants in my downtown advertise variations on their Old Fashioneds featuring rye or Alberta whiskey. Can confirm just as delicious.
The absolute ridiculousness of the narrative that the profiteers are doing anything useful at all.
I don’t think I ever saw a steel beam do so much heavy lifting.
Shaka, his eyes sausage!
EU: Okay so we’ll stop buying US munitions to send to Ukraine.
US: “No wait no like that…”
Fucking good. I’m tired of the petty North Atlantic and Arctic sabotage missions. Ukraine can keep hitting oil refineries and eventually they won’t be able to afford to buy foreign fuel.
And yet my own skills and experience are still at my fingertips.
Sure. That’s why we have a system that fast-tracks professions in need over those without those qualifications.
We opened the gates in COVID because businesses convinced gov’t that there was a worker shortage (e.g “nobody wants to work for as cheap as we want to pay them”) in unskilled categories like hospitality, and because our student visa requirements are so lax that they effectively allow full-time employment instead of going to school. IMO these are two areas that need policy reform.
We also have valuable people who have immigrated returning to their expatriate countries because the path to citizenship promised is taking years or decades longer than they were promised. That’s just as unacceptable to me and we have to do better to retain doctors, engineers, and other professionals from whom we could mutually benefit.
