My understanding is we already have sensibly restrictive gun laws but a problem with illegal guns coming in from the States.

Unironically, yes. Fuck cars.

Question unclear. Are you asking if I'm painting all Americans with the same brush? Or are you asking whether my rejection of "justified" is representative of the morals of all Americans?

Interesting choice of words there with "justified". Not "legal" or "expected" but "justified". Meanwhile, every American ever thinks they can move wherever the fuck they want but let's pretend that other people thinking that is somehow "unjustified".

Now somebody needs to kidnap Jude Law and keep him in a basement until after the white smoke.

Two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents, dressed in plain clothes, had shown up and instructed the staff to stage a fake meeting in the basement so they could apprehend him, according to Gad. Hospital staff were distraught but felt forced to comply.

STOP COMPLYING YOU FUCK HEADS

That's because they keep trying to build houses whose primary objective is to be profitable for developers and/or investors. They keep building either suburban subdivisions or isolated condo towers. We need to be building to house people, not to create profit, i.e, we need to be building off market housing. And to make it work, we need to be building housing in transit oriented, mixed use walkable neighborhoods, not in car centric suburban sprawls.

Yes, there is a massive labour shortage in sectors such as healthcare and the skilled trades: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/committees/cimm-nov-25-2024/labour-shortages.html

Youth unemployment has to do with the particularities of students looking for temporary jobs in the services sector and the lack of training opportunities https://lmic-cimt.ca/the-state-of-youth-employment-in-canada/ https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/november-2024/youth-employment-opportunities/

That's silly. Canada needs more people, and we will probably be forced to take in people from down south soon enough, if they have a hot/violent summer. We need to build up out of the current crises, not pretend we libe on the moon.

Build up:

  • More walkable, transit oriented mixed use, dense and off market housing.
  • Fast track recognition of credentials of newly arrived professionals
  • Invest in interprovincial infrastructure: trains, renewables, smart grid, fast internet
  • A civil defence corps to prepare for climate resilience and emergencies
  • A civil service corps to rebuild and revitalize rural and indigenous communities

It's called Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, you wouldn't like it anyway.

 

Given the rapidly evolving political landscape in the United States and reports of individuals encountering difficulties crossing the border, [the Canadian Association of University Teachers] strongly recommends that academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary.
