“This (law) is the most significant rollback of refugee rights in Canada in over a decade,” said Adam Sadinsky of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers. “It’s disappointing that Canada has joined other countries in a race to the bottom in terms of protection of rights for migrants and vulnerable people.”
What banks in Canada received bailouts, exactly? Even during the 2008 collapse, no bailouts, no small FIs (credit unions) went under.
I think you’re thinking of America.
And in this case, my comment wasn’t about op ex or efficiencies specifically. It’s just a blunt statement that the canadian government can’t handle all the immigration, nor can canadian systems or infrastructure. It’s all crumbling as a result of stupid levels of immigration – which accounts for practically 100% of our population gains for the past however many years. Housing prices fluctuate based on immigration levels – housing costs have been going down since 2024 (before trump and the recent nonsense), the same time that they put harder caps on immigration. If you look at a comparison between the real housing price index and our immigration levels over the past two decades, the spikes and dips match up pretty well.
People unquestionably in favour of immigration don’t look at what it does to the sustainability and stability of existing infrastructure/ecosystems. Introduce an influx of hundreds of thousands of wolves to a pasture, and it doesn’t matter how efficient the 2000 worker sheep may be, they’re all fucked. You can’t instantly create hundreds of thousands of sheep to meet the new demand for sheep from the hundreds of thousand of wolves. Our government can’t manage to do basic checks on even the reported abuses, so it really isn’t any surprise that we have shit like international gang extortion rings in BC these days.
I work for a US Bank. I’m 83% sure I’m thinking of exactly what I think I’m thinking of.
And you’re posting in a thread about Canada. We ain’t the USA’s 51st state, so kindly fuck off.
Bro, I’m fairly certain this dude lives in Calgary. You can work for a US company in Canada, chill the fuck out
Nah. Fuck that. We aren’t America, and if he’s working for an American company/supporting a fascist regime that’s intent on annexing/destroying Canada, he can fuck off too. And he can fuck all the way off if he’s busy trying to say anything about Canadian stuff, by using American failures as an example, because we aren’t America, despite what some shitheads in Alberta seem to want.
I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever gotten such an unhinged angry response after I’ve criticized capitalism and spoken support for strengthening public services.
My post didn’t talk about running the government like a business. The business you compared our government to, was American bullshit. What you put forward was essentially “We shouldn’t run the government based on providing social services, because in failed communist states in the past that’s lead to horrible results!”: “We shouldn’t think about good governance/stability/order, because America’s banks are capitalist shitholes that I worked for and supported as an American shill!”. Canada’s government is based on peace order and good governance, and running a government which is massively overburdened/unable to meet the needs of Canadians is antithetical to that core Canadian value.
So fuck off with your america-centric viewpoint.
And frankly, if you’re working for an American company, while America has become a fascist state? You’re supporting American genocides and war crimes. You’re supporting an America that wants to destroy Canada. You are tolerating things that no moral person would tolerate, and you deserve vitriol for your acquiescence.
I’m amazed that you could read a post that specifically says “we should NOT run the government like a business”, and then lists SEVERAL reasons WHY we should NOT run the government like a business, and then conclude that, in fact, I’m advocating running the government like a business.
You’re so blind with rage that you’ve:
apparently forgotten how to read
don’t even realize that I’m not arguing with you and that we’re actually on the same side of this issue
I’m saying this with love to you as my brother:
Your anger is making you extremely stupid, and you need to step back and cool down. Do some self reflection. Your brain is of no use to anyone, including you, when you’re this high on blind rage.
No quarter for fascists. Enjoy your American paycheque for selling out Canada, working for a fascist US organisation. But don’t expect other Canadians to tolerate you, or to give a shit about your examples/thoughts regarding working for a fascist state’s pin up organisations.
CANADA’s banks are run differently. As evidenced by the lack of bank failures/bailouts that you didn’t bother to stipulate initially were AMERICAN failures, and are the product of a FAILED fascist states implementation of stuff that’s totally different than what we have in Canada. Don’t drag an entire Canadian industry just because you’re a fascist supporting traitor.
