The Province itself is suggesting this - the Ford government has not yet decided on their position!

Very relieved for my client. Refugee Claim accepted for a young man from Ukraine who's family has really been through hell. RPD Member was so kind to him today. Truly appreciated it.

An excellent conversation, including a thought around Trump potentially using the US military as a mercenary force for his gulf state donors.

So the CIA World Factbook no longer exists. Reading to prep for a Refugee hearing for a Ukrainian.

IRB's National Documentation Pack still linking to it, but its gone.

The remarks on the site seem pretty sad that its gone.

My World Is the Sun (2026) album cover

This album by Dominque Fils-Aimé dropped on Friday. I've listened to it everyday since.

An incredible take on modern jazz with soul and even some ambient style soundscapes. Can't believe I'd been spacing on her. #cancontent #newmusic

Very good topic. Recently installed Linux on an older pc at home. Starting to play with it, see the learning curve & what tools would be needed to move a small business over.

Trump lives in the tactical and operational world, with no consideration given to the strategic. Plan the attack, move the pieces, before figuring out why you are doing it....

It took a massive submission, but we were able to satisfy the visa office of their successful life back home and their short term intention. Sisters can catch up on life. Kids can play with their cousins.
Canadians take for granted the power of our passports to travel where we choose.

Sometimes a "yes" can give you all the energy in the world. Yesterday we got approvals for a family from Central America to come visit Canada. All they wanted was two weeks to visit close family in my city, but they had been refused twice and were losing hope.

Government of Canada - Website Error Message - We're Sorry Something is Wrong. Our Server is Down. bla bla bla  bla

IRCC online portals have been down more than up recently.
Was down Friday, apparently back up on the weekend. Monday was so bad that CBSA couldn't even print work and study permits at the POEs. Got a bit done yesterday and today I'm getting this again. Starting to get a backlog of work.

This is a great point. Carney's analogy applies inside the US as well. Everyone needs to take the sign down. Nostalgia is not a strategy.

We also need to be concerned with a CWII spilling into our territory, especially it if starts in a place like MN.

They actually bombed the mausoleum where Chavez was buried. So his being dead for 12 years didn't stop them for nailing him.

Firing over 100 immigration judges.

Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.

Pausing asylum decisions.

And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.

Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

Black Friday 2024 purchase - a PS5. After 11 months the controller was stick drifting so bad...was going to try to make a warranty claim, but feedback is that its a huge hassle & sony makes you pay to ship it to them. Disassembled ( tricky!) & cleaned potentiometers, controller works great!

Fearing fraud, Canada rejects most Indian study permit applicants Canada’s clampdown on international students has hit applicants from India particularly hard, government data shows, as what was once a preferred destination loses its allure for Indian students.

Huge change in both volume & approval rate of study permit from India to Canada.

August 2023 - 20900 applications, approval rate 68%
August 2025 - 4515 applications, approval rate 26%
