Inside Doug Ford’s Plan to Starve Ontario’s Universities | The Walrus What happens when a government stops believing in education?

And let’s not forget the provincial governments that have been cutting education budgets to the core, causing universities to use the higher fees paid by International students to fund general education.

Looking at you Fraud

Yes and let’s not forget that the instability turns away potential students and no one but oligarchs want to be stuck in an autocracy or theocracy overnight.

Americans can still study at the Institute if they wish but 45 closed the institute as an option for most of the world.

Buy more products from Canada and the EU?

Can guaranteee Canada and EU will further restrict US imports as a result so there will be less money flowing to farmers and big ag.

Yup. This is making headlines in Canada and if we were not already boycotting us products, we are now. These are forever. Even after 45 is long gone and buried.

They’ve been saying that for a while. Rich people who believe being poor is a moral failing have bought all branches of US government.

Sadly I am discovering more and more that these are real ppl who really think like this

My father was an American military veteran who chose to have us be born and raised in Canada. In big part because of the violent racism 💔

Their loss. My family became very succesful. Their loss

😂😂😂 impressed you replied to the 45 supporting racist.

Per capita we take in a high number of refugees. People from developing countries. But then 🇨🇦 gives them programs and supports to succeed and by and large they do.

The US doesn’t seem to differentiate. It’s like a strange nonsensical lotto

😂😂😂😂 this is so uninformed it’s funny. Biden or 45 did not change anything about your broken immigration system. It’s been broken for years. The world knew before Americans did.

In case you care you just insulted my parents, best friends, partner (many who went from refugees to MDs)…

I see this as evidence of inefficiency because then they will let in someone who speaks no English and has no education. It’s almost random.

For what it’s worth English is my second language and I have a weird set of skills and could have immigrated when I was 18 with no education. 🤷‍♀️

Well it is clearer that we agree on. But stricter because I was honestly shocked by how chaotic and full of holes the US system is. You let in ppl who don’t speak English, for example, whereas we would never. They need a valid English language test result )or French if they want to immigrate to QC).

Canada's Long-Standing Openness to Immigration Comes Under Pressure Canada has long been viewed as a global leader in creating welcoming immigration policies. But amid pressures on housing and services, as well as a surge in admission of temporary migrants, most Canad...

🇨🇦 has spent years designing evidence-based models for integration and success. we use those models to choose who comes in. Now with the situation in the meth lab we expect a big influx so we have to close some doors…

Yes. Our system is stricter because we have a points system. And limited family class immigrants. Very few, if any, unskilled labourers can immigrate here. A few blue collar workers can come for roles where there is significant shortage. Great majority of our immigrants have bachelor’s in STEM or +

He just posted something super racist on the dead bird app about Canada’s multiculturalism policy.

She was upper class. The hillbilly used her to learn how to be around white collar criminals and dumped her. I don’t pity any woman who has children with racists. You reap what you sew

Not just women. We recently got a few new physicians, including experts in Trans care. Experts on how autocracies start, researchers, etc. our prime minister just announced a LOT of money in our federal budget to attract American top talent here…

Most Canadians’ first definition when asked is “Not American” so not quite. One of the few countries, I believe, where self ID is based on not being like your neighbour 😂

Meet the requirements to submit a refugee claim - Canada.ca Who can apply for refugee protection (asylum) online from within Canada.

The main reason you could not claim refugee status in Canada is not age. We don’t have age limits. It’s that the US is still considered a “safe” country www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...

Didn’t some country just give him a real one? Pretty sure he carries that one wherever he goes. I guarantee Melania stares at it rather than looking at him every time she has to do her wifely duties 🤢

Then they would all be charged by Bondi, or arrested by ICE. At the least they would all lose their jobs and be replaced by more formerly “media”

Thank you! Not only are women socialized to be polite and smile in a feminine manner, but this thing yelling at her has a history of using his power against women (beauty pageants, first and second wife, girls Epstein trafficked To him…)

Sounds like victim blaming to me. You are being verbally abused and rather than focus the anger on the abuser, people wonder why the victim didn’t fight back

Significant power imbalance here. Are her bosses, the only ones 45 cares about, going to stand up for her? Doubt it.

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.
