  • Yep. This hardship has been coming at us for over 100years and, given the choice, most people will choose to have some faceless ‘other’ bear the problem than to share the hardship with the rest of the world. The climate crisis is real and this is just the tip of the mass migrations that will want to occur. If we don’t let them in, soon they will stop asking permission.

    Perhaps, with enough propaganda, we could get them so turned back on themselves and they will be too weak to attack us before they realize their true enemy. Western-style politics has proven it a potentially viable strategy.

    The right-wing promises you may be burdened, but others will be more burdened to make you feel like you are not the bottom. The left doesn’t understand, or is unwilling to accept, the emotional deficiency of people like the right.


  • Must be nice to operate a business on the bleeding edge where there are no effective requirements or regulations… My, albeit limited, understanding of how these things work is that sometimes no rules are made unless legal challenges like this lawsuit are made. In that way, win or lose, I think it is important to proceed in order to provide definition to a new industry (assuming a lot about functioning legal and legislative systems, lack of corruption, blah blah… bunch of stuff that doesn’t actually exist, etc.).





  • No. Make more. Flood the market. Pay them reasonably good but fix their work-life balance by having more. Asking for more money is the unimaginative response that people do whenever something is wrong - doctors seem to have plenty of money, so it is probably something else that is wrong.

    Perhaps make deals to train more, and send people to train, in less expensive foreign markets rather than depleting those markets of their much needed doctors by luring them to Canada. People should have the right to move to a different country but blatant brain drain tactics have always seemed morally dubious to me.








  • I think it’s worth pursuing. People who are on programs now that would risk losing those programs by getting a job, could now go get a job, and some of those people will excel and grow and make money and pay lots of taxes. All low wage jobs would suddenly be that much more interesting and there wouldn’t be as much pressure to drive up the minimum wage.

    I’d be curious about how the dollars work out How expensive would it be if we didn’t need AISH, employment insurance, CPP, or any number of other living assistance programs anymore (or which of those it makes most sense to axe, which to keep, and which can be dialed back). Definitely worth exploring the idea, in isolation or in comparison to other cash expenditures.
