This should be research that Justins new build back better could go towards, getting in on the ground floor could be profitable for Canada, and good for the climate. i hope this is the break we are looking for, if not perhaps a stepping stone that leads to something else.

The Liberals had previously increased both our acceptance rate for refugees and the numbers permitted to settle here well beyond what the Harper government allowed. Now it's almost doubling the numbers again because... because it's 2021! And we're nice! That's why we're going to accept more refugees than Joe Biden, even though the US has vastly more people. But there's a problem with that which the noble progressive politicians don't seem to get. Many of those refugees wind up impoverished and homeless. But hey, who cares! It's the grand and noble gesture that matters! Not the results! Especially when a compliant media rarely ever mentions the results. But when you bring in tens of thousands of people from the third world without any screening for education, job skills or even suitability, well, what can any reasonable person expect? In making the announcement, Mendicino claimed that the success refugees see in Canada is a reason that “Canada’s light shines brightly.” He added that, “We’ve seen refugees give back to their new communities and their countries, even during the pandemic.” This stirring rhetoric from the minister is unfortunately not always matched by the reality on the ground. A number of recent studies document that a growing number of refugees and asylum seekers wind up homeless, increasing the burden on a system that is already stretched thin, and has only become worse throughout the pandemic. According to 2019 data from the City of Toronto, 40 per cent of individuals living in the city’s homeless shelters were refugees and asylum claimants. Among families staying in Toronto shelters, in 2018, the city noted that refugees and asylum claimants represented a staggering 80 per cent of the total. Similarly, a study of Ottawa’s homeless shelters in 2018 revealed that almost a quarter of those using the shelters were refugees or immigrants. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rupa-subramanya-why-are-the-liberals-doubling-our-refugee-intake-when-so-many-of-them-end-up-on-the-streets

If this is in any way legitimate it is an enormous game-changer. Elon Musk & the ME'ers must be shitting their pants right now. From Elon's POV, there are a lot of problems with EVs that environmentally conscious people are willing to overlook right now because they have no other viable non-petro option, but the ammonia-hydrogen combo apparently has no such obstacles. There are no dirty battery issues, no $10,000 battery replacements, no range issues because extended charging sessions are necessary, and when there's a heat wave the government won't be telling you not to gas up your ammonia-hydrogen car. As far as the major car companies are concerned, this is right up their alley - another internal-combustion engine. "CHECK OUT THE 2025 CLEAN CORVETTE WITH 818 HP AND NO CATALYTIC CONVERTER!" Good luck selling Teslas if this is legit. I wouldn't buy Tesla stock right now with Trudeau's money. For the MEers like SA and Iran this is a huge blow. The world's dependance on them could vanish in just a few years. Countries would no longer be forced to ignore their insane bigotry issues just to keep their own economies running. Look to the Chinese to go nuts with this technology, as they're the world's largest importer of petro products right now.

Sydney, Australia enters a strict two-week lockdown on a handful of positive cases. All the while only 4% of the country is fully vaccinated. Australia is doing it wrong.

If you bring only the highly skilled and highly trained you create another imbalance. They have to compete with one another for a small number of suitable jobs, which leaves most of them stuck in low paying dead end positions. When you bring those who would do those position instead, tension goes down, less disappointed people. But I find the whole immigration concept unsustainable on environmental grounds. We are removing the last remaining large forests, get baked in 49C record breaking heat (and each new year we get new records), produce mountains of garbage we cannot recycle and we are asking for more people so we can do the degradation faster. It will end soon, we should be seeing the signs. Now I want to see what salmon will survive in the Fraser river once the water gets to the boiling point - excessive heat, combined with most of glacial run off going down to zero.

1. Stellar is your word. 2. You are the one saying it's not accountable. I have provided lots of evidence that it's relatively good and you keep stating that it's not accountable and not a democracy, zero accountability in this paragraph. 3. "Minimal" standard hasn't been met and yet one of the highest rated in the world. I do think that we have lots of room for improvement, but hearing your hyperbole is getting too tiresome even for someone looking for something to post about. If you can't admit you are blinded by your own negativity, and unable to determine subjective from objective then you really need to stop posting.

1. Yes. We are far better off, in terms of democracy, than most. To say it's 'gone' is an exaggeration.

It’s all about votes. Just like with Democrats, the Liberals believe that the more people they bring in from other countries, and whom are dependent on them, the more votes they’ve secured for future elections. That way they don’t need to rely on as many pesky Canadian born voters.

Sounds like a buncha cold fusion to me. I got some primo swamp land for sale Step right up

Wouldn't that be great, but did you see the disclaimer at the bottom? Still...one can cross their fingers and hope.
