Nope but ya can stop whining about your poor situation. Canada is better off than most countries and if you cannot come to grips with that, then there is no hope for you LOL Get over your "Rona" phobia. It ain't gonna make things better nor is it gonna change. We pay for the "stupid" people that over spent and cause the central banks to increase the rates to prevent them from spending more.... all economists will tell you that but hey, you know better LOL "According to the federal agency, household debt as a ratio to disposable income rose to 184.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2023, up from 181.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2022.J" https://www.thestar.com/business/2023/06/14/how-much-do-canadians-owe-in-consumer-debt-for-every-dollar-of-income-latest-numbers-expected-wednesday-morning.html That has nothing to do with "Rona" and everything to do with overspending citizens. 184% increase in debt in one quarter alone....

Fact is Canada has one of the lowest central bank rates in the world, certainly in the G20... https://www.cbrates.com/

Ha Ha HA....

Yeah, as long as you agreed with cdnfux LOL

Yup, you are outstanding in the field...all by yourselves. Never said that. Prove it. You full of BS again. Can't help yourself LOL Said they will be as effective as all other laws.

You and your BS false accusations, they go on and on and on. Sad to see a person fall so low as you have fallen. There is no one on this forum that stands with you. LOL

Ahhh the ole cdnfux still at it....calling people liars again. Never said laws did not make a difference, that is your reading comprehension issue again. We have thousands of laws, many broken every day. One more won't change that LOL Never said "Doing nothing" either. Once again, your reading comprehension has reared it's head LOL Never once made attempts to excuse anyone. You should get professional help for the reading comprehension issue you have LOL

100% correct. Halted? You can certainly try. That is what all laws are for, to halt misdeeds....do they get results they were intended for? A little.

IO get tired of telling you I am not liberal, perhaps it is the reading comprehension=or some other disability along with your inability to play nicely with others. Bottom line,like it or not, liberal or conservative laws, The chinese have played us for decades and will continue to do so.

May be right but....in the age of helicopter parenting, coddling and catering to the whims of immature students is what we have done to ourselves. I certainly hope that you, a mature student are aware that the basically free education system is a drain on our economy. What do you know, cheating in universities ,(and high schools) is going on.... Surprised? I am not.

Ahh, it's a cultural thing. Indians and Chinese are cheaters. Again with accusations but no evidence or proof.

So, you answered your own question of what they spent the money on. They spent it on all the things the students want and of course, increased wages for staff.

Reality will let you know we can pass laws, make noise and threaten but if they want to interfere, they will find a way. Yes, it is garbage but lobbying, overt or covert, is a age old honoured method of peddling influence, be it by a company , organization or country. "Professional lobbyists are people whose business is trying to influence legislation, regulation, or other government decisions, actions, or policies"

I agree with you. What I do not agree with is that China is alone in this interference business.

Tsk, Tsk, always and only Chinese. Your anti Chinese bias is all over these forums.my eyes are wide open, I see clearly and my mind is open and think clearly too. Not a anti Chinese racist. Posting about a Chinese student lured into prostitution in a foreign student discussion LOL

My point exactly. What kind of evidence? Something substantial to back up the assertions. So, there are no facts, just accusations and assumptions. You are saying foreign students are cheating.....? Only foreign students? Are your and the others statements racist just by exclaiming them? What does that have to do with foreign students cheating?

No need to roll over. I just have my eyes open. Clearly yours are as closed as your mind LOL

Wasn't talking to you. Was forewarning some else about you and you did as I suspected. LOL

Whichever one allows him to argue with you more LOL

I have.

How? Why? I have worked in the military where you did what you were told...like it or not. I worked as a contractor without benefits. I worked as a public servant with the mighty PIPSC behind me. I have seen negotiations go in many directions...the give and take and in the case of some, the take was good for the employer and the members got extra hourly wage increase but lost things like some pension benefits. The PS gave away the cost of living adjustments for their pensioners. They gave away some health benefit for those that were over 65. My take is that the only ones that do well are union executives. That having their members off work without pay for 2 weeks takes almost the entire negotiated contract to catch up with what they lost in wages for the 2 or more weeks off.

Your contradiction is funny. "the only ones who've been caught at it". and "What other country did that? Show me some evidence" so clearly, no other country, group or organization has been caught yet. LOL So, with laws, you are going to arrest China?? C'mon dude, how stupid is that statement LOL You gonna take China to court?? And win?? And then what?? They gonna lock up the localrChinese restaurant owner?? LOL You cannot embarrass China. Do you truly think you can?? They turn things around with their propaganda as they do now and you are the one looking foolish. If the laws are not effective, how can it reduce behaviours. We have laws against robbery, drug use, drug trafficking, speeding and on and on and on... reduced?? I protect no one. Stupidity has not political boundaries. Lets remember that it was Harper that signed Canada to a 31 year FIPA agreement with China giving China access anything it want in Canada. Canada sold itself down the Yangtze River. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada-China_Promotion_and_Reciprocal_Protection_of_Investments_Agreement OK, what other countries and how much difference? As you so succinctly put is "Show me some evidence". I never once anytime anywhere was pro Chinese. All our governments have kowtowed to China. Cons and libs alike have sold this country to China.

Lets be real and with reality. The Chinese are not the only country, group, organization that is trying to influence candidates in our elections but hey, they are easy to accuse. The Chinese have now found out how to manage subterfuge even easier. They do not have to do a thing, just say (or leak) that they are and we go into a tailspin. Just look at the Chow situation... did they or didn't they? Makes no matter, they just leaked something and everything is in doubt. As for passing laws... do you honestly think China or any country, group or organization is going to say "Oh Canada has a law so we best stay away? LOL As I have said before and will say again, a Public inquiry will be big, fat, time consuming and expensive and destined for an archive somewhere. If anyone thinks we can pass a law or make rules in Canada to prevent clandestine efforts of foreign (or domestic) electoral interference then they live in dreamland.

Yeah sure..... She has lots of experience out on the waterfront or docks or assembly line . LOL Yes, there are good managers ...and poor ones too. Then again, there good workers out there... and poor ones too. I strongly disagree, most managers today got their jobs because they qualified and met or exceeded requirements. The days of nepotism are mostly long gone. Bad managers in strong union organizations very quickly become ineffective and lose their positions. The sycophants are actually within the longshoreman and teamsters unions in Vancouver (and maybe elsewhere). An old but still valid article https://vancouversun.com/news/staff-blogs/organized-crime-and-the-port-part-one-of-my-series

Lemme see, you equate a secretary to a manager?? A person that gets told what to do as opposed a person that tells what to do with the skills and knowledge and experience of the staff they manage?? P;ease, we understand you are a union person but, we also know unions have outlived their usefulness. Unions and union demands are a big source of higher costs and inflation.
