Machjo Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Posted October 25, 2015 Another possibility would be to accept passports other than Canadian or the three language passports only during recessions. This would help to control inflation in periods of economic growth. Quote With friends like Zionists, what Jew needs enemies? With friends like Islamists, what Muslim needs enemies?
Argus Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 But the other 5% is probably still in the millions at least. Okay, but do we want or need millions to come here? I can see many issues with that. And asking me to propose solutions instead of attacking your proposal is kind of strange. You're the one proposing this for a problem you seem to see. I'm asking for clarification and pointing out issues with YOUR proposal.

And asking me to propose solutions instead of attacking your proposal is kind of strange. You're the one proposing this for a problem you seem to see. I'm asking for clarification and pointing out issues with YOUR proposal. My original proposal included giving the language passpprt the value of a work visa. The idea was to counterbalance the fact that if Canada accepted only Canadian passports and three language passports, that the tourism industry could suffer. That said, the original proposal had also proposed that this would apply only to those born five years after the new law is passed, which means that it would be implemented gradually so as to give the travel industry time to adapt. I'd also proposed an Esperanto passport in the mix to ensure at least one language passport that would be easy to obtain so as to mitigate the damage to the travel industry even more while still imposing minimal costs to Canada's translation and interpretation services. Based on responses, I then proposed that we abandon the work visa value of such passports. Then the discussion shifted to how it would decimate Canadian immigration and tourism. So then I proposed acc epping foreign national passports only in times of recession so as to allow Canada to control inflation in times of economic growth by reverting back to accepting only those four passports at those times. In that way it would be integrated into Canada's inflation policy. Quote With friends like Zionists, what Jew needs enemies? With friends like Islamists, what Muslim needs enemies?
