Seeing Canadian issues through a multi-cultural lens. Writing on some of these issues, too. Often mistaken as a 'c/Conservative' or 'right-winger'.

I am trying to understand the reason(s) why so many people, including seasoned journalists, believe that a government exercising the powers granted to it by section 33 of the Constitution is / would be unconstitutional.

In recent years, the expression ‘bending the knee’ has acquired a specific socio-political connotation.

That’s not what Pierre Poilievre is doing here. His action is more properly described as ‘religious genuflection’. Given the venue & event, it shouldn’t be controversial.

I had never heard of Ryan Whitney until today, but now I know that he is an absolute trash person.

I won’t RT his post with that vile image.

An Elver Fisher’s Plea:

Last month, the Minister of Fisheries axed 1100 fishing jobs. She did this without meeting with a single impacted fisher. Regardless of what you think of the Elver Fishery (my livelihood), please ask yourself the following questions:

1. “Is it acceptable

Received a response to my query to David Eby Rachna Singh & Lisa Beare about Cambie College. Copy below.

The college moved to a new address (in Surrey) on April 5, 2024.

I must applaud Eby & team for responding with detailed info. Credit where credit is due.

Cdn govt just launched a pilot project for 8 companies to bring in foreign workers on *LMIA-exempt* work permits.

Without a hint of irony, the announcement says:

“Canada wins when cutting-edge companies keep operations, profits and jobs, here at home.”

“So I wrote a column …and the insults on my feed are something else. No one is forcing you to read.”

The [No one is forcing you to read] part goes both ways, doesn’t it?

Minister Miller: “We’ve taken some important steps to strengthen the international student visa system and will not hesitate to do more if need be.”

How about Canada signs on to the international agreement on ethical recruitment of students from abroad?

Do that, minister.

From the heyday of Covid measures (April 24, 2021):

If you are going to this park, don’t bring your geese along. 😁😁

CBC:With changes in tax laws, doctors may leave the country.

Minister Valdez: We will fast-track foreign doctors’ credentials.

But won’t they also leave? (After getting Canadian citizenship, to the US)

What about current students in Canadian med school? Will they stick around?

I have deleted my post about what seemed like Ukrainian colours on an MP’s scarf.

As pointed out by many, the scarf also had green in it, which I had missed seeing.

Therefore, my question about it being a prop does not apply.

Apologies for the confusion.
