  • Carney stole his policy book. So Pierre Poilievre is going full anti-immigrant

    Jump

  • it always should have had a requirement of training an alternate candidate or showing some other longterm solution

    Requiring the hiring of 1 trainee/apprentice type position locally for every TFW hired could be a helpful return to the original intent.

  • I honestly can't see how people defend the TFW program

    How it was originally intended (for attracting specialized skill professionals who are not available in the local economy) is defensible, but what it has been expanded to become and how far too many employers abuse it is not defensible.

  • yet we allow pharmacist to refuse to provide plan B without being fired.

    In some states they are legally required to refuse to provide it.

  • it would end up forcing countries to stop cooperating generally with the US.

    Trump's actions (and those of the people he appointed) have already set that in motion.

    Governments around the world are making agreements among themselves to avoid doing business with the US.

    The boycott USA movement is citizen led and is growing across the world.

    The Americans will find themselves increasingly irrelevant on the world stage, though they may not bother to notice for a while.

  • mobile web browsers, most websites would serve either a separate style sheet that gave a simplified layout

    A simpler layout and usually a more lightweight page in general because mobile data was slow and expensive back then.

    If someone wanted people to actually use their site on the go, they had to make it load quickly and not cost $5 worth of data doing it.

    He found his church to be a convenient venue for his hate speech.

  • CCTV cameras as crime prevention. They rarely work, as folks desperate enough to commit regular street crime simply aren't deterred.

    Combine that with the reality that identifying people from surveillance footage can easily be defeated be employing advanced counter technologies such as "generic black/grey hoodie"

  • Haven't there been countless sci-fi movies and novels warning us about the many ways this approach can go horribly wrong?

  • Canada confirms work underway on review of tariffs on Chinese EVs, steel and aluminum

    Jump

  • On one hand, diversifying our trade away from the US and it's hostile government is a good thing, but on the other hand, we don't want to trade one abusive partner for another.

    By all means reduce trade barriers from China, but don't go so far as to make us completely reliant on them either.

  • 2 more Toronto speed cameras cut down, as Ford urges city to do away with 'tax grab'

    Jump

  • But a cop isn't pulling over every single driver doing 50 in a 40 zone.

    No, but having one pulled over does a really good job of slowing everyone else down and making them aware that there is active enforcement happening right now.

  • I'm sure their insane pricing had absolutely nothing to do with it at all. Nope

    That may be reducing domestic travel, but it's pretty far down the list of reasons why I won't travel to the USA.

  • Some of it's actually rail and not roads

    Such as the more northerly line running east from Winnipeg.

  • with highways connecting the many towns and cities, settled because of agriculture.

    And those towns were originally settled by farmers getting land adjacent to the railways, centered around the railway stations. They needed trains to get their produce to market, and to order their supplies from "the big city".

    Those early railroads had to build a water station about every 30 miles, as that was the distance the steam locomotives of the day could travel before needing to get more water. There were larger stations every 3rd or 4th water stop to re-supply with coal.

    The history of the railroads is the history of Canada, especially so on the prairies.

  • Its a good seperatation for political purposes

    Until the mid '90s, the map on the wall in the public area at Queens Park was cropped off just west of Sudbury.

    Something my friends in Thunder Bay found indicitave of the level of attention and support they got from the provincial government
