South African doctors made a lot of sense 20-30 years ago when they fled after Apartheid fell. A lot of brain drain happened in South Africa at that time period.

Is that still going on? I thought that was a lesson learned from Covid due to spreading the virus from one workplace to the next.

There is a argument to be made that paying for education for services that are needed will reduce costs in the long term (for example the amount of PSWs that will be needed to help care for a increasingly elderly population). That being said I agree that step one should be to get to a surplus...

Considering I would not directly benefit from this other than having people with the skills we need in society trained to do so without a huge debt load over their head, I am fairly unbiased on this. If anything it would financially hurt me for the benefit of society. OAS cuts would also harm...

So what do you call OAS then? Take food away from a working family and give it to someone making well above that working families income just because they happened to live in Canada for 10 years fund? We give 9150$ a year to individuals making 93k a year over 65. If we can afford to do that we...

Everything has a cost, including indebting our youth for essential programs required to do jobs necessary to keep society functioning. One of two things happen with the current system. Either a) people stop taking those programs resulting in a shortage of key workers (PSWs, early childhood...

This is why I advocate for free education, especially if it has a job in a related field at the end. We still need early childhood educators, etc. but it is unreasonable to saddle them with a ton of debt especially when the jobs pay poorly. Sometimes value to society isn’t determined solely...

Looks a bit like this…

Don’t forget throwing every Reserve infantry regiment and their dress uniforms in there.

By any chance did she every have anything to do with the port alberni steam engine? Coles notes: The government took back the steam engine from the volunteers who restored it and brought it up to functioning again. The woman in charge of taking it back once sorted out failed to keep up on the...

A small number. There is also substantially more who don’t. It is easy to point to the egregious examples and say ‘look it is all their own fault’ when the reality is multiple generations are struggling no matter how fiscally disciplined they are or not. There is pretty much no one who buys a...

Two a year with two being mothballed at the 12-15 year mark. Keep them until the 24-30 mark and sell off the half used ships to friendly nations. In event of war we can have a 48-60 ship fleet of fairly modern well taken care of ships available plus facilities capable of making them at a...

3$ a day in 1970 is a about a hours wage in 1970. Today it’s about 1/10th a hours wage. That 1.3m 40 years from now could be only worth 130,000k in todays money based off similar inflation rates. It isn’t nothing, but it certainly isn’t a huge potential amount with how much our income is...

Your generation started the whole being pampered by the state, Trudeau Sr. was put in power by your generation and the long term cost of his policies have just been taken on in debt. You all didn’t pay your way and now complain about those who are born into the system you all created not having...

So Musk has already been found to have illegally accessing data through DOGE. This isn’t speculation, it is fact having gone through the courts. https://fortune.com/2026/10/22/federal-judge-ruling-doge-opm-broke-law-access-sensitive-data-elon-musk/ Is it a witch hunt to pursuit criminal...
