“Net worth” and other holdings suggest WAY more than the farm being worth $4B. Not Big Ag but pretty deep pockets nonetheless.

A titch more detail -- this, from the decision itself (also attached):

Mod note: Moved the "guy without legal residency status getting welfare court case" material here because it's pretty specifically discussing rules in Ontario. Carry on .... Army.ca Staff

Here's a key bit from the NP article: While it sounds like the front-liners may have recommended x, their bosses seem to have overruled them, so the staffer did, indeed, have his/her hand on the ball that was dropped - you might be right. As to "doing his job," the staffer's only way out would...

If his rules say the guy's ineligible only if he has a removal order, and he didn't, and the law doesn't say "must be a citizen of Canada or permanent resident," how do you know he knew he was illegal? And even if he knew, where in the rules as written say he couldn't get welfare? Looks like...

Yup - since buddy wasn’t subject to a removal order when he applied, it seems to have been allowed.

Well, we saw how smooth and without bumps the RCMP Blackhawk border chopper lease went after being implemented in weeks, so maybe getting it right over a bit longer timeline might be an alternative. We’ll see …

Ah, the OTHER airborne regiment disbandment … The Foreign Legion would have to form a 3rd REP then.

Not Canadian, but here's one way a foreign agent registry law/regulations can work to root out bad actors - in this case, what looks like a South African spy busted at Oak Ridge National labs in the U.S. "Former Oak Ridge National Laboratory Employee Sentenced To Federal Prison For Acting As A...

Agreed. Well, a lengthy, reportedly robust talk about security and defence with POTUS47 got criticized for not including any trade questions - this from folks who say Canada’s not doing enough in defence. This based on questions from reporters. Prioritizing the defence discussion there makes...

Maybe not you individually, but there’s been one or two posts about asking why Canada has chosen in certain situations to be edgy with the US. Can’t say the “bend the knee” sentiment dial is completely zero. But I stand to be corrected if I misunderstood.

Both sides are in the usual can’t win position. Media will get dinged for not asking about a story potentially affecting cross-border trade significantly - in the bag, bought & paid for. Now they get dinged for not leading with a story that’s been in the news cycle for a day or so? Feeding...
