    Canada opens new residency paths for military recruits, other workers

    I cannot speak for nurses, but International Medical Graduates are currently being fast tracked by most provinces. In MB for instance, the program is run by UofM and lasts from 3-12 months. Preceptorship is done at all six of the Wpg hospitals, and some of the more northern ones. The CF funding...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    I know I'm repeating myself, but the world is creating new trade relationships that will freeze out the US for a long time to come.

    At the risk of being pedantic, what they want is to "eat their cake and have it". Anyone can have a piece of cake and subsequently eat it. The trick is to eat the cake and still have it left. This is what they want.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I respectfully disagree. I think the world has learned "once bitten, twice shy". The new global market relationships are probably here for at least several cycles, until the we are confident that the US has pulled its head out of its arse.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    I think this is exactly the tactic they're counting on. Make going to vote too perilous to risk the chance of apprehension, notwithstanding your legal status. ICE can arrest you, and take hours to days to release you, well past the point where the polls have closed. I would expect an ICE surge...

    For those keeping score, this would be consistent with step 6 of the stages of authoritarianism. One might argue that the ICE raids and demonstrations are step 7, completing the transition, but I think that will be reserved for invocation of the Insurrection Act. The seven stages, according to...

    Becoming a reservist need advice please

    It is quite reasonable, and common for people to join the Reserves in an occupation that is different from their regular work.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    So, my youtube is frequently populated with police videos. One of the things I notice is that in nearly every encounter, the police approach calmly, and almost always start with non-lethal force. The ICE videos I've seen show none of that. From my perspective, ICE appears all in, all the time.
