Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

[PPCLI Guy]

So, yes, I'm 100% for reducing the number of hours an International student can work in Canada, the type of work that they can do (must be directly related to their school programme) and NO Canadian citizen or perm resident can lose their job or be pass over for the international student.

Absolutely agree.

Why not just revoke driving privileges at 80 and let that demographic claim day to day TN costs on their taxes ?

I'm not talking about 80+.

I'm saying if you're 30 and get 6 demerits, you revert to G2.

If you're a stunt driver and get a week long suspension, you have to retest.


Not age - assholes.

Why limit this to driving licences?

So many people would get demoted if the 'demote an asshole' standard was applied. Possibly including me sometimes, I guess.

Why not to both ?

Are you making a personal insult towards me or did I miss something?

lol, only sometimes! Getting a diagnoses as an adult for being on the spectrum did help, realized that other people have built in filters I may be lacking. Usually build in an internal 'pause 2 3' now but that breaks down when tired/burnout (so frequently with the CAF I guess). Still probably blissfully unaware sometimes, so some of it is unintentional. Sometimes it's really the appropriate response though, just maybe not a good 'default setting'.

I think more promotions would put me in the start of the Peter Principle zone though, as it would be almost all people-ing, but all options for future demotion do seem to lead to a potential relase, so a reasonable off ramp option that doesn't get you fired into the sun would be a nice happy medium.

As an aside, for obvious reasons, really ignore me that 'The Peter Principle', 'petering out' and 'Robbing Peter to pay Paul' are all common expressions.

No, I may have misunderstood your reply. I thought you were saying we only need to worry about 80+ drivers. I was suggesting that asshole drivers know no age limits (and was not suggesting you are one).

Apologies for my lack of clarity.

There's around 50,000 international students in Canada who never showed up "to class". Doesn't seem to be an active enforcement to track them down and remove them either.

This is a more concerning program than TFW. Institutions should be responsible for reporting attendance to CBSA, and those same institutions with an attendance gap above Canadian average should have their international student privilege revoked. Any evidence of fraud and we hammer all leadership with the full extent of the law.

Then again, we don't follow through on sanctions for "lowest bidders" that declare bankruptcy instead of fulfilling thier government contracts so why would we expect leadership on this issue?

On the topic of accountability, keean Bexte is being investigated by elections canada. For publishing false statements about a Liberal candidate during the election.

I missed this when it happened. I couldn’t find on here if someone already posted about it. It wouldn’t be surprising if no one did because she’s even more irrelevant than the NDP.

My only comment: should we start a pool on when she gets appointed as a “not-a-Liberal” senator?

Absolutely not. The youth and the elderly need more controls when it comes to driving. I would up the driving age to 21 to be honest. As well our come from aways need more extensive training and probably a longer probationary/accompanied period.
