Which by and large is a provincial matter, as education is provincial. Then...with 8 of our provinces being run by conservatives now, how are kids going to be fed differently or more effectively if PP takes power? More so, if they can't do something as simple as feeding kids, why should we believe that PP can fix the housing crisis when he already tried a decade ago and built like 20 units for half a billion dollars? The hope for me would be that they pause carbon tax increases in the future allowing the population to retain more of their earnings as disposable income to buy stuff like food, shelter, and clothing for their families. Then from there the parents would be responsible for taking care of their children. Edited September 10 by Bure_Pavel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean, the fact that the cops caught the guy (and yes, international law enforcement co-operation is a sign of the system working as it should) then yes, I suppose I'm "spinning" it....

You do realize that the Canadian government as a body, especially immigration employees and police/CSIS, as in your latest attempt to "keep us informed", don't actually "belong" to any particular political party, right? And people post negative things about the Liberals and NDP. That's just silly. I've made numerous posts about the TFW program being abused and needing changes. I'm likely voting NDP. If you want a change from Liberals but think things like wage gap, corporate lobbying/profiteering etc are issues (they are), I'd HIGHLY recommend people vote for them too over the Conservatives who will only make those issues worse than the Liberals have. But I can also tell you I'm not a big Singh fan (though he's less bad than the other two) and I really didn't like their flip flop on the carbon tax. I also didn't like their sentiment that if you criticized the clearly flawed TFW program that your an anti immigration bigot either.

Ah, but if it was just a case of "keeping us informed", then we wouldn't be having this discussion. The Libs deserve plenty of criticism....just not for this, IMHO.... It was your editorializing about what "an embarrassment" the situation was, that started the debate. BTW: Have you been to the BC Politics thread lately? @Bob Long has been tearing the NDP several new ones in there....I think him and @aGENT are just about ready for pistols at dawn.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Ravioli Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Female international students targeted for prostitution by Brampton landlords: Councillor A Brampton city councillor claims that rental ads are exploiting desperate international students, particularly girls, and prostituting them for rent. Concerned residents have begun sharing those ads with councillors, including one first reported by 6ixBuzzTV that gave potential renters the option of free rent, food and a $200 shopping bonus “for those who are okay with friends-with-benefits relationship.” “Because of cultural dynamics, many of these young women don’t even understand sexuality, don’t even understand consent, some of them are completely inexperienced, so the term ‘friends with benefits’ makes it even more horrible, especially if they’re already struggling to find a place to live or the financial means to pay for it,” Santos said. https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/female-international-students-targeted-for-prostitution-by-brampton-landlords-councillor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not asking for a lot, that's pretty much it. Just pay less taxes or pay same amount of taxes (removed scheduled increases) and for the government to stop pissing away money/have a balanced budget. Maybe better immigration policies that factor in stuff like the supply of available housing, but might be asking too much. Some hard decisions will need to be made in the near future to get government spending under control, we need a government that can make calculated decisions through cost and benefit analysis. As much as people wont like it, some programs will have to go, not many options to reduce current overspending as any government will be unlikely to reduce government wages.
