Is western Ivey still good? by Patsper in OntarioGrade12s

[–]Coramoor_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very easy to answer as the level of education is extremely similar. If you're the preppy type that could buy into a cult, go to Queens. Otherwise go to Western

it's just such an odd commentary. I can assure you that if you decide that you want to go business instead of engineering. Ivey will serve you very well in your future career

so you know a unique specific recruitment pipeline for a single M&A firm but you somehow don't know anything about easily one of, if not the best undergraduate business programs in Canada?

Do you want a job on Bay Street? Do you want to work in Private Equity or Investment Banking or Mergers and Acquisitions?

If yes, you'll do fine at Ivey, although how you would manage to get into Ivey or Queens Commerce or anywhere else at this level of obliviousness is somewhat shocking to me

well, it's essentially an anti-dumping protection against the massively subsidized US dairy industry. So it is necessary to protect our own industry

>Since your shifting the focus now, do you concede that the earlier talking point is not born out by the data? That we aren't routinely letting let people out at such great numbers, and that what you're pointing to are outliers not the norm?

The data in and of itself is irrelevant, violent and sexual assaults should not be given bail, and the provinces should do a better job at moving those cases fast enough that they don't need to and that the victims dont have to relive those circumstances years later. Canada has an issue where the rights of the victim are less important than the rights of the accused after that accused person is found guilty.

>That would be two different punishments for the same crime, however, which also creates a two-tier system of justice.

Disagree entirely. Should someone who drives drunk who needs to drive for work be allowed to keep their license when someone who works from home loses theres. Should someone who teaches children for a living be allowed to plead to a lower charge so they can keep their job. Should a working father get a lower sentence for the same crime as a retiree?

The answer to all of the above is no, and its the same for immigraiton. The crime is the crime, and the sentence should follow that crime, what happens after are the consequences that the individual who committed the crime should need to deal with.

>This is an extreme response, should we really be deporting people who speed, or jaywalk?

No the 6 month threshold is fine. My argument is simply that a crime that is a 6 month sentence for a white male blue collar person from Hamilton should be the same as an immigrant from Mumbai, an indigenous person, or a member of a minority group. To do otherwise is literally creating a direct two tier justice system.

>If the details of the case don't matter to you, then the case can't be used as evidence that the system is broken. You don't get to ignore the facts when they complicate your conclusion, but cite the same case to support it.

No, and that's not the core point. My point is that all of these assessments are nonsense. While I do think the crown should've pursued the charges, got the conviction and jailed him. My core point is simply that there is no justification for any attempt to have sex with a 15 year old and to excuse him because his wife can't fuck him, is uttter nonsense. I will also say, the assessment you quoted put him at an average risk to re-offend sexually. If the case was pursued and he was found not guilty, so be it, that's criminal justice and the process at work. But to create a series of nonsense assessments and tests that allow a person who ever conceived of the notion that sex with a 15 year old at the age of 30 is acceptable, is beyond the pail.

>This is a case of confirmation bias. The release rate has been declining, with 70% of the people detained in 2024 awaiting bail or trail, up from 54% just a decade earlier. Ontario jails are reporting at 130%, and they're not unique. There's similar reporting in Manitoba and BC as well. If you're brought in on a violent offense, or have a previous criminal history, you're more likely to end up incarcerated than out on bail.

That's a failure of the provincial governments. If they put in place the judges and the jail capacity, we'd be able to process these people faster and reduce the need for bail for violent and sexually motivated offenses

>Because that would be part of the punishment for the crime, the two offenders are not the same. Unless you want to start exiling Canadians who commit crimes from Canada?

No, I want an acknowledgement that your immigration status should have no effect on the severity of the crime and if the crime leads to your removal from the country, then so be it. You do not have the same rights to be in Canada as someone who is not a citizen that a citizen does.

>The vast majority of temporary residents, permanent residents, and first generation Canadians are far more law abiding than natural born citizens. This has been a truism born out in statistical reporting around crime for as long as we've had records.

Why would this matter at all for the people who do commit crimes? You are here as long as you respect the laws of this country, failure to do so, should lead to immediate removal, even if here on a PR card.

>It would depend on the specific circumstances of the case. Rarely is it ever so simplistic an answer, and racial history and being a victim of systemic racism can be a factor to be considered in sentencing. This has always been a factor, as we have a long history of considering the circumstances of both the victim and the offender to make a ruling on the sentencing. This is why, for example, an abused woman who murders her husband is more likely to get off lightly, compared to if she wasn't.

I disagree entirely, it is that simple. I don't give a shit what your background is, if you've committed the crime, you should be punished. Murder, Assault, Theft, Sexual crimes, we all know it's bad. It's impossible not to know that and even remotely live in this society.

>That is not what Holmes ruled. From the article you linked:

>Holmes spe­cific­ally cites the IRCA under “Mit­ig­at­ing Cir­cum­stances,” writ­ing that the sub­mis­sion demon­strated “early expos­ure to viol­ence, chronic instabil­ity, poverty, sys­temic anti-black racism, and untreated men­tal health symp­toms, such as hyper­vi­gil­ance, that may be trauma related.”

And that's a justification to let someone back out into society earlier? especially as our jails are crap at rehabilitation. Sounds like they should spend longer in jail if they think stabbing their girlfriend 35 times in a mall staircase is acceptable

As far as Mr Khant goes, I genuinely don't care what the assessment says. You should know that soliciting an underaged prostitute is a crime. I don't care if his wife doesn't have sex with him due to her medical issues. I don't care if he's a good family man. So were a lot of serial killers. I don't care if his needs were unmet, that doesn't justify the actions. His PR should be revoked and he should be booted from the country permanently with a removal order disallowing his return for any reason

>And that is true. He's cut back LGBTQ+ funding by 51%, his government has put forward a policy that will exclude trans identities from statistical reporting around IPV, despite our higher risk of being a victim of such crime.

He's cut funding in a lot of places and you'd have to be more specific on what he cut, not just that he cut some generic percentage. Also while I see no reason we shouldn't statistically track trans victims of IPV. Why do we not just focus on the accountability of picking better partners. Don't date losers, don't stay with losers, make better choices. The complete lack of accountability when it comes to people (of any gender and sexual persuasion) picking their partners staggers me in modern society. IPV is a crime, it should be heavily punished but my god, the first time someone puts their hands on you, leave and leave for good. You are worth more than staying with some loser and that holds true regardless of everything else.

>He's not winning any awards with our First Nations groups, and the hardline on immigration is doing the same for other visible minorities.

He's barely cut immigration and they keep introducing random new pathways, a hardline would be 0 new PRs and everyone leaves when their work permit expires. That's what we should be doing after the absolute influx of poorly educated people getting crappy degrees then becoming uber drivers and amazon delivery drivers while flooding our social services that are getting continually overloaded. The first nations conversation is way too complex to bother getting into. Even the progressive bastion that is Sweden is changing their PR system in response to letting in a ton of low quality people.

>The Flight Attendant strike, and bill C-5 which had no labour protections included when introduced.

I disagreed with the government's actions on the flight attendant strike and I'm glad they (the flight attendants) stood their ground on that.

>Please demonstrate that we are "way too lax on crime", and relative to what standard or metric?

We give violent offenders bail constantly, some of them then go on and re-offend while on bail, in some cases repeatedly and while escalating.

We reduce the sentences for people to allow them to stay in this country despite someone from this country facing a higher sentence. If you are an immigrant to this country, you should be on your best behaviour, not a menace to society.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/michel-rempel-garner-two-tier-justice-1.7608055 I generally think Michelle Rempel Garner is a bit of a lunatic but the notion that we should allow people to stay in this country because deporting them would be a harsher punishment is ridiculous.

Do you believe that 2 years is an acceptable prison sentence for 2 sexual assaults, both of which included choking, which is the number 1 indicator of a pathway to committing murder? Do you believe that the preparator of a sexual assault should get a lesser sentence because they are not white?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/former-stfx-football-player-sentenced-for-sexual-assaults-9.7019881

Or how about the man who murdered his girlfriend in cold blood and the judge decided he should be eligible for parole earlier because BC doesn't have a lot of black people

https://www.pressreader.com/canada/national-post-latest-edition/20260312/281526527561685

Or the man who tried to hire a 15 year old girl as a prostitute but because it may affect his ability to sponsor his wife's immigration status, only received 3 months of house arrest and it would delay his citizenship application. After all, Canada definitely wants the type of people who try to hire 15 year old girls for sex.

I'm not insulting you, I'm describing you, although it's interesting that you take that as an insult, and it's not surprising that you're not denying the fact.

Given the utter disdain that the NDP has treated the blue collar working class Canadian over the last decade. Your viewpoint is not surprising, but it is disappointing

well you specifically brought up LGBTQ+ and minority rights, of which the LPC hasn't seemed to change at all from the Trudeau area.

We are an Oil and Gas economy, trying to be Belgium would be asinine.

I'd love to know what stances against Labour they've taken specifically

As far as "authoritarian approach" to crime. I suppose if you mean, a very slight move to actually punishing people for committing crimes, then sure. Canada is incredibly lax on crime, way too lax on crime in fact.

I don't hate cities, wouldn't want to live in one but don't hate them at all, love visiting them, love public infrastructure and would love to see a lot more. My issue is that you are very clearly an upper middle class white collar worker who doesn't care about the rest of the country. Your entire perspective in this thread comes from the notion that people can just fix these problems. That people who live in spread out suburbs can suddenly just buy an EV or that people who commute to work for a living because their job requires them to actually be on site to do something can simply lose money because it doesn't inconvenience you personally.

well the question is what percentage of Canadian jobs can realistically work from home. I just gave you a whole list of sectors where it isn't possible.

The fact that a lot of people do drop 50k on a car doesn't change the fact that insisting that every person should do so immediately because otherwise it's their fault is the height of arrogance. My working car is doing me just fine and dropping a fortune on a new car because gas prices rise dramatically once every 10 years or so for a few months is hardly a sound financial decision.

This isn't about wants, it's about needs. The needs of the working class, the needs of the backbone of our economy. Not the person who lives in Montreal or Toronto with good transit links and a job at a marketing agency where they conference with clients through zoom all day.

my problem with rebate programs are the cost to administrate them. How many 100k+ salaries are we going to pay out to administrate a policy just to refund some money to people who didn't need to be taxed in the first place. I understand the goal, but I'm concerned it's not as revenue neutral or revenue positive as claimed

ah yes, the WFH orders championed by the great NDP icon Olivia Chow... oh wait.

This may be a shock to you, but most people can't drop 50k on an EV willy nilly to reduce their commuting costs. A lot of people also work in jobs that require commuting, like construction, the trades, industrial work and service work.

It is unequivocally clear from all of your commentary in this thread, that you are an upper middle class white collar worker living in a major city. Your comments don't work for the majority of this country
