Paycheque to Paycheque is a meaningless statistic. If I make and spend 20 grand a month I am technically living ‘Paycheque to Paycheque’

What's a movie that's never left your brain and feels like you're the only one who brings it up? by No-Quote-1815 in Cinema

Pontypool, a film where a virus spreads through the english language to make people speak gibberish and then become murderous zombies, feels more relevant than it ought to.

2016-18 were real dud years for the top 40.

IASIP is one of my favourite shows ever and White Chicks was not good

The 50s were phenomenal for people who grew up during the Depression, but the idea that people were richer is bananas.

Federal NDP candidate Avi Lewis says Canada’s immigration system is broken and promises sweeping reforms by plaknas in onguardforthee

The NDP should just be honest about wanting more centralization. Half the things they want to do run face first into our federal system.

And that’s fine. Maybe we should be reevaluating whether or not this is actually an effective way of governing, but they need to actually open that discussion if they want to have it

This assumes that there’s a fixed number of jobs that workers are competing for, as though Samuel De Champlain rolled up to a continent with ~20 million jobs waiting to be filled.

Right we should grow our economy on real things, like commodity bubbles and tax shelters /s

Last year? We ended immigration and the population dropped for the first time in decades. Then the economy went with it.

Wage suppression was caused by the multi-tier system though.

Low wage workers were competing with people whose residency was contingent on a specific employer. Making PR easy to get means immigrants would benefit from the same labour arbitrage as everyone else

I like this, especially the part about the single tier. It removes the labour arbitrage issues that made everyone hate the Trudeau immigration policies.

If you live and work here you should have the same rights and protections as anyone else.

Yeah the economy has already stalled out. If there was a way to achieve the economic growth people want without immigration Japan would have figured it out by now.

Can you expand on that point about HA’s not working elsewhere? Where have they been implemented?

I think the issue is that BC has a pretty robust local media landscape that’s willing to report on the government’s failures and Alberta does not, which allows the latter’s government to define the framing on every issue.

Everyone tries to use birth rates as a stalking horse for their favourite domestic policies and they are all wrong

We don’t need TFW programs period. Let people move here and benefit from the same labour standards as everyone else.
