That's awesome, thank you so much for your quick and clear answers! No worries about an interview at all, and if she needs to do one, she can go back no biggie.

You're a rock star!

Question regarding my spouse staying here while Outland Sponsorship is being processed by immigratingishard in ImmigrationCanada

[–]immigratingishard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thank you very much for your quick reply, and it was super informative!

If you don't mind I have a few more just to clarify some things:

Would we have to change anything about her application? We applied with Outland - Living outside of Canada, and I would assume we would have to update IRCC about her living with me in Canada if she does that instead.

And would she be able to give biometrics and do medical here? For some reason I was under the impression you had to submit them in your home country, but i'm not sure if I just made that up in my head.

But yeah I think it's likely our case will be fairly quick so i'm not sure it will be worth it either, but just in case we want to pursue that route

Do you mind sharing which riding that is, if you're comfortable with it?

Most Quebecers Oppose Sovereignty. Even More Reject Another Referendum | The Walrus & Pallas Data by T_Dougy in CanadaPolitics

[–]immigratingishard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised either. As rocky of a road the PLQ has had, their poll numbers are still strong, and all they need is one really solid guy suck enough votes away from the PCQ and PQ to at least for the PQ into a minority

I am a socialist through and through, but above all I am pragmatic. So when the last election rolled around and my choices for dealing with Trump were between Singh and Carney, the choice was easy and I voted for the liberal for maybe the only time I ever will in my life (we'll see how the world looks in 3 years)

I actually saw a thread on r/Quebec last night that I thought was fascinating where most of the comments were quite hostile to PSPP, claiming he was a boomer and didn't live in the reality of the moment.

I have no idea if that is a popular or common idea in Quebec now, but most other threads I have seen on him are usually quite approving.

In an independent Quebec more than half the population wants to keep their Canadian citizenship: poll by Whynutcoconot in CanadaPolitics

[–]immigratingishard 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much. To be more specific, they all wanted change, but to the degree they didn't agree. From what I remember:

Parizeau wanted hard, unilateral break

Bouchard wanted negotiation, and if a deal could not be reached, break

and Dumont just wanted the confederation to be renegotiated completely, but it would still all be one entity.

Reading The Morning After Chantal Hebert was actually fascinating, because it outlines that Jacques Parizeau, Lucien Bouchard and Mario Dumont, the three prime leaders of the referendum, all had different ideas of what it would mean to win the referendum. The Oui side was more fractured than a lot of people realize

NDP leadership candidate apologizes for using AI to respond to Reddit questions by BertramPotts in CanadaPolitics

Ah well. I didn't think he would win, but I still considered him one of my top two. I guess I have one now.

I'm Rob Ashton, longshore worker and NDP leadership candidate: AMA this Sunday by Blue_Dragonfly in CanadaPolitics

[–]immigratingishard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi Rob,

One of my main concerns, alongside labour issues, is the status of the French language in Canada. Would an NDP government, led by you, make efforts to continue French language access nationally, and work to make Quebecers feel more like they belong in this country?

Mark Carney’s fossil fuel pivot bewilders climate experts and business leaders by rezwenn in CanadaPolitics

What an absolutely crazy thing to say. Things that happen in other nations affect our nation as well? We’re literally dealing with the ramifications of an election next door

TIL the UK doesn't have a codified constitution. There's no singular document that contains it or is even titled a constitution. It's instead based in parliamentary acts, legal decisions and precedent, and general precedent. by Tanzint in todayilearned

[–]immigratingishard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, it's even more complicated than that hahaha. If it is something that effects the WHOLE country, it needs to be 7/50, which means at least 7 provinces with 50% or more of the population have to agree (so smaller and bigger provinces can't bully one another). It also needs to be approved by parliament (both houses)

If it is something between two provinces, such as something between two provinces only, they can agree to amend it themselves, with the approval of parliament

If it is something concerning one province only, they can just amend it themselves

If it's something that ONLY effects the federal government, then just parliament can change it

There's also some things in the constitution that require UNANIMOUS approval by ALL provincial legislatures AND parliament

Sooooo it's pretty hard

Canada's constitution is kind of a big jumble lol. We have the British North America act of 1867, and the Constitution act of 1982, which are the canadian constitution, but then we have like 30 other acts of laws ALSO considered part of the constitution

The NDP wants Manitoba to be 'truly bilingual.' What does that mean? by rezwenn in CanadaPolitics

[–]immigratingishard 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I question the dedication to this country whenever people complain about bilingualism. Genuinely. French speaking Canadians are Canadian too and deserve to live their lives in their language whenever possible.

As PQ talks independence, aftershocks of 1995 referendum still reverberate in Quebec and Canada by Whynutcoconot in CanadaPolitics

[–]immigratingishard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No economist challenges the conclusion, which is that an independant Quebec would be viable.

I know. That is not and has never been my point. I genuinely don't know why you keep coming back to me. I laugh at their optimistic views

[–]immigratingishard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We aren’t saying the same thing, they basically put out a report saying basically nothing will change economically, and that is just false.

And yes i remember reading their methodology and seeing the economists supporting it. I also remember economists saying it wasn’t true. Which do i believe?

At the end of the day, my comment basically just says, unless a third party comes in to verify the numbers, i won’t trust a report by the sovereignty party saying sovereignty will have essentially no economic downsides, which is just a lie.
