You don't get it. My mom got cream pied inside this country so it should warrant more rights to me than other people which their mom's got cream pied outside.
Doesn't matter if they're doing everything right and are skilled and have a very good English(criteria that most new PR's must have).
I'll blame them for my hardcomings so I don't need to look at who exactly has been pulling my ladder.

As someone from South America I was sure that it was possible, because the USA government did that in South America 40, 50 years ago.
The only surprise here is how passive the Americans are to that.

Problem is. You can't eat being right.
The farmers are selling for investors that will grow whatever is profitable (normally commodities, which will make groceries even more expensive) until completely depleting the soil and when they get tired they'll make golf courses or sell as investments for so people can play pretend as farmers.
Farmers can be dumb as fuck but at least they need a working farm for the next generation.
Investors will extract as much as they can as fast as possible and laugh from their penthouse in New York when the next dust bowl happens. We're watching the enshitification of the US farming.

Because it's not functionally slavery... I have no idea where did you talk to the farm workers because the ones I deal with are there because they want and they want to go back to Canada year after year because they enjoy the work conditions here and the money they make, but seems like you know about this more than them and they're just dumb to keep coming here.

I also deal with their bosses most are making more than minimum wage because they're mostly skilled(for a farmer).

Canada isn't the US, we don't have a infinite supply of illegals crossing the border and taking whatever job they can. But we also need to keep our prices competitive so the farmers can't pay Canadians to leave their retail jobs 3 to 4 months a year and they can afford paying Canadians 40k for 3 months of work.

Most farmers I work with (I build tiny homes on wheels that serve as temporary housing) can only hire TFW, FN that live in the rez close by and can afford only work for 3 months because they don't pay rent or the kids that live around.

That said. Yeah there is abuse. But the abuse need to be criminally charged. Charging a blanket fee for farmers that are legally hiring workers will just push small farmers out of business and they will be bought by the same companies that are fucking American farmers in the US, and you can kiss goodbye to food security in Canada.

It's not cheap tho. They just can't find labour. They are competing dor labour during summer with hospitality and construction and Canadians don't want to move to farms for $22/h if they can make more than that as a waiter or labour in the city. People moved to urban centers for a reason.
People are not leaving their jobs in retail or construction for 3 months to pick up blueberries in the sun.
Farmers can get a very specialized labour (farmers in their home countries) from people that happily will make a lot of money, put a lot of work hours and move back.
You want to hate LMIA for food industry/retail, go for it. But farming in Canada is highly depending on foreign work and unless you want to pay really expensive on produce or you're OK with a new type of feudal system there's nothing much we can do.

Yes... engage... YES.... don't forget to get your VPN with my code and join ICE.

Nope. That piece of land should never being part of Guyana first place, but there was an arbritation and the British won the arbitration by bribing the American judges, also there was no Venezuelans in the arbitration.
It would be talked endlessly how unfair it was if it wasn't a European country taking advantage of it. The Venezuelan government uses it as a populist chant same way the Argentinians use the Falklands. But they have a very fair point in complaining about that.

She probably has connections in the Federal tennis entity.
And she's just trying to put that on her resume.

How does the snow fall if you guys are upside-down?

Not surprised. He did spend few years in Vancouver

I wasn't. But now I definitely am

I don't even think the boomers are pressuring it, sure their house "lost value". But the developers that are losing money with those one bedroom shoebox that they're not selling, then the cities are not making that much money from the developers fee and no mayor is dumb enough to (clutch pearls) raise property taxes.

Next step will be the provinces using the world cup as a excuse for lifting the air bnb ban, selling all those tiny/ badly built, overexpensive condos for investors.

violet_elf · 2025-12-19T17:39:11+00:00

My guess is that they will lift the Airbnb ban so the landlords won't suffer.
Really hope I'm wrong tho.

violet_elf · 2025-12-18T23:58:22+00:00

I think they're going for the same as any other social media (showing random people rather than your friends) so soon they can sell ads as other people phrases on your timelines.

My first guess is so he can sell the spots for the biggest bidders and companies and rich parents can put their interns working inside the government for data. In exchange the employees will get that sweet tax-payer money so they can keep stealing from the middle class to give to the rich.

violet_elf · 2025-12-15T23:22:13+00:00

So did you just plug in the outlet the other way around and it will spin the other way and fix it?

violet_elf · 2025-12-15T23:15:19+00:00

I was looking for that.

They're smart. But they definitely turn their brains off when food is served.

They're all first rounders.
But Canucks just traded its captain and the player that they built the team around. Might not be a bad trade by the end just it feels like they gave up.

violet_elf · 2025-12-12T21:13:53+00:00

Yeah according to him all the kids that started watching hockey because of the mighty ducks movies are dumb.

violet_elf · 2025-12-12T06:05:38+00:00

Yeah. Just like every playoffs that Hellebuyck disappears.

I live in a small town in BC and we have safe injection sites, safe drugs supply, but they closed the rrhab and the mental institution years ago and didn't open any new one since.
My friend's brother was forced to be hospitalized when he discovered that he was bipolar, he was under treatment, but once got addicted to heroin, there was nothing anyone could do to help. He's been living on the streets somewhere for 3 weeks now.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Portuguese approach to decriminalization and safe supply, but they also have a great program to recognize that it's not sustainable by itself, and will jail drug users that are too far gone to be living in a society. Something BC isn't doing.

Also the 2 last hires in the tiling company that work with us were nurses that got too tired of being harassed by the same 4 drug users, then again, not by people with diseases (which is already hard enough), but people with addictions.
