I don't care if they want to work on campus jobs at like, an on campus coffee shop

whatever, do that

have a 2nd tier of work-allowable student visas, quota per-school

they should not be able to work 3 jobs and just skip classes

to use for grad research and athletes

It is going to be interesting to see if literally anything happens when the current goverment loses in a landslide this election

I do not think so, because the Cons are just as corrupt

but I would be interested to see if literally anything came of this

idk, I think the housing crisis in Canada is actually bad enough that something has to change

Something has to give, I agree

immigration is also wildly unpopular everywhere rn

I think current polling is something like 65% of Canadians are against immigration now

we were discussing in VC last night, it's hillarious just how much everyone hates Indians

which is crazy to consider, since we are Canada

they have obliterated their global image

over the last 5-10 years

Chinese at least do subterfuge and are sneaky about it, Indian's are proud to scam systems put in place in high-trust societies

because it is their culture

all the other low-tier countries like the Philippines, Pakistan, and Nigeria have all moved a tier up, while India is on the bottom all alone

There was huge anger here because Indians on social media kept posting about how you can just go to a food bank and get free food, so they would all just do that

funny

Donating to the food bank has always been a big thing in Canada, as a means of supporting those less fortunate

Indians have eroded that because they just take whatever free shit they can get

Food banks are a big Christian thing

very big in the US too

Its not a relgious thing here though, it was just a cultural thing that people did

its run by the government

it's a Christian culture thing*

Sure, but its not run by religious groups is my point

yeah, same here

it is one of those "the church used to do this, but now it is just an adopted practice"

I think the only religious group that does major food kitchen stuff is the sikhs here

I think you understate just how Christian the idea of charity is, and alien it is outside of Christian countries

Asia especially, it's just not a thing

Probably true, since I grew up in a post hyper religious secular society which just adopted the good parts of that

so I just view it as a thing people do

Regardless, I think the trajectory is huge housing market collapse for Canada

there is no way we are not heading there

then trump can buy all the realestate

Pika, I hope this ends with you owning your own Candian mansion

and a huge plantation

Canada explicitly bragged about how in 2008 our housing market survived

and then your economy flatlined when trudeau was elected

I just want to not have to pay 1800 a month in rent for my 1 bedroom

oh Pika, are you going to be in VC later

I can be, why

actually, I guess I can jsut ask you now

did you watch any of that Candians video

the UW grad

who had the graph to explain why he was single

Oh sorry, I clicked it and watched him pull up his degree and laughed, then forgot

been pretty sick these past few days

yeah, nbd

I think I said, it's retardedly long

but I couldn't get over that he had the full meme degree

UW, Software Engineering

and turned out like this

Its funny because software engineering is the stuck up pretentious engineering degree at UW

a degree in how to work together with people

yup

and Canadians kick themselves for not being "good enough" for UW, Software Engineering

it's weird how ubiquitous that is too, the 2-3 non-Phijkchu Canadians I talked with college about in the past, all brought it up

UW is arguably the best school in Canada to go to for CS, and one of the top for engineering

And its pretty highly regarded for math and physics

Softer sciences and humanities it is a meme school, and it does not have a law school so it is not rated as high as schools like UofT in international rankings

these are all the comments too

from other UW grads

does canada not have demand for software?

Most of them go to Cali

The UW to US silicon valley pipeline is a big meme

that is where they all try to go

Most of the competent ones*

Canadian companies pay way less for tech stuff

oh also Pika, I always get this confused

I think he lives literally down the street from you in Kitchner

in one of the apartment buildings that's getting torn down to build migrant Indian housing

Do you have an address?
