politics

obviously that would never get passed

unfortunately

Yeah of course

lmao

the last time a political party passed rules that limited themselves was probably 200-300 years ago

well well well

(translink is not a tranny thing)

Also pika for the record Pelosis laptop was stolen

But they tracked it down instantly

yes I know

thats why I specified nothing was leaked

making it meaningless

Hey I literally just ranted about this

They are cutting it down from over a million to 350k

(its a 2 year cap because its a gambit to try and win the election)

In America, colleges make their money from foreign students, so there are a lot of them but there are so many colleges, and the big ones have in-state quotas too. There's also the pressure that you will get deported if you overstay your visa (or fail 2 classes) and once its over, it's not much easier to parlay that student visa into a permanant one

I can't imagine Canada, with 10-15 total universities, dealing with that many foreigners

its degree mill colleges

I think the stat I saw was we actually take about as many international students as the US does despite our pop difference

which is why it is fucked

...

that's

insane

it is

again, 2.5% of our pop in international students

was the figure I was seeing

and 90% of those from india

we're 10x bigger by population, and probably 20x by number of colleges

Yep

It is actually insane here

dude

I was close

it's actually ~20x

there is a reason why Gent does not get when I talk about Indians and Chinese being more of a problem here than black people that I am not lying for effect

it is actually really bad here

3,900 vs 230

Also spooky, consider this

90% of our schools are within 20km of the US border

so not only way less, way more condensed

so Ontario in particular is absolutely flooded with international students

I feel like Canada's demographic problems are going to become a big issue

which is also part of why housing right now is like 2-4k in rent a month

and there are no houses for sale since they are being bought to rent out by companies

yep, that's the problem everywhere

it's imo pretty easy to fix

You guys are just catching up to us though

but it's a direct impact to boomers (taxing rental income) so it's inconcievable

until more die off

The millenium project by the current government is the big issue

they want 100 million pop by 2100
