gotta maintain that supply of maple syrup

I do not think he'd do as well here

“Close the borders, focus on Canadians”

That sentiment is growing popular

Unironically something they should do tbh

but you'd need someone different than how trump is

i wish we had that in the US

Loveland, did you see the latest stats

Trump but nice I guess

over 1 million international indian students in Canada right now

+ their families

that is at a minimum 2.5% of Canada's pop

Yeah I heard about that during the diplomatic incident

I was sad nothing really came of that

its actually crazy

Aren’t a majority of the Sihks? Which are a pretty small population of India to begin with?

I thought the chinese were bad, but that is just selection bias because Uwaterloo is mostly chinese because we are a real school

the fact that shitter degree mills can even take international students is insane

It’d be worse in BC, I heard Vancouver is a Chinese city basically

It depends where you are, but yeah

my town is very indian because of the proximity to conestoga college

which used to be an okay trades school and now is just a shitty indian visa mill

I wonder if Trudeau actually loses this election

housing/ cost of living crisis is making people way more mad than usual

does canada have a term limit for PM pika

no

you can in theory run and win forever

Mckenzi King was like 15-20 years, but that was during the wars

most pms only last 8-10 years

i wish more positions had term limits

a PM can also call an election whenever they want

so Trudeau called one 2? years into one of his terms

so he is technically on his 3rd elected run as PM

wait you can pre-empt an election?

The rule is you must have an election after X amount of time

you can have it whenever you want before

so just call it when it looks easiest to win

Usually early elections are a gambit

"I want to pass this thing, if you really hate it, vote me out"

Harper and Trudeau both did it in recent memory

i wish US congress had term limits

some of those dinosaurs have been in there since pre-historic times

No term limit, just age limit

you can start running at like 40, you must retire at 65 or something

too old and too young both have problems

Honestly, easy fix for poltiics

you cannot run if your immediate family held a political position

so if your dad was a congressman, you cannot be a politician

your kid can, but you can't

that kills generational politics
