I’ve been waiting a long time for a major political party in Canada to push for free university tuition & debt relief. Glad to finally see some movement in this direction from the NDP.
Student debt, while not quite as severe as in the USA, is a serious problem for my generation. I’m almost $30,000 in debt, and that’s likely going to rise before I graduate.
Conservative leadership candidate Steven Blaney says Canada must act immediately to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country.
Blaney is proposing a series of measures he believes will make the border airtight.
They include giving Canadian authorities the right to immediately hand over illegal immigrants to their American counterparts.
He also wants the government to hire an additional 200 RCMP officers and an extra 200 agents at the Canada Border Services Agency.
Blaney told a news conference in Montreal today the new hires would cost about $40 million.
The MP for Bellechasse-Les Etchemins-Levis is also calling on cities to fully co-operate with authorities, especially with regard to illegal immigrants who have criminal records.
That’s a fuck ton of money for something that is going to be virtually ineffective and, when it actually does work, cruel.
Us Canadians are so nice aren’t we? The ‘new hires’ will probably even apologize to the refugees they’re handing over to the rather brutal American authorities! How Canadian!
You know what would work, wouldn’t violate international law, wouldn’t be cruel, would stop the current wave of undocumented refugees, and would cost $0?
Suspending or scrapping the Safe Third Country Agreement.
But somehow that’s never on the agenda when “conservatives” talk refugees.
“Charles Blondin first made the aerial trip across the Niagara gorge in 1859 and thousands watched spectacular stunt shown here. He even stopped in the middle cooked an omelette and ate it.”
Autism Speaks is accepting support from Soldiers of Odin, a white supremacist vigilante group, and happily featuring their group portrait on their website asking for $ to fund their shitty autistic-abusing organisation. As A$ are flat-out eugenicists and the organisation’s leadership is in bed with Trump, I for one am very unfucking surprised that they’re chill with their money-making events being full of actual Nazis. So much for their new ‘progressive’ mission statement. Do not trust or support A$.
