I saw on TV a long time ago that a funeral home's "energy" (burning bodies) was used to heat homes somewhere in Europe.

We can just use data centers for heating too...maybe turn around all these protests against them

ugh...I guess I have to bring out the crayons to explain this

The reduction came from international students and temporary workers' permits expiring. We keep increasing permanent residents.

Mark Carney should know that it would be an _extremely_ unpopular move right now to allow India more access to immigrate here.

The current Carney govt? Maybe. Too soon to tell, but things are heading in the right direction.

The previous Trudeau govt? Absolutely not. He was the prime minister of everyone except Canadians.

Canada is embarking on a trade agreement with India and collectively our greatest fear is the immigration issue. Canada's immigration is already quite lop-sided.

As an IT worker, I honestly don't see many/any Cubans and Latinos in my day to day.

However I do see a ton, and I mean a ton of Indians and their hiring practices. Hence why I started my sentence with "I have personally witnessed it"

What if they're bringing the average salary down for everyone else because they can, thanks to h1b?

Because they bring their racism here. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/12/922936053/california-workplac...

I have personally witnessed it myself. I have countless Indian friend who are candid with me. They are biased against whole communities. Blacks, Muslims, etc.

Indians hire Indians.

Doesn't BlackBerry have a patent for this?

Ryan Seacrest had started a iPhone physical keyboard company, Typo I think, and got sued so bad he abandoned the whole thing. How will these people get around it?
