900,000 students coming in…

Poland has a system to keep the population on welfare….$500/month/kid.

It’s more profitable to have a handful of kids than to bother going to work.

Was gonna go up to $800/month/kid but PiS didn’t win a majority.

If you build your own population there is less need for immigration. We cut back on having kids after WWII and used immigration to fill the job vacancies. Also, a lot of the previous home grown candidates had bullet holes in them. Life is a double edged sword.

There was far less help for the immigrants back then and the quota system gave points that were basically racist.

Ideally immigration should only bring in talent not locally available. That means the locals have to do the drudge work and they don't like it. We have thousands on social assistance but bring in thousands to pick crops.

There is some merit to the system that says you don't get a vote unless you have some assets or work credits.

There always seems to be a special interest group protesting something in front of media but I never see the working class protesting. Where are they? At work or something?

Fifty plus years ago I was dating a girl whose mother was a legal secretary and she often spoke of office events. In one case the firm turned down a legal aid request because the person in question was on welfare and the family had been on welfare for five generations.

I know a bunch of American anti socialism rednecks and they are very generous people to people that have shown responsibility. Beggars and users, not so much.

The subject is far deeper when psychology comes into play. "Thank you for your service to your country. Oh, you have PTSD from your tour of the middle east? Tough luck loser."

It's not actually a bonus, it was a 2-time advance against legitimate therapy expenses of up to $44000 for young kids, $11000 for older kids. DOFO did this to help kids lingering on the Liberal era wait lists.

When PC's took over, they inherited a number of dysfunctional programs, this was one of the biggies -- it wasn't serving taxpayers or autistic children. In 2020 DOFO doubled Ontario's funding for Autism to $670M, one of the highest funding rates in the world.

Yes, but they are able to get other funding because their children have a disability. My in-laws put alot into not working for money.

My wife's grandma took care of her finances when we first met. She was working full time/ about to go back to university + getting monthly cheques because her dad was disabled (multiple motorcycle accidents 20yrs earlier) + grant for being a ward of the state (no parents) + grant for her being disabled + free laptop due to disability that we returned once we had submitted the receipt.

At the time I had never seen anything like it.

I worked in banking for years. Every day I reviewed the activity in the accounts of dozens of customers. The activity in a bank account is like a personal diary

After reviewing a few thousand accounts, you get pretty good at painting a picture of the account holder's life. The number of people on gov't assistance, rightfully and wrongfully is truly numbing. The number that commits fraud and the types are stuff I could write a book about.

Sadly, Canadian bankers will not proactively report fraud, and due to security requirements, they forbid their staff from whistle-blowing. Unusual transactions can be reported, but they would only go somewhere if there was strong suspicion that bribes, or large-scale money laundering.

So you're saying I can start a cash based business and not really worry all that much about it?

The people who are supposed to be keeping an eye on you are too busy watching out for their own ***** and covering their tracks to care about what you're up to, so yes.

I didn't say exactly that.

Any banker who interacts with a customer or the customer's account can report an unusual transaction or series of transactions to the bank. The bank reviews the report and activity then decides whether to forward it to authorities. It would need to be a very clear indication of fraud, proceeds of crime, money laundering, or connected person transactions (gov't officials making/taking bribes) before the bank reported it to gov't or authorities.

Banks can tell if you're running a business through personal accounts -- all they'll do is call you and tell you to open a business account. If it's a side hustle and the cash deposits are less than $10Keach and $30K total a month, you're flying well under the radar.

Banks don't care about the small stuff and they strictly prohibit employees from 'whistleblowing' to authorities if they see fraud. Doing so would breach the customer's trust and get a banker fired on the spot. Some things I saw often:
  • Bookies using Interac to take bets and deliver payouts
  • Sex workers, drug dealers, and loan sharks, using Interac for collections and payouts
  • Cheater cash income for WSIB and ODSP recipients
  • Fraud on gov't benefits (mostly Child Tax, GST benefits sometimes EI) by people living 5,000 miles from Canada
  • People collecting CPP, OAS and work pensions of deceased family members.

Banks don't report this stuff. As I've said before, I could write a book on petty fraud.
 
Im just gonna leave this here...

Still just words. They are panicking. Removed carbon tax for liberal strongholds and tell the rest of the country to vote liberal next time turned a minor win into a huge loss. I have faith they will screw this up too (federally funded housing for immigrants and not for citizens?).
 
Sorry Savan,

"Savan Sabu lives in India and was planning to study supply chain management at Northern College's Timmins campus with hopes of landing a job in a multinational company. Now, Sabu is out of money and repaying a $30,000 loan with an 11 per cent interest rate."

Have we degraded to the equivalent of Nigerian scam artists, offering questionable education packages to desperate third world countries?

Our ambassador to India will need a bullet proof vest.

 
Apparently the more we bring in, the more want to leave (percentage leaving 30% above historical average). They are most likely to leave four to seven years after arriving. How long does it take to get papers? That seems to be an important point not raised.

I've heard the same thing. I was talking with a younger person that I was doing some banking with and we got chatting. In her case she clearly stated she rather be back home, but the family sold everything to come to Canada and now they feel somewhat "stuck" here. She also stated that there are many organizations that paint a non-realistic picture of life in "other" countries, they prey upon dis-satisfied people. It was an interesting conversation and I can respect her point of view.
