assuming your statistic which sounds like it’s based on your personal observations is accurate. all that says is that the US has the same parasitic strategy but is better at enacting it.

Years ago, I was involved in a construction project for a multi-unit residential building where wall and floor/ceiling panels were made in a factory and brought to the site to be assembled. Very similar to the article’s picture where you see a whole room being lowered into place on a boom, except it was done face-by-face.

It was a major fiasco because of an error made by the architect regarding building code. Normally such an error would have been correctable without too much drama, but because of all the panels being made up it was really difficult to fix, and a lot of money way lost. The job went way long, into winter, which further lost money.

So my single experience, which may not be at all representative, is that these projects are intolerant to failure, error, deviation etc. If you could guarantee everyone will go perfectly, exactly the same each time, and no changes to plan then I think it’s viable.

Never heard of such a project in any realm but they might invent it soon.

The canadian policy of poaching health care workers from other nations is truely malignant.

It’s no problem to me if people want to move here for any reason. But the general idea that the health care system relies on incoming workers that have been trained and nurtured by other communities is definitionally parasitic. It puts us in a situation where we require other nations to have the kinds of problems that highly incentivize that kind of mass migration. If the Philippines solved all its problems tomorrow, it would totally destabilize the canadian health care system. It’s shitty to put yourself into that kind of relationship.

Cuba sends doctors everywhere, to help those who need. Canada only sucks in doctors and nurses. A real shame.

Until Toronto tries to welcome new people, stop delivering visas to people coming to Toronto. Shut it down !! Canada’s housing politics have convinced some cities can’t handle population growth.

the PM approves visas between municipalities?

Every time I log off for a week I come back to some totally incomprehensible situation.

busdriver to priest pipeline

poor people don’t pay taxes

tax cuts are everybody’s farvorite policy.

Brainwashed by the wealthy

I think some of the inferences here are missing a piece.

Conservative governments may both be reflective and encouraging of far-right conspiracy theories and lifestyles.

But this isn’t about individual choice to get vaccinated. It isn’t even really about community sentiment. it is about public policy to enforce vaccination. Not just what’s written on paper, but what actually happens.

• black letter law: whether they allow non-medical exemptions, how easily these can be obtained, if they are permanent, if they are scrutinized etc
• enforcement: how vigilant are the schools and health units at suspending non vaccinated children?
• availability of health services for those who do wish to vaccinate: is it practical to access care? Including time off work, travel, opening hours, length and pleasantness of appointment
  • my opinion is we should bring back in school vaccines or at least offer after school clinics in the school itself
• resources allocated to public health units: much of the above would be the responsibility of local PHU. Do they have the budget from higher ups to afford all this? And do they internally allocate sufficiently to vaccine programs?
• community outreach: it isn’t just doing press conferences and scolding X posts. Internationally, many successful vaccination campaigns have been accomplished by identifying local leaders and getting them on board. This includes religious leaders. Is anybody doing this in Canada?

it isn’t just the current provincial government you have to look at. You need to look at the past 10-20 years of provincial and municipal governments. And those appointed to various health related intermediary organizations by the governments themselves.

“When she spent too much time with Stephen Harper, she brought out his bad side,” a Conservative source said. "She has the same effect on Pierre Poilievre. She is responsible for his negative tone.

Finally they found a woman to blame.

It’s not the fault of these men for having such unpalatable “bad sides” in the first place. Its her fault for “making them” show what fash freaks they are.
