Whats distressing is when you uncovered that if officials reject an applicant they are basically shooting their career in the foot ... and they have to file a big report and could be challenged in court and of course that means a court brief and testifying as the prosecuting witness. This isn't the way it was supposed to be...we're talking national security, economics, social safety nets & culture. It really pisses me off the way the game is rigged.
Detailed critique of immigration bureaucracy and legal processes that create perverse incentives, with concerns about national security and fairness.

The most useless 3 stooges - Fraser , Miller and now Diab. Be honest get rid of people whom don't belong here, reduce the numbers , clear the backlog and let's bring back manageable numbers of honest applicants whom deserve to be here and will contribute.

By and large Ukrainians, Europeans, Americans, and Canadians want an end to the war against Russia. Canadians want the opiate catastrophe cleaned up, that 1% is only what the authorities are aware of… plus the liberals & new democrats are pumping a large “safe supply” into our communities! We want our boarders tightened up, and our economy properly, honestly, and transparently managed. Sit down Trudeau… you don’t represent the majority of Canadians. The rest are catching up.

As a Canadian who lives in (largely French-speaking) Quebec, I don't know if our gov't even NEEDS to tariff American consumer goods, the people here are already boycotting US goods and companies en masse. EVERYBODY is doing it - and the pace isn't going to recede anytime soon. Even after the Orange Turd is long gone, trust me, Canadians will remember this! The American state has proven it cannot be trusted. They have unilaterally broken the trade agreement (negotiated by the previous Donald J Chump administration) on the flimsiest of reasons, the 00.2 % of fentanyl that flows over the border into the US from Canada. That deal now obviously not worth the paper it was signed on.
First-person account of Quebec-based grassroots boycott response, critiquing US trade agreement violations and unilateral action.
