What a mess. If you’re not a work visa holder, permanent resident or Canadian citizen you should not be able to apply for any job whatsoever. If you’re on a student visa, you’re a student, that’s it, and are supposed to bring sufficient money for your accommodation before you come.

I always tell my two young adult kids that they are my life’s project, and in that line I’ll be weaponizing every contact and favour I’ve made in my nearly thirty year career, plus whatever “privileges” of race, language, class and gender that I can exercise to give my kids an edge over this horde. My kids will not be left behind as Trudeau floods the labour and housing market with desperate, wage-depressing foreign workers and international students.

What was so wrong in Canada in 1990-2000 when my Gen-X brethren were starting good careers and buying affordable homes that Con and Lib governments felt the need to take the next quarter century undoing the affordability and opportunities enjoyed by postwar Canadians? What was broken that so needed fixing by scouring the subcontinent of its most desperate and naive?
