Canada has a productivity emergency because there's so little competition, businesses have gotten lazy not because of immigration I thought this would be good. It ends better than it starts: quote:Ottawa has also read the riot act to employers who have abused the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to hire cheap foreign labour rather than unemployed Canadians. The changes: quote:Effective May 1, employers will need to explore every option before applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA). This includes recruiting asylum seekers with valid work permits here in Canada. Yeah ok let's see these super stringent rules actually enforced. Next: quote:Temporary residents have not played a significant role in reducing per capita GDP a yardstick for improved living standards though some credible experts think they have. Buddy... if you're going to give lazy racist arguments any airtime, you can do a better job refuting them than that quote:In their recent report on immigration and productivity, Scotiabank researchers ... call for immigration policy to focus more on prospective newcomers with high economic potential. And they warn that this must be matched with equally significant increases in business investment." "Absent that, they say, the country will remain on the current trajectory of declining productivity and competitiveness. There could have been a point made about the ethics of attracting highly skilled professionals from developing countries (and then not recognizing their credentials, which is mentioned later on). Anyway, the last good bit: quote:More so than most of our G7 peers, Canada is an economy dominated by oligopolies and branch plants of foreign enterprises. The result is insufficiently robust competition to drive productivity gains, in which Canada trails most of the G7. It's ok to call Canadian business leaders rent-seeking failures but also, is anyone suggesting a solution here? Because I have a few ideas. Oh yeah and the Star's non-mobile front page has a gambling permalink in the header now, so that's cool:

Got a Tim Hortons breakfast sandwich today, had some kind of weird vinegar sauce in it that tasted like puke. Maybe they should try not making disgusting food to be competitive with McDonald's, etc. Doesn't seem that difficult.

Also, wrt F-35 chat, Canada cant train fixed wing pilots because pilot training was privatized for $XB, which eventually led to it becoming completely dysfunctional, but now theyre paying a premium to train pilots in the US and UK (which was the main cause of a fatal helicopter crash a few years ago) while paying that same company to privatize non-pilot aircrew positions. Its just lol what can you even say?

I don't know if Kuwait Airlines is tied to Star Alliance and so Air Canada board members or something, but the government made the inexplicable decision to source new Airbus aircraft, CC-330s, from them. I can't think of hearing of a major military procurement being placed with an airline like that before.

Just had some of their throwback donuts, me an apple fritter, my partner the dutchie she had been craving since this anniversary thing was announced. She used to live a short walk to the original Tim's in Hamilton so seeing it in the commercials sparked something in her lizard brain. She seemed happy enough with hers, mine was good but not as toasted crisp as the mom and pop place I grew up near.
