Re: Politics
Time for Starmer to come clean on what Net Zero means.

The attack on UK farming is only the beginning.

Re: Politics
Starmer has announced that Labour plan to cut immigration. Down from close to a million a year (the "Boriswave"). We'll see how it goes. Seems though that the Anglosphere is finally closing the main doors; Trudeu has announced Canada will be severely curtailed immigration also.
I mean, maybe we'll still be running at 200k a year. Which is still bad, but nowhere near as bad as 900k a year.
Reuters: Fact Check: Trudeau announced Canada immigration cuts, not freeze
The department said that Canada will reduce the number of new permanent residents, opens new tab it plans to accept from 500,000 to 395,000 in 2025 and 380,000 in 2026. A target of 365,000 has been set for 2027.
The plan’s targets aim to “pause population growth in the short term to achieve well-managed, sustainable growth in the long term,” according to the government’s news release, and the plan’s reduced targets include temporary residents – international students and foreign workers already in Canada – applying to become permanent residents.
The new immigration targets move away from pandemic-era policies, in which the Canadian government had previously relaxed rules for temporary residents to tackle labor shortages.
In January, Canada announced a two-year cap on international student permits and said it would also stop giving work permits to some students after graduation.Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced plans to cap temporary immigration in March. The cap would reduce temporary residents to 5% of the total population over the next three years from 6.2% in 2023.
We don't have a labour shortage. The issue was the government paid people to stay home, called "COVID payments". When restrictions started to lift, many people in low income jobs just didn't want to go back to work. They stayed home, lived on the "COVID payments". One restaurant where I go regularly, the manager told me they had difficulty getting servers to come back to work. Another restaurant, a buffet, didn't survive COVID. In December 2021, they didn't know when restrictions would lift, so completely closed the restaurant. The building was demolished. Trudeau just doesn't want to accept responsibility for his actions.
In 2023, Canada welcomed 471,808 immigrants and 804,901 non-permanent residents (NPRs), making a total of 1,276,709 newcomers:
If the government believes all those "non-permanent residents" intend to leave, they're delusional.
2021 Census of Population: 8,361,505 immigrants, with 23% of the population being immigrants
Now when I apply for a computer software development job within my own city, I'm asked "work status". When I tell them citizen and that I was born here, they're amazed. The majority of recruiters now have a Hindi accent (from India).

Re: Politics
President Biden has issued an unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, after all his blatant lying about accepting the results of his son's trial for federal firearms and tax evasion charges. Although I was against the charges leveled at his son, who was quite obviously guilty as charged, because he videotaped himself smoking crack while waving his revolver around in front of the camera, the real question remains unanswered:
How much did President Biden and Hunter Biden sell out America for, and who did they sell us out to?
That was the only question I ever cared about getting an answer to. I could not be any less interested in what Hunter Biden did with his pocket revolver while he was high on crack. So long as he didn't shoot anybody, nor threaten to shoot anybody, I have zero problems with him doing drugs or owning guns, because that is his right as an American citizen. Freedom doesn't mean that "the free" will always do things I agree with. We don't need any over-glorified nannies to tell us how to live.
Ukraine is obviously very problematic, because President Biden said he got their prosecutor fired, on camera. They weren't even investigating his son at the time of this incident, merely Burisma, ties to Russian oligarchs, and shady business practices. However, I'm more curious about the Biden's dealings with the communist Chinese and the Russians. I can forgive their dealings with Ukrainians. I cannot forgive them selling us out to communist China and Russia.
I was hoping that President Trump would be the one to pardon Hunter Biden, as he already said he would do, in exchange for him telling us who he did business with in China and Russia. We need to figure out who, specifically, is trying to infiltrate our government so we can stop them. Figuring out why Hillary Clinton approved the sale of 20% of our Uranium supply to Russia would be better still.
