Of course the federal government has the ability to legislate the international behavior of canadian-own businesses.

Government of Canada Responsible business conduct abroad

they are very different political orientations and attitudes.

one of the important ways that mamdani separates himself is that instead of following what polls say, he leads public opinion to get people on side with him. which is something the NDP is incapable of, to whatever extent they even agree on goals, which is not much. NDP totally lacks any ambition which is the point here.

whatever you are trying to say about nazis it isn't really helping you

The article says links to Cash Driven: Tampa Bay Times investigation into GardaWorld’s armored trucks

Florida-based armored truck giant GardaWorld built a national empire.

The text in this post links to a site with an About page detailing various enterprises. Are they the same?

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.

just radiowaves until it is received. The processing is done on the TV.

OK I think maybe it's like how you can transmit digital information over a copper phone wire? But you need the modem then a computer to watch your realplayer video. ?
