"Canada slashed study permits to 437,000 for 2025, a 10% cut from last year, causing approvals for Indian students to plummet from 77,000 to just 9,955 in the first eight months. Families face tougher financial proof requirements and uncertain job prospects, pushing them toward Australia, the UK, and other destinations. Universities like Waterloo and Conestoga College report enrollment drops and layoffs, while opinions split between those celebrating lower pressures on rents and services and others warning of lost economic contributions from students." What do you think about this? It's such a deep and complicated topic I think.

This post on the LMIASCAMS subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LMIASCAMS/comments/1pmbfof/mass_immigration_protest_is_planned_for_january/ received a fair amount of hate in the comments from people who think we are white supremacist Nazi fascists. I expected the upvotes to be skewed toward the lower end, however, they were above about 85% positive. It always surprises me to see the wide range of opinions on posts like this because we do have a Canada-wide problem, but there are some that refuse to believe it/see it, and those that can read the writing on the wall. I'd like to think that those leaving comments to that effect are the loud minority (which I believe to be the case) and is usually the case in other respects. i think most of us have a rational, tempered, and reasonable view on the TFW program, immigration and the state of things as a whole. It's a shame that when you try to say "hey, businesses, consultancies, the government, and certain foreigners alike, might be gaming our system a little bit - look at these strange occurrences," you become branded with the "word of the month" so to speak. I don't find myself leaning heavily one way or the other, but the people that come out and leave comments on posts like this: 1. all sound the same in their rhetoric, and 2. don't seem to think that we have a bit of an immigration problem on our hands. I don't have a whole lot more to add here, but if you check out the comments, let me know what you think about the discussion as a whole.

Nokia launched construction on a 750,000-square-foot innovation campus in Ottawa's Kanata North Tech Park, focusing on AI networks, quantum-safe tech, 6G, and data centers. It will house over 1,900 R&D professionals, backed by $72 million in public funds and Nokia's $340 million investment, tied to 340 new high-value jobs and student co-ops. Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke criticized the subsidies as costly taxpayer support that favors foreign firms over Canadian ones, while ministers praised it for bolstering national tech leadership in secure networks and AI. https://x.com/tobi/status/1993716353660817476?s=20

This seems to be a growing trend. Where immigrants are given orders of magnitude more leniency in court. In September 2024, Inderjit Singh Gosal, a prominent Sikh nationalist and leader of the Canadian chapter of Sikhs for Justice—who stepped into the role after the 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia—was arrested during a traffic stop in Whitby, Ontario, alongside Jagdeep Singh from New York and Arman Singh. The trio faced serious firearms charges, including illegal possession of a prohibited handgun and careless use of a firearm, but Canadian prosecutors swiftly dropped all charges against Jagdeep and Arman, allowing Jagdeep to either return to the United States or stay in Canada while Arman was released. Gosal's case remains active, with him out on bail as proceedings continue. The arrests unfolded against a backdrop of escalating threats to Gosal's safety, including repeated RCMP warnings from August 20 to September 10 about potential hitmen, a February 2024 drive-by shooting at a Brampton construction site believed to target him, and his refusal of a witness protection program to focus on advocating for a Khalistan referendum—an independence movement for a Sikh homeland in Punjab that Sikhs for Justice promotes through global referendums, which India condemns as a sovereignty threat and terrorist activity. Canada has accused India of masterminding Nijjar's killing, leading to charges against four men tied to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, though India denies any role. Despite the legal hurdles, Jagdeep Singh intends to join an upcoming referendum event in Ottawa, and Gosal plans to attend as well.

Canadian PM Mark Carney announced a $1.02 billion pledge to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, with the money rolling out from 2027-2029. The announcement dropped in Johannesburg right before the G20 summit in South Africa. While Canada’s framing it as continued leadership on global health, the move’s getting hammered at home—people are furious about long healthcare wait times, inflation, housing costs, and billions leaving the country while Germany and the UK cut their own contributions and the U.S. stays quiet. Commenters are calling it tone-deaf and straight-up negligent, with many demanding an election and pointing out the billion could’ve been spent fixing Canada’s own broken system. https://www.junonews.com/p/carney-pledges-1b-for-healthcare

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program's Express Entry Skilled Trades Stream, aimed at fast-tracking permanent residency for tradespeople with local work experience, was suspended on November 14 following a Labour Ministry review that found widespread misrepresentation in job offers and experience verification. This builds on a 2024 Auditor-General report highlighting oversight gaps, with the province now refunding fees and directing applicants to other streams amid no reopening timeline. Protests by over 100 workers, including carpenters and telecom technicians, have erupted, while reactions split between support for cracking down on fraud and calls for case-by-case assessments amid ongoing trades shortages. https://x.com/i/trending/1991211535809581335?s=20
