The fact of the matter is that even if we removed all dehumanizing immigration restrictions, the vast majority of people would stay where they are because barring overwhelming danger most people don't like uprooting themselves to move to a strange place where they don't know anybody
Despite all the noise about “mass exodus”, 51% of African emigrants move within Africa. Only 3% of the African population lives outside their home country, compared to 8.5% of Europeans living outside theirs.

Mark Carney’s xenophobic nationalism, which builds on Trudeau’s immigration about face, is dramatically reshaping Canada. And it isn’t good. Combine this with his aggressive militarization of civil society and attacks on human, labour, & Indigenous rights, and what he’s doing becomes pretty legible.

Carney plans to spend $1.7 billion on recruiting researchers from the US or who would otherwise go to the US.
Yay, right?
The *entire annual budget* of NSERC is $1.3 billion. And he's cutting that.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.
The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.
