"They should be in prison for not protecting ICE!" the Boo-hoo baby whined

Not Protecting ⭐ICE⭐? The people who break doors and zip-tie children?

As the yrs go by, more people graduate & flood the job market. So the people who think going to post-graduate studies is a good idea to the high unemployment are in for a very rude awakening + saddled w/ HUGE student load debt. Post-grad universities = business, they don't care to tell people this

Canada's Canada Revenue Agency has been cut so deeply, calls are dropped, people waiting a whole day or longer on hold to speak to someone or the calls dropped on them. The current gov't cut the Public Service so deep, Canadians lost many services

Pilots undergo frequent medical checks. It should be competence & experience, not an arbitrary number. Look at the US presidents, they're in the 80s, senators in Canada (now mandatory 75 years old retirement age & USA politicians (in their 80s+ some functional e.g. Bernie Sanders & some not)
