The US the better territory first then, huh.

I typically don’t comment much on political threads.

Can I ask everyone reading this to actually take a moment and think about how other people around you are experiencing the same situation? It’s easy to find yourself digging yourself a path through life, but is that why being Canadian really is? Everyone has difficulties and annoyances in EVERY government. It’s fine to try and gain the advantages, but it’s horrible to use to advantages to make others struggle.

look around you,
Would those people help you? I’d like to say a majority yes

Being Canadian doesn't mean anything when you can bring in 10 million people and give them a piece of paper and instantly declare they're Canadian. That's not how societies or humans work. It is a particular delusion pushed by a particular ideology that has achieved dominance only recently in this country, with disastrous results. At no point in human history did any person believe that geographically relocating someone immediately altered their fundamental behaviours and deeply held views. This particular delusion is new, and has had grave consequences for this country, to the point that the country may no longer exist in any meaningful form in the next decade. To add to this, we are part of a large and dangerous world, with one of the world's superpowers on our border. This has consequences, especially when that superpower is in decline and is aggressively moving to fortify its regional hegemony.

These are all things members of the CAF and intelligence communities know, because it is obvious. However, for reasons that are not so obvious, none of this information is being used to make rational domestic and foreign policy decisions. Instead, the decisions made are purely driven by ideological frenzy. This has predictable consequences, like fragmenting social cohesion, quality of life, and breakdown of the social contract on the domestic front. Globally, it means being isolated and threatened by superpowers due to a non-existent capability to defend our sovereignty. This is how countries cease to exist: a blind devotion to ideology at the expense of reality. Reality cannot be negotiated with, and it always wins regardless of how fervently one asserts their delusional ideology.

UPDATE:

RCAF saved! Immigrants to the rescue! Also filling in civilian pilot spots to ensure we don't have a need to train any domestic pilots. Why do we waste money on ab-inito training when we can just bring in every pilot we need?

Bring 'em all in! THANK YOU CARNEY!

Couldn't possibly have bargaining groups making wage gains in Canada. Economic prosperity detected. Open the floodgates, boys!

How long until TC is lobbied to "relax" on the conversion process for ICAO ATPLs? I'm not talking about the FAA, EASA, CAA and CASA... we know pilots from those countries aren't dumb enough to come here.
