Since 2015 it’s liberals have been playing this Butts engineered game.
“Key Eligibility Requirements (Adults)
To apply for citizenship through naturalization, you must:
• Be a permanent resident with valid PR status (no ongoing issues).
• Meet the physical presence requirement: Be physically in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) during the 5 years immediately before you sign your application. 
• At least 730 days (2 years) of that time must be as a PR.
• Time spent in Canada before becoming a PR (e.g., as a student, worker, or temporary resident) counts as half a day per full day, up to a maximum of 365 days credit. 
• File Canadian income taxes for at least 3 years in the 5-year period (if required).
• Meet language requirements (Canadian Language Benchmark 4 or higher in English/French for most applicants aged 18-54).
• Pass a citizenship test (knowledge of Canada).
• Not have prohibitions (e.g., criminality, immigration violations).”
John, those are the official requirements but the liberals have opened the borders and give citizenship away like it’s nothing. How about having a job for 5 years? But no they want them all on welfare so we pay for it. It’s called redistribution of money from the middle class to the lower class.
Re: our immigration system. The word 'system' is doing a lot of work. What IS the system, any longer? Systems rely on rules and enforcement. Not seeing a lot of either, long time now.
Getting your oponent angry is a classic negotiating tactics that advantages you. And Canadians are sooooo thin skinned, opponents can play them like cheap fiddles.
When you so called leader is known as corrupt Carney, Carinige Carney, Clown Carney no one in the US is taking him seriously . The US thinks he is a dictator and personally destroying Canada to please the UK. Problem with the majority of Canadians never look past their house to see whats going on in the world, and they are watching a historical time in history. Books will be written about the shift in power and the alliance being made. between countries everyone thought were mortal enemies and whats really been happening between countries that thought they were alias , but were just being used and plundered to advance the other countries wealth while destroying their so called allies. Carney did not come here by accident. He helped the ZuK accomplish the destruction of the UK, and his job now is to destroy Canada, weaken it so it is never a power they have to worry about. . Few people understand what Trump is forming because he learned from his first time in the White House who his enemies are and is making sure he surrounds himself with believers not betrayers
Not only should the (C)anadian (B)rainwashing (C)orporation be closed down, but we should also abolish Telefilm Canada who gets about $144 million a year
Excellent podcast.. great guest.. learned a few things.. boomers are not to blame for the housing crises.. Trudeau is.. im so tired of being blamed for how life is now for this generation.
I like what your huest saud about consequences for crime. Make it hurt within the judges abilitues. Leave the immigration issues to the immigration dept. They get paid to do so.
I'm sorry i don't feel bad for this gen, we made sacrifices to have what we have like others. So..sorry not sorry. Dont go on vacations or fancy dinners.. jmo
Cbc was great.. i think they are getting worried.. your sort of critical with out sounding hurtful. Professional in other words. They should try it.
I am a boomer and it does make me sad to see the hurdles for our youth. As a Mother how could I not be sympathetic. This is the kind of attitude that is dividing us. It is by design and a cheap Liberal ploy. Sorry not sorry but you are not a good person.
Don't forget, AB, that Canada's participation in the agreement was, well, inadvertent.
Back then, the three countries negotiated for some considerable time but couldn't come to an agreement that satisfied all three countries. Then there was a break in negotiations which was ended when the US and Mexico announced that they had agreed to a free trade agreement. Canada was shocked as they simply didn't know that the US and Mexico were seriously negotiating without them. That is a serious signal that the Canadians simply didn't understand their counterparts and that they were far, far too intransigent.
Canada then panicked and asked to be included in the US - Mexico agreement and the three countries occurred they got back together for a few desultory negotiations. Canada pretty much was told that this was the agreement and not much would change; Canada wanted some particular things, such as dairy marketing boards, etc. and the US said that was fine but wanted to be allowed to sell a limited amount of dairy into the Canadian market. Canada said, sure, you can have "X" quota (actually a pretty nominal amount) and the US said that was good. Then, Canada assigned that quota to Canadian dairy producers like Saputo and said to them that they could use that quota to import US dairy. Except, Saputo et al simply refuse to use that quota so there is no US dairy of any consequence imported to Canada. Predictably, the US sees that as double talking and it is a real issue this time around. In other words, the US thinks Canada is and has been negotiating in bad faith.
So, why the annual reviews? Simple: the US and Mexico negotiated that and when Canada wanted in to the deal Canada was told the review stays or you can walk away from any deal.
Of course supply management of the dairy cartel is a sore spot for Trump. 10,000 dairy farmers are holding Canadians for ransom. I don’t like it, nor does Trump. They sit back with their feet up, time for them to compete. It would benefit Canadian consumers. Dairy is getting ridiculous in price.
As a further matter, AB, I have already noted that the US and Mexico jointly negotiated - without Canada - the original USMCA [I use the American nomenclature because Canada simply joined an existing agreement, making the Canadian usage of CUSMA totally foolish]. It has been discussed endlessly THIS TIME that Canada is in no hurry to get a new deal and, it seems, has not responded to US proposals and comments about trade irritants. In the meantime, the US and Mexico have publicly announced that they are separately negotiating a trade deal.
That means that it is likely that the US and Mexico may well come to a deal without Canada when - again, dammit - Canada just isn't there to negotiate and will have to beg to be included. Or, perhaps, that it is the intention of PMMC to simply walk away from the deal and try to blame "bad orange man." Foolish PMMC!
Immigration abuse by design. Liberal autocracy gains voters and quashes informed consent

Mike I’m angry and helpless it seems.
Re: our immigration system. The word 'system' is doing a lot of work. What IS the system, any longer? Systems rely on rules and enforcement. Not seeing a lot of either, long time now.
It’s basically a free for all.

Mass immigration across the western world isn’t an accident. It’s by design. This is obvious by now.

Sorry not sorry, neither are you..!!
I can’t believe we agreed to annual reviews as an option in the original CUSMA. What a terrible clause to have
