Canada will reduce the number of international student permits by 35 per cent next year as part of a temporary two-year cap on foreign enrollment, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Monday morning.
The federal government has announced new measures to limit and curb the abuse of the international student program.
I mean, I'm not surprised. The two of them had the perfect jobs for being spies.
Especially if the NDP forms the minority. A Liberal/NDP minority represents more than 50% of all voters.
I'm not sure why people are surprised? Intel pulled off 7nm without EUV. It's just classic "China stupid, only American company can do that" bullshit.
AMD's fabs became Global Foundries, who pulled out of the bleeding-edge node game once it became cost prohibitive to do so with 7nm.
Intel is still on 7nm. Samsung's 5nm is basically 7nm+. The fact that SMIC can do 7nm without EUV is insanely impressive.
Intel took years and years of delays to achieve the same thing.
Senior US officials have stated that they believe the Gaza Health Ministry to be underreporting casualties.
Investing is supposed to be a risky venture. This is the risk.
If the US continues to destabilize, we're fucked anyway. Any aid we can provide to Ukraine is going to be us allocating funds to buy American weapons that we then ship off to Ukraine.
How about nationalize our O&G, airline, and telecom?
Eat the rich who exploit property for profits
None of this solves the methane problem that has a disproportionate and untracked impact on Canada's emissions.
Consider that 1.2% leakage means that natural gas is equally bad as coal over a 20 year period. Consider then that even the most optimistic estimates for leakage are higher than that. Might as well just burn coal.
And a good chunk of Canadian emissions (about half) are due to O&G extraction and burning fossil fuels for transportation. It's a simple problem to solve.
Building more homes near transit hubs is the focus of new proposed legislation aimed at speeding up the delivery of homes and encouraging more communities near the transit, services and amenities that make life better for people.
The West's data is literally, demonstrably false to the point that it's legitimately harmful to our climate goals. In the short-term, natural gas is indisputably worse than coal, maybe even 2-3x worse. Even in the long-term, natural gas is worse than coal when looking at observed methane leakage rates. The US' emissions reductions are a fucking lie.
Meanwhile, China hasn't exactly been hiding that they're reliant on coal.
Yeah, you're right about that, my bad.
I was thinking more in terms of the core tech teams - there's a decent EA presence here as well.
Well, I've already established you can't take Western GHGe numbers at face value... What's your point? Trust nobody and nothing?
I mean, if someone else wants to start producing solar panels and wind turbines...
There's already been a confirmed F-35 damaged by a "bird strike" over Syria... The F-35 was certified against bird strikes to a higher standard than most other American jets. Given the amount of lies coming out of the IDF in the Gaza conflict, I wouldn't be surprised if the F-35 was targettable by Russian S-200/S-300 systems and the IDF is covering it up to avoid absolutely destroying the international reputation of the F-35.
The problem is, Canadian F-35 operations in the Arctic (really, the only area we have to defend against Russia) would almost certainly require drop tanks. In that scenario, the F-35 is fucked. This is even as F-35 maintenance requires the use of American military contractors that can be weeks or even months away, particularly if we do decide to operate F-35s out of Arctic bases.
Nationalize it. This degenerate "business comes first" bullshit is costing us key talent.
Report on military’s $160mn combat aircraft comes days after one crashed in South Carolina
> The fleet’s mission-capable rate — or the percentage of time a plane can perform one of its assigned missions — was 55 per cent as of March 2023, far below the Pentagon’s goal of 85 per cent to 90 per cent, the Government Accountability Office said on Thursday.
> Part of the challenges stem from a heavy reliance on contractors for maintenance that limits the Pentagon’s ability to control depot maintenance decisions. Delays also arise from spare parts shortages, inadequate maintenance training, insufficient support equipment, and a lack of technical data needed to make repairs.
Because of the Pentagon's inane IP laws, maintenance on these planes is a bureaucratic nightmare: defense contractors are able to limit maintenance of these things to only those they contract because of IP restrictions and are not required to teach the military jack shit. Meanwhile, they're essentially a paperweight half the time because they're not getting proper maintenance.
How are we supposed to patrol the Arctic with a plane that needs an American private subcontractor to perform essential maintenance on it?

As our government becomes more and more polarized, what can we do to ensure that facts and data hold out?
I'm not suggesting that lying should be illegal (in fact, it's often unintentional), but when an MPs statement can later be proven to be false, shouldn't they be forced to publicly apologize?
The truth shouldn't be political.
By focusing solely on China or Russia and other state actors, Canada is missing the potentially far more troubling forces that proved so disruptive during last year’s convoy protest, Susan Delacourt writes.
What's everyone's favourite study spot on campus? I'll start with the Asian Library: it's so peaceful and quiet and I swear nobody knows that it exists. Plus, you get to walk around in the garden.
Wondering how people got started in research, specifically in CS/ECE?
