Today in our Vancouver Sun-,.....
an opinion piece article highlighted the
separation from grandparents in the newly migrated population;
and how little the feds plan to do about it, to in fact :
make ...it worse off than ever.
And in line with, this just in? Feds in hot water over more funding cuts to help new immigrants adjust, numbers out of whack with rationale?
√≠‰ ?

So long Stephen. We want all our boys and girls to not just be good at math, we want them to astound the world, in a world that will eventually need help. No wonder Harperites don't like Statistics Canada.
...would make John Molson (School of Business)...proud
In my opinion, the more we turn away from relying on the wise sage population, and respect for our wiser more learned populace, and the more we advance and move away from reliable experience and relying on wisdom. the more we move towards the crap shooting style of a maverick Reform-rooted politician like Stephen Harper...it is as Paul Martin recently said, against the curated advice of a legion of established experts in their fields on the upcoming budget....all of our grandchildren will be paying for the decisions we make today.

Here in B.C. it has already been well noted that we lag the rest of the country for wage increases, and its been noted we are the province most vulnerable to the recession.
But, what's the advice given to boost productivity while we patiently await the gains from proposed income tax cuts to corporations? Those "job creators?
Here it is in the link right below in black and white, the answer to the equation is right there, it is called: "lower unit labour costs ".

(Safety in numbers, eltists can pretend to like Tim Hortons bad cofee all they like. They would never drink the home brew.)
So if the government is so proud of its numbers on immigration last year as recently published stats show, (highest level in 50 years) and yet are clamping down on
family visas and permanent resident cards for parents and grandparents,
AND
fudging the numbers while being crticized for its budget cuts to immigrant help programs
AND all the while
reducing corporate taxes to "create jobs"......who is going to stand to benefit the most when the key factor to this huge boost and boon to our economy depends on: "lower unit labor costs"?
Probably not you or I.
The CBC is reporting that the Yukon government are already now able to fast-track the entry of foreign temporary workers.

note: Google aggregates the press releases for many of these Canadian government press releases so that 'we Canadians' have an inverse relationship to them.
In other words, even if a wide dispersal net is cast, they may not show up in Canadian press release sites at all (PR's being actual "news" releases), whereas a site like PR USA will have to top drawered in the aggregate.
And guess what else is making e-news?
Google Facebook seems a little bit at odds with Facebook Google.
