Yes that is what I said.
Student visa is not an immigration visa but the intent of students coming here and paying so much money is most likely to immigrate.
So when they change the rules, that fucks them, so they protest. Which is still their right in a democracy.
I am not talking about scammers though. That needs to be handled.
I think in general how many admissions a university issues to international students should be scrutinized as I believe many smaller ones with not enough staff or infrastructure are just doing it for the money.
PS: I don't believe Canadian universities provide scholarships to international students. Neither do smart students get fast tracked as they fall within the same rules of the student visas.
The bigger issues the abuse of the TFW program.
Though universities are really suffering this year with the lack of cash from international students.

They wouldn't be suffering now if they hadn't relied so heavily on international students to begin with. But they're not run like a business. Gender studies profs and diversicrat administrators dont serve a market need. I'll bet they're the first ones to get cut.

They wouldn't have relied on international students if they weren't forced to freeze tuition and refused funding increases.

Like I said, not run like a business. When a business faces shortfalls, it cuts headcount. I suspect that will happen now.

The colleges and universities have cut 10,000 jobs and are cutting courses while increasing class sizes.
As a business that means you pay the same for a worse product.

Education isn't a business, you can't have a democracy if you don't have people educated enough to vote intelligently.

the arabs of Palestine are also in Israel...
Not all of them. Why not let them all in? No need for occupied territories. One big happy country, like Canada?

False. Israelis are indigenous to the land.

The term "Israel" appears thousands of times throughout the Bible, whereas "Palestine" appears only once. The Bible mentions "Palestine" in Joel 3:4, referring to the land in relation to the ancient Philistines. In contrast, "Israel" refers to the nation and people of Israel, first appearing as a name given to the patriarch Jacob and later used for the united kingdom and the northern kingdom.


"Israel" in the Bible
  • Old Testament:
    The word "Israel" is mentioned frequently in the Old Testament, appearing thousands of times.

  • New Testament:
    "Israel" is also mentioned in the New Testament, though fewer times than in the Old Testament.

  • Meaning:
    "Israel" refers to the people descended from Jacob (who was also named Israel), the Promised Land, and the nation of Israel.
"Palestine" in the Bible
  • Single Mention: The word "Palestine" appears only once in the Bible.

  • Location: This mention is found in Joel 3:4.

  • Context: The reference is related to the Philistines, an ancient people who shared the region with the Israelites.

    Key Differences
  • Usage:
    The term "Israel" is used extensively to describe the people and land associated with the Israelites.

  • Ancient Terminology:
    The word "Palestine" as a geographical term did not exist during the biblical period. The biblical text refers to the land of the Philistines (Philistine territory)

  • Following the Jewish rebellion’s defeat during the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 135 CE, the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed Judea to Syria Palaestina. This act was a deliberate attempt to sever the Jewish connection to the land.
    During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the term “Palestine” was employed expansively, covering territories from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

The guy that organized it Joe Anidjar had posted that when Canada becomes the 51st state Trump can start mass deportations here in Canada as well.
That is fascist and not peaceful.
Not to mention it is treason.
That guy should not even be touching the Canadian Flag.
Its like the crowd in Calgary singing the american anthem for Kirk.
Stop celebrating white supremacists and american values.
