🧐 How is this even debatable?
I know it’s nearly impossible to deprogram the elbows-up crowd, but how can ANYONE look at this and still think it’s a good idea?
“There is a risk of domestic worker displacement, as selected companies would have the ability to hire foreign workers with no labour market check or plan to improve the skills of Canadians”
How exactly do they think those displaced Canadian workers are supposed to feed their families?
This isn’t “immigration.” It’s a deliberate policy choice to undercut Canadian workers for the benefit of foreign investors.
And it’s disgusting.

So many to name that I think I'm going to use grok to catalogue my library then do a post about it sometime.
First off, the low hanging and tasty fruit: Golden Books. Especially everything made before 1990. Great books with beautiful artwork, cheap and available new and used everywhere. We read The Fire Engine book over 150 times.
The Happy Man and his Dump Truck
Scuffy the Tugboat
Daddies
Home for a Bunny
A Day at the Seashore
Richard Scarry's Gingerbread Man
Like like Dad
Doctor Dan the Bandage Man
Machines
All the Eloise Wilkin Golden Books.
Many of those were first printed before 1960. The artwork in newer ones (2000 onwards) are noticeably cheaper looking. Look them up and pick some
Then there's the classic Little Critter and Berenstain Bears - tons of great stories. Percy the Park Keeper. Frog and Toad.
For older kids... The Kitchen Knight, Saint George and the Dragon, The Biggest Bear. Then you have graphic novels of The Odyssey, Iliad, Beowulf, Watership Down. Then there's illustrated The Hobbit, and the series "Illustrated Classics" which you can buy a big lot from someone off Ebay.
I could go on. I need to catalogue stuff because I get asked often IRL as well.
@AgitpropMaster Not only one of the greatest film scores of all time but one of the greatest to not even get nominated for an Oscar. David Arnold's second-ever film composition!
@dojrtiz@BestMovieMom It impacts the storyline because the main character looks like a teenage boy instead of an adult male. I can't explain this any clearer.
