@JJ_McCullough Ridiculous. A strong robust immigration system with targeted skilled workers is key to maintaining reasonable population growth in country with poor demographics. Entirely different from a wave of unchecked immigration without consideration of the knock on effects.
@JJ_McCullough He was minister from 08-13. I see participation in an ongoing trend of non-permanent immigration, but if paired with the stated goal of improving inflows of certain skilled worker sets, far from an indictment of his time in office, particularly viewed beside the post 2015 era.
@tjlit You mean independent thoughts that hold true to your principles without blindly following party lines? I can't believe this is something that needs to be said, but it does.
@BenRabidoux These are often some of the largest corporations by revenue in a smaller centre and the CAO is a recycled low level director from a neighbouring municipality. Stay in the game long enough, go to the conferences, make friends and you get $300k per year in a town of less than 10k.
@BenRabidoux Municipal governments are the most impactful level of government for most people's daily lives. Focus is on urban centres, but rural municipalities are run by administrators who do not have the education or experience to effectively operated municipal corporations.
