@ForOurKids50@AskKubeir Without the "hidden" ones, Canada wouldn't be able to trade with Europe as effectively. The EU charges their trading partners a carbon tax emissions fee. With the industrial carbon taxes still in place, it would be easier for Canada to negotiate a deal free from those fees.
@ManiAsh@AskKubeir They'll also be charging domestics higher fees, thereby discouraging the youth from enrolling, so fewer people will receive higher education, thereby exacerbating the wealth gap while forcing industries to either move or outsource their labor, leading to more economic losses.
@AvehAyiwe@AskKubeir Why would they? There are plenty of Canadians and PRs with STEM degrees waiting for months to get a job. Whenever a new Tech job is posted, there are literally 100s of applications. Most Tech jobs are now offering minimal compensation due to the competition. Why add to the pool?
@CodyL_95 @AskKubeir Precisely! Now, domestic students will likely have to pay higher tuition fees, placing higher education even further out of reach for Canadians, thereby forcing the government to once again rely on TFWs or risk letting businesses outsource all their talent. Brilliant idea!
@AceWarIsGreat@TheophanesRex Lmao! Yes, let's just replace the talented engineers from overseas with less talented ones simply because they're Canadian. Genius idea!!
@Nick49428317033 @norbalm@AskKubeir Canadian education isn't exactly the crown jewel that a lot of Canadians seem to think it is. Nor was it ever. The primary reason people have always wanted to come here has been to settle, and if they're able, move to the US once they receive their citizenship.
