This way of saying things is perfect ammunition for all the lefty do-gooders
out there. It also assumes that all immigrants are bums.


What I would say about new immigration policies: Canada should be a fairly
open country (not like we'are short on space!), and shouldn't be too 
restrictive of people's movements. However, to qualify for citizenship
and benefits like welfare, etc. new immigrants should 'pay their dues'
before they can stick their hands out. I think that entitlements and
other benefits of Canadian citizenship should NOT apply, until at LEAST
five years of work and residency. 

This would be better in two ways:

1. the 'freeloaders' as you put it, wouldn't get any benefits
2. This open door kind of policy would let in a lot of hard working 
   people who would bring alot to Canada. It isn't too much to ask of
   New soon-to-be Canadians to stay off welfare, prison etc. Call it
   a qualifying 5 years. The reward for this five years, is CITIZENSHIP,
    which is certainly a privelege, and one that many would treasure;
   we shouldn't be handing the benefits immediately.

Actually, we are short of space. The fact that most Canadians live in a 
narrow ribbon along the border is no accident. The rest of the country is 
without jobs or infrastructure and will not support people except at a 
subsistence level.

In any case, you should read "Beyond the Limits" by Dennis Meadows et al 
which notes that environmental impact is a function of the number of 
people times their affluence times the adverse effects of their 
technology. Under that definition, one Canadian does far more 
environmental damage than a residents of most of the world and the number 
of Canadians we have now does an incredible amount of damage. So what you 
are arguing for is more pollution.

  Socialism ... theft. No, no Chris you are failing in political correctness :-)

  The socialist goal is to *share* their poverty with everyone, not (gasp) to
steal from the rich to give to the poor. That interpretation of policy went
out of favour centuries ago :-) :-) :-)

If 'good' is an adjective that can be used to describe the Canadian Forum.

Additional information provided by S.P.:-

Anyone thinking of relocating in Quebec should be aware that if they
plan to have children in English school in Quebec they must apply for
the children's "eligibility for instruction in English" certificates
BEFORE obtaining permanent resident or landed immigrant status.

Once it can no longer be proven that one is only a "temporary resident"
in Quebec, one's children will be forced to attend French school here.

It does not matter if your family has lived, worked and played and been
educated in English for generations. Once your "temporary" status is no
longer verifiable you will have less rights as an anglophone family
in this province.

Dear Netters,

GRC Ltd. conducts research and provides consulting services in digital
signal processing. The company is looking for an engineer who recently
received or will soon receive his or her Ph.D. degree to carry out a

jointly financed by the company and the Federal Government. This position
is renewable.

The candidate is expected to have done a significant amount of research
on digital signal processing.

Although we plan to have the candidate to work in one of the above-mentioned
two projects, he or she may propose a project which he or she
thinks has a great market (not academic) value. We are open-minded. 

Send you resume, plus supporting materials, such as publications, index
of your Ph.D. thesis to
