- Immigrants and Canada aren't getting the best from each other
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  The federal government has set immigration levels for 2007 at between 240,000 to 265,000 new permanent residents, up about 15,000 over last year's target. This is largely a result of expected labour shortages in the context of an aging population. Recent evidence, however, indicates skilled immigrants to Canada face significant barriers to finding employment commensurate with their experience and education.

  As cities and towns across the country watched the immigrant rights marches last week, some saw a spike in violent attacks targeting immigrants.

Deported in Coma, Saved Back in U.S.

I see no way this will ever be fixed as long as the world is driven by the desire to amass money.. I do not say this in any altruistic sense, just logic. This may be the best system we’ve got at the moment, but it is by no means a good one.
While I am by far (for the moment) much better off than these folks, I am by no means immune to perhaps having to choose between living and dying for myself and or a family member because of monetary constraints at some point.

B.C. apologizes for Komagata Maru incident

I’m all for political correctness under most circumstances, but this one kind of reeks of political pandering to me. And misplaced pandering, at that. Why apologise now for that incident, when a whole bunch of injustices perpetrated to two larger Asian immigrant populations in BC – the Chinese and Japanese – remain unanswered? Were earlier apologies for specific incidents supposed to be blanket apologies?

NPR: Bill Gates Targets Visa Rules for Tech Workers

NPR let Gates dodge most of the questions refusing to follow up or request him to answer the question they asked. Gates kept returning to his talking points.

Microsoft | Revamp visa system, Gates urges Congress | Seattle Times Newspaper

Gates seemed to laugh before he answered the question about whether more H1B visa workers depress wages in the U.S. The laugh seems like a tell to me i.e. he’s lying.
