Yep. Universities are in on it too. You can't work in academia without constantly publishing. These publishers don't pay you for your work. But publishing improves your "reputation" and "scholarly activity" which the university requires in order to boost its own "reputation". It's a big scam.

I've worked many jobs that don't let you leave to get coffee or food. Maybe these cops should have to pack their lunches and carry them in their vehicles for the day. Y'know, since it's critical that they are always close to their vehicles. It's so critical that they need to break the law to get food. They may as well bring their own food to stop their illegal behaviour and ensure they get to those "shots fired" calls quicker!

We keep voting for parties who are against improving our democracy. Most Canadians don't care.

There's a Competition Bureau? What have they been doing all this time? Can they take a look at Robellus when they get a chance?

Canadians don't even want proportional representation. Improving our democracy isn't important. So, I can't imagine they would support 16 year olds voting.

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

Conservatives are way ahead in the polls. Apparently, less environmental protection is acceptable to most of us.

I'm betting they instead continue to make record profits all through May.

I know this sounds heartless, but it's not our responsibility to ensure international students are employed.

I hear that Hamas listens to liberal college students from Western countries. It's really their core demographic.

I'm glad we continue to allow international students to work. When we couple them with temporary foreign workers, maybe one day we can ensure no Canadians are employed.

If your company can't afford to pay Canadians and instead needs to exploit overseas workers, then your company shouldn't exist.
