Canadaland did a podcast on corruption, it was good. This country is broken on several levels.

Money laundering in the prairies would explain why the cabin market has exploded and now there's just tons of these 1 million dollar lakefront properties. I've heard rumours that rural Chinese restaurants used to exist almost exclusively to launder money. Every tiny loving nowhere town in MB had a Chinese place, even before they got chains like McDonald's, apparently the families that ran them were paid to do it as a money laundering thing in return they'd get a PR eventually.

This is really interesting, do you have any sources reputable or otherwise? The Chinese restaurant in the Teulon hotel is one of the best I've ever been to, same with the Hong Kong Cafe in Dauphin before it changed hands.

It's all hearsay, I can't remember where I read it but it was somewhere where they were talking about immigration scams. Supposedly an older way to game the system before the current real estate thing really opened up. It really makes you wonder though, when you drive through a totally dead town like Gypsumville and the only thriving business is the Chinese place, I mean it's more plausible that the nearby reserves keep it in business but it's fun to imagine something more nefarious.

Wouldn't surprise me. In the us, they were basically a big immigration scheme.

The absolute worst Chinese food I have ever had was in a prairie town that was literally just a Chinese restaurant and a gas station at an intersection. I'm 95% sure their sweet and sour sauce was straight up Strawberry Quik syrup.

My suggestion would be to do a stint in the Communist Party to pad your CV, then just before this country goes fascist defect to China. If you're lucky, after WW3 you'll get a nice cushy job in the Chinese puppet Canadian Democratic Republic

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

I have heard good things about joining the wobblies as they have resources for people who are in unions already but want to make them more effective/radical, although I don't know what their presence in Canada is like.

This is great idea, thank you. They don't look like they're active here in Canda, but I can still join and use their resources.

There are wobblies active in Canada, i know a few, definitely not a ton though. They do have really good resources available for learning to organize, would recommend.

also canada sucks so it's like stupid people discussing a dumb thing.

The US: did the president commit 3000 crimes while loving porn stars and stating a war with Iran?
Canada: did the prime minister kill his national phamacare plan for a $1,500 donation from a pharmacare mid-level manager?
