  • Canada got its key industries stripped away by the US (Boeing to Bombardier) and China (Huawei to Nortel). Now? All the jobs are fleeing South of the border and people are fleeing with it.

    At least Huawei still employs a fuck ton of Canadian tech workers and is rapidly expanding. Huawei is footing the bill for a ton of big tech conferences in Canada. They’re sponsoring a bunch of projects for Canadian undergraduate engineering students. They’re hiring a sizable chunk of the graduates from Canadian universities in their focus areas and are happy to foot the bill for technical training. Frankly, Huawei is doing a better job of creating and keeping Canadian talent within Canada than most Canadian companies. They relinquished any IP control over research done in conjunction with Canadian universities.

    Meanwhile, Microsoft uses it’s Canadian offices as visa waiting rooms before shipping them off to the US.




  • To join the Nazis? Fuck off.

    At the end of the day, the vast majority of Ukrainians fought for the Red Army against a nation who’s policy literally involved the eradication of the Slavic races because they were seen as subhuman. Have you read Mein Kampf? Do you know how many Soviets died in the concentration camps? Do you know how many civilians Nazi Germany starved by doing exactly what you claim Stalin did to the occupied Soviet territories?

    Hell, half of the point of invading Ukraine was to capture the agricultural production, starve the Ukrainians, and use that to feed the German war machine.
