In China there are 104 males for every 100 females. The mainstream media has written a million articles about this gender gap, it’s a huge problem!

How did this even happen? According to this random statistics site, immigration for men and women have been mostly equal throughout the years:

But there is a significant difference (11%) in male and female international study permit holders, most of which will attain permanent resident status after their diplomas are completed. Who would have thought the mostly-unregulated backdoor immigration method would cause issues in the future

Soon we'll have hundreds of thousands of currycels unable to find a jeetess mate.

It's important to note that the gender gap data only includes ages 20-29, so the overall gender gap is probably still lower than China's. However, the gap will trend towards that percentage in the next few decades.

Foreign landlord fails to pay taxes, CRA goes after tenant https://t.co/kML0XtNdRl

A Montreal tenant was audited and ordered to pay the tax he had failed to withhold on the monthly rent to his non-resident landlord, as required by law. As a result, he was ordered to pay six years' worth of tax as well as the compounded interest and penalties. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) could not collect against his overseas landlord, so the Canadian tenant was on the hook.

Last year, the tenant took the Minister of National Revenue to court, arguing that he did not know his landlord was a non-resident. The tenant, whose Italy-based landlord owned a single unit in a Montreal building, lost the Tax Court appeal on the grounds that they were a Canadian resident paying rent to a non-resident landlord, and were therefore required to withhold and remit 25 per cent of the rent to the CRA

“It is concerning,” said Mr. Luu. “But it's very hard to go after the non-resident, so they put the burden on the tenant.

Why do we keep going there?

Alberta Health Services is investigating after an undocumented woman says she was denied an emergency C-section at an Edmonton hospital last month.

Perla Estrada, 35, said a doctor told her to go to the hospital on March 25 after an ultrasound revealed she had low amniotic fluid and needed a C-section.

She said at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, she was told she had to pay $5,000 upfront for the procedure and that no doctor there would see her unless she did so.

>Advocates and health experts say nobody should be denied emergency medical care because of their immigration status.

!leafs i cry every day that not enough of my tax dollars are spent on foreign nationals

Jeet adjacent couple buy heritage house and immediately try to modify it

The couple, who identifies as mixed-race, told the board they only discovered their home was a designated heritage property last year, when they began looking into modifying the house's steep stairway from the sidewalk.

Because of that heritage designation, they learned, they'd need to get permission from the city before making any major changes to the property.

BUT fear not, they're brown so rules need not apply because someone, somewhere, was probably racist once.

[the couple are] asking the city to remove the heritage designation from their century home because they say the original owner was racist.

The two-and-a-half storey, 9,000-square foot house in the Yonge and St. Clair area, was built in 1906 for Stapleton Pitt Caldecott, a former Toronto Board of Trade president who was opposed to immigration, a University of Toronto historian says.

!leafs they're probably gonna get the status removed. Aint no judge gonna die on this hill

Pinay said there are 154 homes in the community and only 22 — all part of a new subdivision — have water lines connecting them directly to the water treatment plant. The 132 homes without direct lines get their water from cisterns or private wells.

more than 1/10th of all Canadians use cisterns or private wells. I literally use both.

!leafs it's clearly not the teachers fault kids ain't learning, it's gotta be that darned social media

Four Ontario school boards have launched $4.5-billion in lawsuits against social media giants Snapchat, TikTok and Meta — which owns Facebook and Instagram — accusing them of deliberately hurting students, interfering with their learning and harming their mental health, leaving educators to “manage the fallout.”
