Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

I'll believe it when I see it.

Canadians do not have a 'right' to enter the US, just like Americans don't have a 'right' to enter Canada.
When you enter another Country you are in fact a 'guest' in their house and must follow their laws and customs. A person or a country can make a decision at any time to limit the guests or the numbers of guests coming into their house, its their right to do so.
The US could easily decide to do this. Look at what the Europeans within the EU have done to us and the Americans starting next year -

ETIAS

Official EU website on ETIAS, the new travel authorisation for visa-exempt travellers to enter 30 European countries. Applications should be filled in this website from mid-2025.

travel-europe.europa.eu

This could easily, easily be applied here by the Americans to us.

Also, look at the revenue gathered by this - 7 EURO or about 11$ CAD - not cost for those under 18 or over 70. Over 1.4 BILLION people travel yearly to the 30 EU countries will be apply to. Using easy math, lets say this affects 1 billion out of the 1.4 billion people - that brings in 7 billion EUR or 11 Billion CAD a year - that's alot of Socialism Trudeau and company can implement.

• Say about 25,000 Federal employees added to the Federal Government employment levels
• Maybe even a 'Guarantee Basic Income of say 40k to all those living in certain urban areas with systemically high unemployment levels or large numbers of seasonal workers (East Coast and parts of Quebec)
• Expand free Dental care for even more people
• Increase the GIS to even higher levels

Man, Trudeau and company are chomping at the bit to implement something like this on the Americans.

Im aware of an eTA, I work in immigration civvie side. They're also not visas and very different matters. eTA are shakedowns essentially, they're issued on arrival with no human checking them. Visas have to be approved one by one with an immigration officer who can refuse them at any time. I'm saying it's completely unfeasible economically for US Canada visas especially if you consider the impact on some very powerful corporations/industries.

It appears that RMC is having financial problems and can't fill vacant faculty positions. 'Difficult financial situation' could mean cuts at RMC in Kingston

If there are courses with only two students, why are they being run?

RMC needs a strong does of reality.

RMC needs a strong does of closure.
