Patrick Pichette served on Twitter’s board of directors during a time period when many political dissidents – myself included – were banned. At the same time, he sat on the board of directors at the Trudeau Foundation.
Elon Musk fired him.

Learning from kidnappers: The Canadian principle of Birthright Imprisonment.
The facts and the law are as follows, Canadians are Subjects, not citizens, of the Crown and therefore may be considered chattel property. Canada is a Monarchy ruled by a retarded inbred Monarch. It is not a Republic. It is not a Democracy. It is the private holding of the Crown and always will be until you take it from him.
May Canada continue to export its most valuable commodity without tariffs, it’s best and brightest people!
Not sure how they would charge an “exit fee”? They might try to charge a re entry fee, but that would incentivize never coming back. One of my brothers left in the mid 80’s, he’s never coming back.
How exactly are they going to enforce this captivity from a practical standpoint? Young people graduating from post secondary school have little money and virtually zero assets. They’ll just leave under the guise of travel and not return. With no assets to seize, the government can not enforce this type of policy. I can see the government attempting to expand this to rich retirees and high net worth working people.
From a political and ethical perspective, it is completely wrong. It signals that Canada is a failed country because a thriving, prosperous country doesn’t resort to economic hostage taking of its citizens. This is what happens to a country whose gdp per capita is poorer than Alabama and still sinking.
I guess that Canadian citizens would be able to qualify as asylum seekers/refugees if this is the path Canada is heading down.
Independence fixes this.
The obvious answer is yhey make you post a $500k bond before you get to travel. Should help with the carbon footprint and keep the proles stuck in their 15 minute ghettos where they belong.
bond based on what? now they FORCE family and acquaintances to ante up?
just get over the 49th at some point out in the prairies, GPS will pinpoint the rendezvous and voila.
crush, crush,crush, crush, comes a point even the zombies of CanaDUH *might* rise up and then . . . . . .
aka Liberalism=Not seeism
I’m a middle-aged software engineer making very good money remotely for a US corporation. I’ve been trying to get them to sponsor me for a working visa for two years now. I am the exact kind of person this policy is targeting.
You can check out any time you like … but you can never leave.
I thought that only happened in the Hostel-California where I’m trapped?
Yes … ‘Hostel’ is a multi-entendres.
“Batir une economie plus forte et competitive” by forcing people to stay in the gulag?
We’re about twenty minutes from Carney issuing a national edict that all Canadians be chipped like dogs. At their own expense.
Only from the mind of a roaddog… hahahaha … yep.
Best not to try chipping Pitbulls … if any of those still exist in Chinada.
How dare you refer to liberal females that way! (I’m jealous…)
Cardboard Carney and the rest of the liberal scum bags attached to his ass will resort to every dirty trick in the book to ensure Alberta never gains independence .
Will foreign students also have to pay $500,000 when they return home? Or are we taxpayers supposed to subsidise them outright?
They will enforce it via the CRA who tax it back plus interest using tax treaties to do it via any nation that has a tax treaty, including the USA. They will also confiscate your CPP and OAS. They will figure out how to do it.
Sounds like a good reason to leave, renounce citizenship and never return.
Way to go Carney. Elbozos.

furthermore one has to ask, why did this uber hypocrite even GET a platform and TIME to espouse such
a horrid concept? prepping us for the real thing?
AB. GET THE BLOODY BLAZED OOOOOUUUUTTTTTTTT and all you generation whatevers.
is Carney going to get a charlie kirk moment?
A pointless thread.
Zero chance of this happening even in the 3rd world dystopia Canada bas become.
goings on in the land of my ancestors:

There is nothing “liberal” remaining in the LPC/CCP. It is a more Italian version of fascism, just slightly different than the National Socialism of the NDP.
