JP Tasker to Audior-General Karen Hogue: "Perhaps the most troubling aspect of it for me is that the department may be turning or may have turned a blind eye to fraud." "You identified 800 cases of outright fraud, and the department you found did not consider acting in any of those instances." "What does that say about how Ottawa is handling this file?" And at CBC, it’s always just “Ottawa” or “the department.” Never a decade of Liberal Immigration Ministers responsible: Ahmed Hussen, Marco Mendicino, Sean Fraser, and Marc Miller. Could CBC not reach any of them for comment?

71% of Waterloo's best engineers leave Canada (UWaterloo SE Class of 2022 graduate survey). And nobody riots. In any other country, a 71% talent export rate would be a national emergency. In Canada, it's Tuesday. The problem isn't the people who leave. They're rational. The US pays 2-3x more, taxes less, and builds things that matter. The problem is the people who stay and never ask why the system is designed to make leaving the rational choice. Canada doesn't have a brain drain problem. It has a demand problem. Nobody demands better. Not from the universities. Not from the employers. Not from the government. The best leave. The rest adjust. The cycle continues. Every country gets the talent retention rate it deserves.
