And their crime was running from a war at home where their homes had been burned to the ground by a military junta.

A lot of money for poor refugee families who lost their homes to the war in Myanmar running from there and having no livelihood (likely was subsistence farming in the rugged hills of Chin state) no status in India to earn wages in India.

Yes when the grocery price increases are higher than inflation's rate of increase. When profits of grocery chains are rising higher than rate of inflation in general, they are using inflation as an excuse to keep jacking up prices.

For some with limited choices, this would be a challenge. Living in a large metropolitan area, I am fortunate to have alternatives.

I am. There are alternatives and I can easily avoid them. Others may not be in the same position.

WHAT?

Honestly if the selfish arses don't want to pay their fair share of taxes, they can leave and sell their houses!

When does the world have courage say enough is enough?

This is ridiculous. Where is common decency?

What a piece of shit. And this guy was running US foreign policy? Wow. Saudis must be regretting paying this man $40m a year to manage their billions.

Natpost suddenly forgets that CBC is competing against right-wing controlled private enterprises for the talent they have. If they don't give bonuses, they will lose the media talent.

This stupid little stunt will potentially weaken the federation.

Well isn't that convenient.

Falling birth rates are bad news for economies and billionaires, but good news for the planet.

Thai PM has warned Burmese over illegal entry as per this post here. Historically, Thailand is where Burmese exiles have always escaped to during political strife. During British occupation of Burma, hundreds of thousands of Burmese refugees lived in Thailand and formed a guerilla army that successfully participated in the liberation of Burma. Soon after independence different political and ethnic factions within the Burmese army that was created from merging the Burmese guerilla army with the British-trained colonial army mutinied into a civil war, refugees have streamed into Thailand on an annual basis. UN and international humanitarian agencies have long operated on the Thai-Burmese border for decades providing economic boost in those marginal regions to Thailand. Finally Thailand has <1% unemployment and has long welcomed and recruited Burmese expat workers currently estimated to be around 4 million, half of them believed to be illegal. This additional influx is a somewhat of a welcome boost.

Oh no... that's not the last. He'll then cut taxes for the corporations and the rich. Cut healthcare and government services because he'll say "we have to balance budget". Then increase subsidies to corporations to "create jobs". Conservative scam continues.

Ironic that a man named PP have an issue with porn.

Why do Cons have to hide their mandate taking it all the way to the top court? What is it that they're keeping from public eyes?

Yes China only cares about their economic interests.
