We don't have the capacity to support enough residencies and our accreditation process is too convoluted to import foreign labour. These are both solvable problems, but only with the political will to do so.

Canadians need to be less afraid of having their jobs stolen by foreigners. As our population grows, we will need more of everything.

How can the NHS be so incredibly underfunded? Hell, even Canada is bleeding doctors because of long hours and low pay, and our salaries look downright exceptional compared to this.

Have you never learned about primary sources? No competent scientific reference format asks for pages except for books (of which these aren't) and papers within conference proceedings (of which these also aren't).

Still waiting for my 2015 source...

We need to build crappy public housing. Crappy, so homeowners don't get mad at us "decreasing their property values."

Just copy-paste commie blocks out in Mission and run frequent train service into the city. Out of sight, out of mind, but effective at sustaining massive housing supply (on the order of tens of thousands of people) with minimal cost due to prefabrication. Concrete is cheap, so use it.

Gender pronouns exist mostly because our society ties so many societal norms to gender. If people weren't sexist animals, it wouldn't really be a problem.

You mean AITags?

Lemmy needs a refpost system where you can choose to post articles to different instances that link together.

You then can get all the benefits of centralization without necessarily being centralized.

Lemmy.ca is the superior instance and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

If your CEO has money, you're probably undervalued and underpaid. It's how the incentive structure works.

The entire principle of reasonability lies on accepting that other interpretations of facts exist. Removing those who question the prevailing interpretation is harmful for democracy, harmful for journalism, and harmful for freedom of speech.

So... It's Lemmy's problem for not exposing control over emoji size? Sounds like a feature that should be pretty easy to add.

Is creating echo chambers really desirable in our current political climate? Democracy is built on a foundation of free and open discourse, not in censoring opinions that we don't agree with. All that does is polarize and radicalize people even more.

"Ten Chinese air force aircraft entered Taiwan's air defence zone on Wednesday"

The article says ADIZ, not airspace.

So... You have no counterargument, no source for your 2015 claim, and nothing of value to contribute? Carry on.

You're one of the biggest failures of democracy: democracy assumes people discuss in good faith. Meanwhile, you use decades-old data to provide misinformation while pretending to be informed and follow it up with uncited claims... Because, reasons?

Here, I'll help you Google:

You can lose half your working population if your workers can be more than twice as productive... which they can, given advancements in automation. That's why South Korea, Singapore, Japan, and Germany punch above their weight despite also running headfirst into demographic collapse.

Isn't China undergoing deflation?

Must be forgetting about Finland, whoopsie.

Isn't this what our judiciary should be for?

Suicide or accident?

Heard of Google?
