I've heard it half in jest, but only just half.
I think I DO support Canada as a member of the EU.
No, I haven't thought it through, and I'm sure there are a bazillion problems connected, but we might as well start having new thoughts fast.

今天听朋友提了一嘴才知道加拿大有好多政府资助的面向PR 和公民的职业培训项目,包括飞机组装、转码、销售、网络安全、电工、清洁能源等等等等,啊!
(一般是各种college和大学的项目,符合条件的政府掏学费,个人掏一个小几百的报名费这样)
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has certified a class-action against the federal government regarding the use of provincial jails for immigration detainees, a practice the lawsuit alleges violates their Charter rights.
After announcing that they would end the controversial practice of imprisoning people for immigration purposes, Ontario has agreed to extend its contract with the federal government, and Quebec says it’s open to doing the same.
“我要代表加拿大欢迎你”强迫症
看到有象友提起加拿大申请citizenship 时需要填 reference 想起我刚来加拿大那会儿(这个联想是因为许多加拿大人的一种“我要代表加拿大欢迎你”的强迫症)
2018年我登陆的时候,在加拿大不认识什么人,一位微博认识多年的网友帮我预租了一间房(房东是她的朋友),但入住时间在我登陆日期后两个月,于是她邀请我去她家客厅住两个月。
然后我就去住了两个月,卡尔加里机场是我们第一次见面。。。。。。
两个月后我回到多伦多开始找工作,遇到的大部分人听说我刚来加拿大,就会突然涌现一种热情想要帮你点什么,也就是我上面说的“我要代表加拿大欢迎你”强迫症,这里面大部分忙可能也不需要,但让当时没多少钱、没有工作、在此地也没有亲友的我有一点点莫名其妙的安心。很多人会跟我讲他们刚来加拿大时是什么样,现在怎么样,虽然每个人经历都很不同,但精神内核都很一致:这里很欢迎你,不论过去如何,以后都会好起来的。
连我打车去海关取海运行李,载我的印度女司机都很热情地说:你一定会找到一份好工作的!(后来我才明白大家把找到一份好工作作为一个美好的祝愿是因为这里就业市场确实比较缓慢 😂
三年后我要申请入籍,跟前同事说我缺一个reference (另一个是上面帮我租房的网友)她特别开心,问我要她提供什么资料;到入籍时我在我们组slack channel 里说了一句今天要请假宣誓,同组的加拿大girl 也立刻热情发表了“我代表加拿大欢迎你,很荣幸你选择了我们”的宣言;公司的 canada channel 里也时常有人发一条消息说我今天要去宣誓了,下面就一群人冲上来敲锣打鼓。
(来加六年里当然不是所有遇到的人都这么热情但我特别善于拉黑所以留下来的都是热情人)
所以我慢慢也感染了这种强迫症,看到有人说准备来加拿大,就觉得自己有一种义务要去欢迎一下,让对方知道:这里很欢迎你,不论过去如何,以后都会好起来的。
From Amnesty International
For many people seeking safety or a better life, Canada represents hope and a home. But when they are thrown into jail – not on criminal charges or convictions, but for administrative immigration reasons – their image of Canada as a welcoming place is shattered.
Through the power of our collective advocacy and the #WelcomeToCanada campaign, all ten provinces committed to end immigration detention in their jails.
