Except I’ve WORKED for the benefits I get. I paid taxes for over 60 years. What have they done? Can I have a $50,000 “set up” cheques, too??? And $10,000 for air fare?‽‽!?

Pay no taxes? That guys is probably the one not paying taxes. Everything you purchase is taxed. If you have a business, it is taxed.

If we actually want solutions, we should be talking about things like real-time tracking for overstays, linking federal/provincial systems, funding enforcement properly, and setting penalties that are predictable and enforced. Bring in experts not random paper pushers for “gotcha” moments. Sessions like this aren’t about fixing the system, they’re about stoking outrage. And more often than not, it ends up targeting vulnerable groups instead of creating policy that actually works.
