    | The nation to the north announced last month it would start issuing
    | work permits to foreign citizens living and working in the U.S.
    | under the H-1B visa, which is intended for jobs requiring
    | specialized skills and is used heavily by the Silicon Valley tech
    | industry to secure top foreign talent as well as lower-wage
    | contractors employed through staffing firms.
    |
    | The Government of Canada opened the program to applicants on Sunday,
    | and closed it Monday after receiving 10,000 applications.
    |
    | Canada's consul general in San Francisco, Rana Sarkar, told this
    | news organization last month that he believed the majority of work
    | permits would go to H-1B holders from Silicon Valley. "This is where
    | the talent is," Sarkar said. "This is where we're coming to attract
    | talent."

    How large is Trudeau's scab worker re-export industry?

    ""Trump was unable to get stuff done because the deep state/the
    left" He got Paul Ryan's tax cuts done, he passed a sweeping federal
    jailbreak bill, and he pardoned Charles Kushner and Democrat
    megadonor Salomon Melgen--I'd say he got a lot done, just not what
    you'd like." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1632214068349087747>
