For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really?

Indeed, if it were up to me, I would do away with the idea of temporary immigration altogether. If we welcome someone's labour, we ought to welcome the person attached to it. bsky.app/profile/mehl...
This is Canada's temporary foreign worker system in a nutshell. But making temporary residents pay more for health care really drives the sentiment home.
It says much about a society that is willing to profit from a group's labour, but unwilling provide them same dignity and support accorded to others.
