Of course Mugesera wants to stay in Canada. Why has he been able to stay here so long? Do not miss the video which gives some suggestions as to how that may have occurred.

Would this mean that CSL could have work done in Canada, not in China?

Shipbuilding subsidies target

The federal government is joining OECD-sponsored trade talks regarding shipbuilding, with the goal of curbing state-sponsored subsidies. Such a result would help enhance the competitiveness of the Canadian shipbuilding sector [. . . . ]

What reputation do you think Canada's "refugee" system has? Her border and ports? Her overall security? Remember, RCMP are being pulled back from the border in several places. Re-deployed, I believe, is the term Deputy PM McLellan uses for this.

"The Frankfurt School is not a place but a school of thought, a group of similar theories that focus on the same topic. The thought of the Frankfurt school is a dialogue, that resulted after Karl Marx added his proverbial "two cents" to the ongoing conversation of philosophy."

and Important Philosophical Notes -- worth reading

The following notes are meant to clue you in on what has been discussed before you entered the "conversation." The Frankfurt school based it theories on the work of Karl Marx, who in turn relied heavily on Hegel’s dialectic. Hegel was responding to Immanuel Kant;who was trying to straighten out those darn Metaphysicians; who thought they were Neo-Platonist, but that’s going back too far, so we’ll just start with Hegel.

This is clear, not abstruse, as is usually the case with philosophical / explanatory discussion.
