Global strike in Canada and other news
Applications for permanent residency are now being processed very slowly, and the Canadian Prime Minister is once again criticized.
Last week in Canada was remembered for the largest federal workers' strike in the country. The number of strikers has already reached 155,000 people, which has seriously disrupted the work of many agencies. The employees of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) joined the strike. Now applications for permanent residency and visas are processed much slower, and citizenship ceremonies are not held. Federal workers are demanding wage increases because of inflation.
Canadians are once again unhappy with their Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This time the reason is the Prime Minister's residence, which has long been unused and has not been restored since 1951. Trudeau doesn't want to live there or allocate funds to restore it, so the house that once housed the political elite has turned into a rotting structure infested with rodents. Because of this, the Prime Minister has been subjected to much criticism. In contrast, previous prime ministers were repeatedly hated for trying to renovate the residence.
Another reason for the criticism of Trudeau and the entire ruling party is Bill C-11, which provides for government control of the streaming platforms. YouTube, Netflix, Disney, and similar platforms want to mandate the promotion of Canadian content to support Canadian creators. But to many, it seems like an act of censorship, where the government wants to impose on users what content to watch and restrict what officials find objectionable.
Features of life in Canada
Canada is not only about stability, a high standard of living, and beautiful nature. Often, wild animals come right into people's homes.

We talked about furry brigands in Canada and how to deal with them.
