Why is Canada gripping its own ankle?

I too am scared of raw apples.

€ 32,168 isn’t THAT much, especially if you have to pay rent in Munich.

What else would I call it? Certainly not “Topfen”.

Nobody in their right mind uses words like “Palatschinken”, “Paradeiser”, “Piefke” or “Schlagobers”.

The issue with elections is that you won’t become single, you’ll just get a new (or old) spouse.

I spent a few moments trying see Lost in the donuts before realising which meme was referenced.

How else would you name a law delegating responsibilities for the supervision of the labelling of beef, other than Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz?

I agree that refugees who only need protection for a short period of time should return home afterwards and only really need shelter here. But other refugees won’t be able to return to their homeland for much longer.

At some point in time the government has to switch from just sheltering a refugee to helping them integrate into society.

In my opinion, the government should make this switch rather early, in the interest of facilitating integration over keeping immigration numbers low. I would rather have more immigrants with a higher percentage of them being well integrated than having fewer immigrants but more of them being badly integrated.

If the they end up staying for a long time, that sort of gap in the resume is fairly easy to explain with them not being allowed to work during that time.

I have a feeling that that’s usually not the way most employers treat applicants. Migrants already have a harder time getting jobs. The government shouldn’t make it even more difficult.

Yes, I’d be fine with some of them staying for a long time if the situation calls for it and government taking care of them.

Most refugees not working will just fuel anti refugee sentiments in the population.

I can see the argument for not allowing refugees to work for maybe the first one or two years. But if they have to stay longer than that, they will probably have to stay long term and the government should prioritise integrating them into society and into the workforce.

Furthermore, if we want to keep immigration as low as possible, it would make a lot of sense to prioritise training refugees for jobs where there’s a shortage (like many blue-collar jobs here in Germany) rather than relying on hiring professionals from abroad in addition to housing refugees. While there’s the additional training cost and time, these refugees will at least have been trained in German rather than their native language.
