​I am spamming the buy button on every $PNG dip.

​Why?

​Because I’m not an idiot and the Covelya deal is a glitch in the system.

​By absorbing Sonardyne and EIVA, they acquired eardrums for the entire underwater defense world. It’s a systemic choke-point that algos have missed. Total Monopoly Man move!

​Finance nerds have the fair value for PNG only at $8.43. Buying in the $7 range feels like walking into a blind watch dealers shop for a cheap $8.42 Casio on sale for $7 with a bonus "buy one get one free deal" and for the blind dealer to accidentally tosses you a Rolex as the free one. You’re paying under fair value for a maritime defense monster and getting a global monopoly as a freebie. Don't be stupid, get the casio and get the free Rolex.

​Drones made tanks obsolete overnight. They rendered decades of modern warfare tactics redundant. That exact same hardware revolution is happening at sea right now, and Kraken controls the keys to every single depth level. The deeper a Navy wants to go, the deeper their pockets need to be to pay Kraken for the privilege.

​Once the Q2 paperwork clears, which is basically imminent, the speculation ends. The institutional markup will be violent.

​I’m just here for shares from paper hands and to collect everyones rent.

I’m a native French speaker, born in Quebec City to a Quebecois dad and a Nova Scotian mom, so I’m completely bilingual. I live in BC now where French is pretty much non-existent, and I honestly just had one of the most infuriating experiences of my life.

​I met this guy through friends at a gathering who just got his work permit extension through the Francophone Mobility Program. When he found out I was French, he got all excited and tried to switch languages to impress me and the others. I kid you not, I stood there for ten minutes trying to decipher a single word he was saying. I couldn't understand anything. It sounded like he was speaking Mandarin or Portuguese, but apparently, that was his version of French. He couldn't understand a single word of incredibly basic sentences to him either... sentences that literally most English Canadians learn in grade school.

​The worst part? He was actually proud of it. He was smirking and bragging about how he spent four months memorizing basic phrases just to pass the test, and he laughed about how stupid the Canadian immigration system is. Literally called the program a loophole for his stay and said the system is riddled with them.

​He actually laid out his entire strategy like it was a game. He kept extending a study permit for years while not even going to school just so he could work at and still is employed by...you guessed it..Tim Hortons. Then he applied for a PGWP knowing full well he wasn’t eligible, just to buy two years of implied status processing time. When that was finally refused, he applied for reconsideration to milk another nine months. When they finally told him to leave, he just hopped onto a visitor status and then used this fake French permit as his final move. His wife has taken the same route. He even bragged that four of his friends have taken advantage of this loophole and claims his other friends will do the same when their permits expire so they can jump on the French bandwagon too. ​I ended up having to walk away because I was so livid.

​After this infuriating experience, I went home did some digging to find out how is this even possible? I found out in 2023, the former Immigration Minister Sean Fraser, officially dropped the requirements from a Level 7 down to a Level 5. Like really dude? A Level 5 is not even French; it’s not enough to work in the language or actually integrate or cominicate clearly. By lowering the bar, the government is treating our culture like a cheap administrative checkbox and practically inviting this kind of fraud.

​The egregious part is that there is no cap on this program. While the government is pretending to fix immigration by capping international students, they’ve left this backdoor wide open with zero limits on purpose and made it easier for all to use it.These permits are also granted for two years at a time and can be extended indefinitely as long as the person has a job offer. Apparently its extremely easy to find and employer thats is willing to do this as long as they can keep supressing wages and paying "supervisors" minimum wage and work them 16 hour days. Its a vicious circle. Furthermore, theoretically, every single tfw or international student can and probably will take advantage of this. As long as they have a pulse and can mumble through the insanely low requirements, no one ever has to leave. Take that unemployed Canadians /s

​This is happening while youth unemployment in Canada has spiked to over 14%—the highest it’s been in 15 years outside of the pandemic. Our own students can't find entry-level work, yet the government is letting people like this brag about gaming the system to take those exact jobs, while keeping wages suppressed for Canadians to keep corporate greed strong Because this program is a special stream, employers don't have to prove they tried to hire a Canadian first or pay a fair local wage. They’re just importing people into 100% English-speaking jobs using a language they can’t even speak as a backdoor.

THEY ARE BASICALLY ALLOWING OUR LANGUAGE TO BE USED AS A PIECE OF TRASH; A BULLSHIT TOOL FOR PEOPLE TO BYPASS OUR LAWS, WHILE THEY SHOW ZERO RESPECT FOR THE CULTURE THEY’RE SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENTING WITH NO INTENT OF EVERY LEAVING.

If the government doesn't start tying these permits to actual French-speaking jobs and raising the bar back to actual fluency, the whole system is a total fraud and is causing more harm to Canadian citizens and cost of living than good.

​Between the government playing smoke and mirrors with these loopholes and even the Humboldt bus driver evading deportation this week, it is clear this disconnected and out of touch government(s) and legal system without a doubt prioritizes non-citizens and grants TFWs unprecedented leniency while holding Canadian citizens to the absolute letter of the law, where the same infractions would be met with the full, unyielding weight of the legal system and severe consequences.

The system is broken and needs a complete rebuild. Time to prioritize our Citizens for once.
