Today in Montreal, it’s time for an important and long overdue re-examination of immigration policy. This debate should be held on the issues of fairness, access to public services, and protection of human rights — and not just the politics of fear and exclusion. Immigration must be a right to all, an integral part of Canada’s future, not a privilege for some. And with the federal budget in sight, this debate should not delay the implementation of the law.

Just a note in passing that many of the people who want open borders (not people on this board, but definitely in the city, in Toronto, elsewhere) are some of the people most militantly opposed to allowing the construction of housing for the hundreds of thousands who come every year as it is, let along the tens of millions who would like to move to Canada if it were possible.
Bring them all here! No one is illegal! Just as long as they won’t try to demand that we upzone our neighborhoods so that private or even government actors could build housing to accommodate them, or cut down any trees for new housing, or build out somewhere that constitutes “sprawl”!

I tried this by submitting the phrase “Montreal City Weblog”:
“Montreal City Weblog: I can’t say this enough. This blog is what we can all hang our hats on to. It’s the place to find all of the city’s information for the duration of every big event. It’s great for everything from finding parking for the biggest, most complex, and/or easiest event to finding all the latest information, info, and announcements and news. Read More »
Thank you, Kate, for always providing us information on parking for the city’s biggest, most complex and/or easiest events! 🙂

The comments on Montreal City Weblog are useless. The real problem is the same one with any city, even a big city: people do not pay attention to what is going on. They don’t read the papers, they don’t read the blog, they don’t bother to check in on the blogs of the various city councils. The real problem with a city is not the citizens, it’s the corruption and the incompetence.
This AI is very smart (or trained with a great corpus), it even knows about “the corruption and the incompetence.” Or that’s just a general problem with cities.
Don’t let the bots take over Kate, you’re doing a great job! I applaud you for getting up early to read and digest the Montreal media, and posting here before going to work.

This AI thing might explain the headlines, maybe the stories, at that other blog. I can see how an Eliza style program might generate such content.
