This chart is making the rounds on social media. New study permits approved by study level, Ontario, 2016-2022 Chart created by @ApplyBoard's #ApplyInsights.
Out of curiosity, I used data provided by @smeurrens to see which Ontario institutions got the most # of SP approved in 2022. It will be very interesting to see how the Ontario government eventually decides to split the limited quota in 2024 (I estimated that to be ~140k/360k).
@TTRRMK @smeurrens It was a great episode, thanks so much for the review and for the predictions for next year!
@smeurrens This was a fantastic listen. Self-compassion in an unpredictable (and burn-out prone) industry is crucial. Thanks for the reminder!

@MittRomney Why did you support the draft during the Vietnam war while you refused to serve?
@immlawyercanada @smeurrens It was very insightful and full of valuable info on PFL,although I have to say that the analogy of a judicial review for a rejected TRV and a hammer to kill a mosquito was priceless and right to the point.Thanks to the host and the guests for this wonderful episode of Borderlines
@smeurrens Thanks for your commitment to serious conversation about immigration & refugee issues, Steven & Deanna: it was a pleasure speaking with you.
@smeurrens Wonder if the photo poses included plumber's crack?
One of the key figures in the World Health Organization’s fight against #COVID19 is Canadian doctor Bruce Aylward. A pretty poor showing in this interview here, where he refuses to even acknowledge the existence of Taiwan... (China refuses to acknowledge it as a separate entity)
Wow. @WHO official Bruce Aylward can’t even acknowledge that Taiwan exists in fight against #Coronavirus. Poorly dodges question 3 times (hangs up once) when asked about wellbeing of 23 million people:
I’m unsure whether a number of these terms even qualify as “hyperbole,” rather than just qualifying modifiers which may be a bit wordy in some instances, but quite justified in others. Perhaps my favourite law grammarian @BryanAGarner might have an opinion?
The Chief Justice of the Federal Court has released a few examples of hyperbolic terms that he would like counsel to avoid.
