Students generally don't have real-world problems that need solving. I think pretending they do makes a lot of assumptions about their life, hobbies, free time...

It's much much much more important to have a co-op program. Everything practical I learned in university was through my co-op work terms.

I am responsible for hiring some devs right now, and there's been a wide spectrum of competence from people who have "real projects". Especially with how prevalent AI is, people can literally just talk to an AI agent and get some kind of app/website spun up with 0 skill and effort. What I am always looking for is people who can work on a team in an existing codebase.

Political pressure? They're appointed for life, literally what consequences are there to pushing back? Honestly the senate is such a waste of money. They're trying to play both sides of this issue to the benefit of no one.

To me, this statement sounds like not condoning America's actions but still walking the line as to not sabotage trade talks. This has been Carney's MO with Trump from the start, appease just enough without bending the knee to get a deal done.
