Why is that engineer driving a taxi?

There's nothing new about this information, but it's a small step to see that there's a reasonable campaign with television and outdoor ads advocating the cause. It's a bit funny that it's funded federally and provincially when inaction on the part of these same governments has allowed self-regulating professional organizations to exclude skilled immigrants. I hope there's some momentum behind this. If Harper were as serious as he says about meeting the needs of immigrants, he'd probably do some substantial policy in this area. Yes, it's mostly provincially mandated, but I'm sure if there were a will, there would be a proverbial way. On vera.
