Immigrants to Canada live in subsidized housing
- Thread starter Durry
- Start date
I thought that subsidized housing for immigrants was a proactive attempt to stop the first generation immigrant problem and prevent the formation of ghettos?
For some reason, immigrants are a common scapegoat worldwide. Despite the fact that the economic superiority of the second generation over the "natives" more than compensates the economic weakness of the first generation.
That's populism for you.

There is no doubt that the Europeans were materially far more civilized than the North Americans. It's just that spirtually they weren't much more civilized if at all with their racism, imperialism, etc. That combination proved lethal for the natives.
Unfortunately, many of those old attitudes continue to exist today.
Imigration started pooring in after jacques cartier discovered the land for the French.
Hmmm. Ever wonder what the Europeans did with all those Barbequed witches and heretics? Why do you think everybody and his uncle showed up to watch?Sure... if you want to leave out the cannibalism part.
Cannibalism was not wide spread and was usually done for ceremonial reasons (Haida). The Aztecs were the only ones who did blood sacrifice on a large scale. There were large scale civilizations in the Americas long before Europe.

Oh really! That would be neat to read about. You don't by chance have a link do you?
What is your definition of a large scale civilization?
Regardless of the reasons... cannibalism and human sacrifice are what they are. Not saying the Europeans were any better, but they weren't any worse.
First Nations, Native Americans, and the ancient people of Central and South America were human... just like everyone else.
True to a point. Native American tribes preyed upon each other long before the Europeans landed. In my research about the Plymouth Settlement I was surprised to learn that the Wappanoug tribe that assisted the Puritans did so because he saw a potential of a strong ally against the Narragansett tribe.
I never said they were any better. I was countering the statement that they never developed civilizations. I think the Mound people of the US, the Olmecs, Toltecs and Mayans were fairly large and the name of the peoples that preceded the Incas. I think with 100 million people there were a few others too. And what the Spanish did to those civilizations was pretty damn barbaric, don't you think?
Absolutely barbaric. But they came in and slaughtered people who were slaughtering other people.
It is really very simple.
Without immigrants, Canada would be shrinking rapidly. Canadians have not replaced themselves for years. Native Canadians are either dying, or migrating to other countries, faster than children are being born. This has been going on for at least the past 30 years.
Without immigrants, Canada's population would likely be about 20,000,000 now, and shrinking every year. Now who the hell would be paying for all of the social welfare benefits in Canada, without immigrants?

Oh, don't confuse Durry and Dumpy with the facts of life. They can't handle anything that gets in the way of their bias.
you said: ."....distinguish between regular immigrants and genuine refugees." There's other 'so-called' refugees too. The people who showed up on boats, on the western shores of Vancouver, they are not genuine refugees..nor are they regular/legal immigrants..
Yeah, and Chev, and people like him, want to be the ones that determine who is, and who is not, a "genuine refugee". Of course, they can do this without any access to the records, they just consult their prejudices and say, "This one is, and that one isn't".
Too bad my people didn't do exactly that when the White man showed up in Northern North America. They would have allowed the French, and sent all the British back.

In many ways, the old traditional system was pretty good for the guys. Great hunting and fishing 24/7, got to attack your enemies when they pissed you off-you were related to most of them, got to steal women too. And we could have several wives. Better than the nonsense some say about how aboriginals had a "matriarchial" system. Women in all traditional societies did all the drudge work, in Africa, Asia, America and Europe, it was all the same. Women were property owned by men in pre-modern times.
Problem is, things like famine occur in traditional societies, like happened in Ireland in the 1840s. Like is happening today in Africa. Modern societies throw scraps of food at them, shrug, and tell them to get with the program.
Without all those precious immigrants, Canada would shrivel up and die! How horrid!
Nonsense? It's only been proven time and time again. The only nonsense on these pages, regarding First Nations, comes from you and Jimmy.
Well your coming off as one very arrogant person in this thread.
Canada is a DNA grave yard.
Nothing great about a country people are making a conscious decision not too have children.
The whole natural family dynamics that teachs children how to fend and survive on there own are completely obliterated...
Our own system will be what destroys us eventually. Its only a matter of time.
Sorry, I'm not impressed with what you call our civilization. If this is the best we can do, I think we lack imagination & intelligence.

Would you please show replicas/facsimiles of your application and replies thereof?
We shall see how correct their science was in December.
Chief, you also have the casinos, and with the white man's sick addiction to gambling you can take everything back.
Can someone name just ONE (1) nation/people/tribe who was treated more fairly than the North American Native people by their conquerors than the North American natives?
What science would that be?
What do you know of Wampum?
We're working on that.
The Quebecois.
