Doing so well, I wish. Racist ignorance, not really we have already determined that racism no longer exist. I have no problem with multiculturalism.
I know its hard for you to understand because of your low intelligence. So let me explain slowly, My concern is about low birthing rates of Canadians. And yes immigrants are part of those low birthing rates. I think i have to clearly state that to you. Your obvious very low intelligence. Its very tiring talking to stupid people like yourself but ill make the effort to include you in our conversation even though its likely a waste of time.
What is tiring is attempting to have an intelligent discussion with someone who is so blinded by racism he can't think straight. Obviously racism has not been eliminated; almost all of your posts prove it. And immigrants tend to have slightly higher birth rates than non-immigrants so they are clearly the answer if your racist attitudes did not get in the way of accepting it.
I've got a suggestion for you. Rather than attempting to convert other Canadians to your bigoted way of thinking why don't you emigrate to the Southern US. I'm sure you'd be well received down there. Oops, I forgot there are non-Whites in the US South. I guess you are screwed no matter where you live. Mind you - there is still Russia. Do you speak any Russian?
You mean they hire FNs as a special program thing ? Wow, that's pretty racist,
hiring someone because of their heritage.
you claim to be from Edmonton, and this is the second time in 2 posts that you slag the military.
Please, tell me, do you wander around the bars in Edmonton saying those kinds of words,
or is this some kind of special internet hero hating ?
I guess you missed all the stories about the mistreatment of female soldiers in Canada's military. And I guess you have no idea of the pay scale. You can make as much working for Walmart without having the possibility of being sexually harassed or shot at. Most immigrants know this, which is why the children of immigrants tend not to go into the military.
And stop reading your own shallow attitudes into my post. If you've read my posts in the history section it should be obvious that I have an extensive knowledge of the Canada's military history. Your comment displays not only ignorance, but outright stupidity.
Actually, I think I know where he's going with that. There's a difference between multiculturalism occurring naturally and forced multiculti. Forced multiculti brings with it the idea that you have to accept other cultural or religious practices even if they are diametrically opposed to the nation's own cultural mores. It also gives new comers the impression they don't have to try to fit in or assimilate and that's where the problems start.
My mother, rest her soul, was not the least bit racist or prejudiced, but even she saw through the multiculti bullshit years ago. At one point it was referred to as "The Great Canadian Mosaic", which she called a fancy way of saying "ghettoization". And she was bang on with that definition. Look at what we have today, not just in Canada but all over, ethnic and religious enclaves. In Ontario we have public housing that you just won't qualify for unless you belong to a particular ethnic or religious group.
When did bigotry regarding housing become acceptable to our govt? How is that multicultural? For that matter, when did denigrating Canadians just for being born in Canada become acceptable behaviour from a PM? A PM I might add who was born in Canada and sure thinks he's something f*cking special.
One last thing. When you look at multiculturalism throughout history, you'll also note that predominantly, the cultural practices that were beneficial or at least not harmful to the absorbing society were generally accepted while the undesirable practices were ruthlessly weeded out. Not today. We're expected to accept the bad with the good.
Of course the major difference is back then there weren't exactly a whole lot of city and nation states being ruled by knuckle dragging, White-guilt goobers who think we somehow owe everybody everything.
Nah, it's because it's seasonal labour season. Immigration does boost the economy I'll give you that. But it doesn't really boost it when you have mass immigration just for the sake of having mass immigration in a welfare state. Almost half of the working age immigrants that come here are completely unqualified to work here. They have no discernible work skills, they're often illiterate in their own language which makes it extremely difficult for them to learn either of our official languages and basically will never work a day in Canada.
Canada has always had immigration from most of the countries we get immigrants from today, we were just choosier about who we let in. Then the govt started playing games with their lives, so desperate to get them to come here. Back then if you were told your qualifications were good for working in Canada, you didn't have to re-qualify once you got here. Today, that's not what's happening. Many people are being told their qualifications/certifications make them eligible to work in Canada only to come here and find out they have to re-certify in order to work in their field. As a result they end up driving cabs or delivering food or get stuck in some minimum rage grunt work for years trying to save up the money.
The simple fact is, the govt lies to immigrants and refugees all the time the these days, even before they get here. How many Syrians were lied to just so Justine could prance around making himself look good for the UN?
I find most of your observations in your post to be in error. First of all, there is little doubt that immigration boosts the economy. Numerous studies have proven this.
For Canada, immigration is a key to prosperity

I am afraid your comment about masses of unskilled immigrants entering the country appears to be in error. However, you may be partly right if you look at the low level employees in Canada's retail sector and employees of places like Tim Hortons. I wonder where they would get their help without immigration. Apparently few native Canadians want to work there.
Secondly, there are three methods of dealing with an immigrant population. One is assimilation which is to completely absorb immigrants into the mainstream culture. France has long been very keen on this idea. A second is segregation, which is to allow immigration, but deny them citizenship, making use only of their labour skills. Germany practiced this until recently. A third is integration which is a blending of the immigrant culture with that of the mainsteam culture.
Canada has chosen integration, which allows immigrants to become Canadians at their own speed and does not inflict undue pressure on them to abandon their traditions, provided they are legal in Canada. This means that many first generation immigrants cling to aspects of their culture, including language and dress. However, this is not true for their children who tend to move right into the mainstream culture. This is what has happened to almost every immigrant group that has ever entered Canada. A welcome side-effect of integration is that many immigrant customs are adopted by the host culture. Think Caibana or the huge number of ethnic foods in Canada.
Nations that attempt to force immigrants to completely change their lifestyle have had little success. Note the nonsense in France regarding the wearing of female headgear. It is not only counter-productive, but it alienates the very people France is trying to assimilate.
I find your example of Syrians to be rather bizarre. For one thing the Syrians were refugees and thus not part of the regular immigration program. They were offered Canada as a better place to live than a refugee camp and they took it. Somehow I don't think that was a lie.
