And yet, no greater threat of terrorism.

What a shame.
What a sub-moronic "observation". As if all 21.9% are muslims. Funfact: Over the same period that there was a two-fold increase in hate crimes against muslims, hate crimes against White Canadians increased by 2.5 times. An increase almost commensurate with the increase in muslim migration to Canada.

And before you start arguing with me like a twit about that fact, your argument will be with StatsCan, not me.

Unfortunately, morons like you think anyone who is against mass immigration for no reason other it's than one massive virtue signal is a racist. I've always been pro-migration. Back before the days of mass immigration I lived for some time in what was one of Canada's most multi-ethnic/multi-cultural cities. It sure didn't bother me. The school I went to was like a mini-UN.
But back then, Canada was also more selective about immigration. It didn't matter where you were from, all that mattered was whether you could contribute while you enjoyed the benefits of living here.
You can't have mass immigration just for the sake of mass immigration to a welfare state without it causing some irreparable harm.
We are now officially over 1% of our total population in annual intake between immigrants and refugees. This is NOT a sustainable number by any stretch and it doesn't appear that it will be going down any time soon. Even the most pro-migration economist will tell you it's an utterly disastrous policy.

And then what does our govt do no matter who's in charge? They pile on by bringing in foreign labour to work minimum wage shit jobs because those employers can't find enough people here to fill them. Maybe that's a sign there's too many of those shit jobs and nobody here wants to spend at least half of their lives working them.
Maybe if the govt worked towards making Canada a more business friendly environment for companies that pay living wages and salaries we wouldn't have to rely so much on shitty McJobs for our "economy" and foreign labour to fill those positions.

And not to put too fine a point on it, if we're busy importing over 300,000 migrants every year plus refugees, then why the f*ck so we still need TFWs? Those shitty McJobs not good enough for the regular migrants either?
I mean if we're importing that many people every year and still need TFW's to fill the minimum rage jobs then something is seriously f*cking wrong with our immigration system and/or business investment environment.

This is a discussion board not a novel reading contest.

if it was I take it you just lost?

We take in people to do crappy jobs, instead of raising the pay on those jobs that the rich benefit from, but wouldn't do themselves.

According to Immigration Canada, the most economically successful immigrants are from England and Ireland, the US, and then northern Europe. The least economically successful immigrants are from the middle east and China.

Immigrants from Europe have similar skillsets, come from places with similar secular, democratic cultures, and have a high familiarity with English. The immigrants from elsewhere have little familiarity with our culture, and often have values hostile to it, and little to no familiarity with the language.

This study echoes a similar one done ten years earlier.

So why is it you want to get away from economically successful immigrants?

Yes that's why we are trying to ban Chinese investors in Vancouver. Because they are unsuccessful.

I think we would actually need to look at these studies you are trying to quote.

No shit. Please tell me you Granpa wasn't 6'6" and Grandma was 4'11'. Let's assume she was said to be from Norway when in reality she would have been from the Ukraine, specifically the Gypsy part. That would means somebody in your clan got her witch like powers.

Saw your pic with sleepy. How about you both put on the same clown suits, take a selfi and use that as your avatars for a day or longer. The prize for you is you get to have me say something like, 'I stand corrected, you two aren't chronic liars.'

So if we ever needed proof why worrying about immigration was pointless, this is yet.
