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.

If we're banning Chinese investors I haven't heard of it. But a lot of these so-called investors, tend to buy a condo, then go home and keep their passport in the wall safe - just in case. I am philosophically opposed to selling Canadian passports to foreigners to use as an insurance document.

They're chasing the wrong passport, methinks:

How about all the chambermaids? All make minimum wage and the Gov pays 1/2 of it and they usually room together so they never integrate into the community.

If you're working at Wal-mart you aren't even paying your own bills, let alone those of other people.

But we never spent a penny educating them or their health care.

Cheap human capital.

The Govt pays f-ck all.

Northern Ontario,
If you're working at Wal-mart you aren't even paying your own bills, let alone those of other people.
Like the eastern Europeans that came here after the war......father worked in the bush, mother washed clothes and did house cleaning for extra money, kids delivered paper and did odd jobs and with their saved money later they bought a business with that money.
One such descendant of emigrant with a polish last name just moved next door. He's a self made millionaire, and I don't begrudge him his accomplishment....
How many middle Eastern people own corner stores near you????? or gas stations???
I noticed a few of them are crooked, down south, ....but that's a story for another time......:lol:
The gas station where I buy my gas is owned by an East indian, but his pumps are true measures.
For some reason gas pumps are checked regularly here up north.......

About who is paying the bills of those working at Walmart! (not really)

If you're not paying income tax then all the government services provided to you, from the roads you drive on to the health care you receive, are being paid for on your behalf by other Canadians through higher taxes on them.
