Canadian immigrants just do what Canadian citizens have done for generations....work, live, and move to the United States.

For Democrats.....Brett Kavanaugh bad...Keith Ellison good ! https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/09/keith-ellison-brett-kavanaugh-hypocrisy-violence-against-women/

Article 23.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (of which Canada is a signatory Member State) states: The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights states in Part III, Article 6: How can the Government of Canada try to pressure the US to abrogate its right-to-work laws when Canada itself is a signatory Member State of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights? Not only does Canada fail to live up to its international obligations by lacking right-to-work laws of its own, but it then actively encourages another state to ignore its international obligations on the matter too. Should any trade deal not be founded on the basic international human-rights documents that Canada itself has signed?

If you read my comments on immigration, you'd realize that I too believe that immigration reform is urgently required, especially to curb dependency, which drains public coffers.

Probably not, sadly. Conservatives don't touch policing. I see them as public servants like anyone else.

Those two liberal idiots need to go. They are going to screw up everything with their shenanigans. If they think that Trump is going to bend over backwards and agree to their liberal version of wheeling and dealing they are in for a big kick in the ass. Trump is not fooling around. Trump is there for America and not for Canada's well being and interest. Canada is the mouse and America is the elephant in the room. If they decide to step on us we are squished. What is needed is for farmers on both sides of the border to do their own wheeling and dealing among themselves and not the government. And that goes for other industries also. Isn't that what trade is suppose to mean? A Canadian meeting an American and getting together to hash out a deal between themselves. Why is the government involved? Can someone explain this to me because I am not getting it. When people in business want to create more business for themselves in some other country they go to that country and look to make their own deals to sell their products. They do not use the government to speak for them. Personally, I am still at a loss as to what the hell are they all talking about? I am not being informed on anything as to what is holding up this waste of taxpayer's tax dollars on both sides. Government can be such a waste of time, effort and money. Let the people in business do the trade deals. Sounds simple and easy to me. But then again, what do I know. As a Canadian I am suppose to just pay my taxes and just shut the hell up. Tax me, I am Canadian.

It is important to never walk away. We need to keep negociating for as long as it takes or for President Trump to try and remove Canada from NAFTA. That likely could not take place until next year and the US administration would likely meet with domestic opposition. The US objective has always been to kill NAFTA. It didn't matter who was negociating on Canada's behalf. Supply management did not become an issue until it appeared an agreement was near, then the US moved the goal posts. The US wishes to crush Canada just as they recently did to Mexico. If we give in on supply management, then they will go after Canada's auto sector. Never give in and never give up. Stretch it out for another six years if neccessary. If we can delay the signing between the US and Mexico until after the new government in Mexico takes office, they may not be so eager to sign.

The problem is that a lot of Canadians (and Americans) know that they are being lied to but they are ok with it as long as it benefits their side. It's especially ok for Libs because it gives them something to bitch about, and they feel like that elevates them socially. Liberalism is a lot like being a born-again Christian: people feel like they instantly pull their reputation up from the gutter by bragging about their religious purity or their liberal superiority. Born again: "I used to rob houses, sell drugs, and I got a lot of people started on crack, but now I'm born again, so I'm going to lecture you on how to live." Liberal: "I don't really know anything about foreign trade, foreign affairs, the economy, world history, religion, or socialism/capitalism but I really hate that guys like Brett Kavanaugh think that they can get away with attempted rape so I'm a Democrat, like Madonna. Trump is like, really really gross. Yeah I know that saying stuff like that proves that I'm like, totally ossummmm, but I don't do it for the instant recognition. I do it because I'm like, a bad-ass social justice warrior, ya know?"

Liberals want to include their vision of identity politics into the mix. That is the problem many voters have with her, and with Justin Trudeau. It has nothing to do with her being a woman, as many women in Canadian politics are well respected. I suspect it is a sticking issue with NAFTA negotiations as well.

Usually sponsored relatives have enough supports to keep them fairly independent. Yes, there may be health care costs, but these people are buying products, renting/buying property, paying taxes, and making other contributions, even if they're retired. I think a certain amount of drain on the system is the price you pay. At least Canada targets immigration to the skills/sectors where there's a need, and uses a point system to assess applicants. Family class immigration/sponsorship isn't quite the same thing. Sure, we may get some low skill workers, but we used to bring in a ton of low-skilled workers. Our country was built on it early on. We still bring in a lot of Phillippino nannies. I've never understood this, but apparently there's a high demand. I don't know why our young, lower skilled Canadian workers can't serve equally well as nannies. Odd.

This fucking retarded stupid mullah theocracy in Iran is killing people. Their sick twisted ideology is only to serve them. Bunch of backward antiquated idiots importing their ideology into iranian nation!!! Their support for Hezbollah and Hammas is only to serve their interest not even palestinians....

The thing is, we've managed to move past our own "barbaric" culture, dragging fundamental Christians kicking and screaming along with us, even when Christians comprised well over half of our population. I fail to see how 3.2% of Muslims are going to be able to 'drag us backwards", especially given that the 'extreme' ones are a small percentage of that 3.2%. Unless perhaps they join forces with the fundamental Christians, Jews and White Nationalists, who all have a similar ideology when it comes to women. That might give them a resounding 5%. I know there's some kind of notion out there that Muslims, when they get to some tiny percentage of the population (10%?) they take over. In my opinion, its a little far-fetched to imagine that 10% of any group could simply take over the rest of the group.

But it's a much smaller population...there are more immigrants in the U.S. than Canada's entire population.

Any reputable Islamic scholar will confirm that these garments are not a requirement of Islam. So who requires them? It is the ideology of Islamic extremists. It is the extremists that believe women should not be allowed out of the house without being completely shrouded and in total submission. It's a frightening ideology from a woman's perspective. I'm not really sure that men understand fully what it means to be a woman and see these hideous blobs that this ideology reduces women to. As Dia has pointed out, women's rights in Western society are a fairly recent thing. I for one, would not like to see our society go backwards just to make those who still cling to these barbaric beliefs feel more comfortable with having them.

After telling Canadians and veterans that veterans are asking for more than what the country can afford, it turns out that Trudeau and his government have left $372M earmarked for veterans unspent since taking office in November 2015. https://globalnews.ca/news/4447716/trudeau-liberals-leave-372m-meant-for-veterans-unspent/ It's despicable and shameful how the veterans are treated in this country.

O I am sure Ford will raise taxes and cut discretionary spending and be responsible to improve Ontario's deficit.

So just tax the snot out of the rich. Problem solved.
