We are industrialized, and so use more energy than nations only partially industrialized. We are cold in winter, and use more energy than warm countries, and we are rich enough to all have air conditioning so we use more energy in the summer too. We are spread out so use more energy getting things back and forth. And we have an oil industry on top of that.

Hate is also becoming an overused word, like 'fascist' and 'racist'. You can want immigration to be lowered without 'hating' immigrants.

Hate can be personal, and still be restricted from being expressed. Expressing one's personal hate in the public sphere leads to assault. If Bissonette had not had access to anti-immigrant/anti-Islam rhetoric, would he have decided to shoot up a Mosque? Doubtful, given that until he was exposed to this rhetoric, he was not particularly extreme. I agree that keeping hate 'underground' is problematic, too, but in my opinion it is less problematic than allowing it unfettered expression.

Wait, this like is being spread to HELP Trudeau?? OMG it's like a trolling double-dip: spread a lie to disparage the OM then blame him for starting it!

I see. So you're blaming the VERY LOW number of whites working in "high skilled jobs" on them moving to the U.S. Really? A few things for you to ponder, in response to your terrible argument: 1) How many recent Canadian computer engineers are white? How many not white? Take a trip to UBC and SFU and check out the diversity of the students. Especially when it comes to computer engineering students. But you go ahead and pretend that the people who are leaving to the big companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc. are all white 2) Canada is becoming more educated, thanks to the immigrants. Where is your thank you? It also shows that Canada has the highest proportion of college graduates among developed nations, partly because recent immigrants are especially well-educated. The percentage of all immigrants with a master's or doctorate degree is twice that of the Canadian-born population. Link Twice more! 3) It's not just post graduates: The Immigration Department report, obtained through an access to information request, found 36 per cent of the children of immigrants aged 25 to 35 held university degrees, compared to 24 per cent of their peers with Canadian-born parents. Link 4) This is the reality that you need to deal with, instead of deny: According to a separate study by Jack Jedwab of the Association of Canadian Studies, 54.2 per cent of new immigrants in the prime working age between 35 and 44 had at least a bachelor’s degree in the cohorts arriving between 2011 and 2016, up from 30.5 per cent in the 1990s. By comparison, only 27.9 per cent of non-immigrants have the same level of education. Link So again: Why are the high skilled jobs held mostly by immigrants or children of immigrants? Because they're more educated. Not because whites are running off to the U.S.

So many feelings, so little information... Can the snowflakes on here please just punch your pillows instead of dumping your personal issues on here? Thanks, from people who value discussion...

Hahaha...yes!

Your ancestors were such racist pigs to civilize the world, British. You built the largest empire of the World and enlightened many other Empires -and the world to this day- by your scientific, academic, economic and military realizations. Your capital city is now home to the most diverse population across the world probably. Your language is now spoken almost everywhere. Shame on you to have put out of the Dark Ages the many countries you civilized. Shame. (to answer to Trevor Noah's rant about how bad the Englishmen are)

This is so wrong. Millions of Canadians suffer from mental health issues. To not criminalize this is insane. Society is sending a clear message: If you have mental health problems, kill yourself.

Speaking of chicks...that's a lot of Tommy guns.
