I somewhat agree with you on this. It’s where the left is dipping into fascist bans on freedom of religion. We’re seeing it in Quebec. Rather than bans on government workers wearing religious symbols I’d far rather see all people feel free to express their faiths. Bring on the Christmas trees and nativity scenes at Christmas, the menorahs at Hanukkah, and the feasting at Eid. That’s a far healthier democratic way to be than to suppress religious expression like a communist country.

Infrastructure needs to be updated all the time. It's inevitable. It's not a bad thing. Infrastructure is one of the top job creating areas in most countries. Baby boomers are retiring at a much higher rate than we're having children. There are two outcomes: 1) Baby boomers are no longer doing the jobs they were doing and there is a smaller percentage taking their places. This is why we have so much need for skilled workers. This is not some bs conspiracy - it's the truth. 2) When more taxpayers retire than people taking their spots, it means that we have less people paying taxes. When they retire, their costs go up, especially for social and medical services. Until we have automation and more robots that can take the place of humans to do work, we need replacements for people who are retiring or dying. This is simple economics. Without immigration, this is not going to be realized. Majority of the immigrants that are coming into Canada are coming through the skilled worker programs. These are people who are under 35, with savings and most importantly, with skills that we need. A perfect example of this are the east coast provinces. Look at their economies. They're stale. There is debt. There is no economic activity. This is not because of immigration. This is because people are getting older and there aren't enough people who are replacing them. Here is a comparison between 2nd generation (children of people who migrated to Canada) from West Asian/Arab countries, compared to 2nd generation whites - This is something I shared with Argus after he continued on about how Arab/Asian immigrants don't do as well as White immigrants: You're blaming this on immigration? Weak. Better planning and policies are needed to tackle these issues. For example, in Alberta, there is a stretch of highway 1, where they have created overpasses for wildlife to bypass the traffic. The number of wildlife being hit by vehicles has gone down drastically. Canada has been experiencing these new waves of immigration for a long time. It's nothing new. The reason why you think our culture is in danger is because you've consumed yourself with anti-immigration sentiment and are in an alert mode because of what you surround yourself with. I live in one of the most diverse cities in Canada: Vancouver. I've also lived in Regina, one of the least diverse cities. At least it used to be. I can tell you that Vancouver is a much better place to live. Personally, I love seeing new cultures. New food. New stores. New energy. Life would be so boring if there was no change. The Silk Road, connecting Asia and Europe was one of the most important part of our planet's history. It brought different cultures together. Ideas were exchanged. Ideas were adopted. Ideas were improved. Life will NEVER stand still. Everything is always changing and in some cases, improving. We need to focus on how to make sure that the inevitable change happens in a positive way. Costing us $30 billion a year? Can you validate this? You're too afraid of the others. Next time you're in Vancouver, I want to take you out for some food. Food is the best way to connect with people from other cultures. Talk to these people. Get to know them. We're all the same. All people want is to live a happy and secure life. Don't let stereotypes and ignorance poison your view of people. Over 99.9% of people you see every day, it doesn't matter where they're from, are good people.

Agreed, Trump is sketchy at best, quasi-Russian oligarch following Putin’s geopolitical roadmap of US disengagement from all potential Russian spheres of influence. He is trying to broker a zero-sum winner takes all economic win against all foreign countries, not just China, which is why we have to be wary. We always had to be wary, mind you.

The Liberals revoked the candidacy of Hassan Guillet over an anti-Semitic comment. However, Hassan isn't only anti-Semitic - much worse, he is a terrorist sympathizer! Being a "former" imam - and based on his comment, we could even say he is a terrorist jihadist enabler! https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/liberals-revoke-candidacy-of-hassan-guillet-over-alleged-anti-semitic-posts Who is Raed Salah? http://jcpa.org/al-aksa-is-in-danger-libel/al-aksa-libel-raed-salah-and-the-vision-of-a-global-islamic-caliphate/ Why does the Liberals ignore that obvious fact?

But all this will wash off the liberal voters back....and will not make a bit of difference in how they will remain under the liberal spell....does that make them complicit in all these acts....if it does not it sure means their morals and values are not where they should be....time for a gut check liberals, man the F**** up....

Because it would be Ìslamophobic doncha know Acording to Senator Linda Frum Reliable sources tell me they’ve known since May. Were hoping no one else would notice?! Shame on the Liberal Party for tolerating AntiSemitism in the hope of winning votes. Really despicable.

Holy condescending, Batman.

Another virtue signaller has fallen by her own sword:

What I carry around with me all the time is anti bull shit spray. Anytime I come into contact with a leftist liberal I spray them with the stuff to keep them away from me. LOL.

Yeah, that's not my speed neither, I'm not a suburban guy, I went from right downtown, all the way out to the country, Mississauga is a wasteland.

All is very relative. Depends on what you are trying to find and what makes up your own "quality of life". I go through 2 traffic lights between my job and my home (mind you my job is on the other side of town ) Distance traveled ; 3km; time one way 7 minutes. After work I can go mushroom picking (king boletus, pines, chantrelles) or I go salmon fishing, or trout fishing, or hiking, or picking blue berries. In spring I can always find bears and take pictures. Wintertime I do great fishing in the snow. My mortgage is about 20% of my income, so not too stressed over that (although I know I have been screwed like just about everyone else). What I do not have is social entertainment ; topless bottomless kind of stuff; opportunities for exotic travels, opportunities to feel someone, but overall I am convinced my life is better than the average life in Ontario. So you guys there can have it all ; I am not going to take your space. Two pictures from my backyard to show you my terrible quality of life. (the actual "quality" is in having the physical abilities to go up there, when many Ontarians in their teens and 20s will remain on the bottom)

True...and the Millennium Bomber came from Canada long before 9/11. Other U.S. terrorist attacks followed from...Canada. No more negotiating with Canada ?

What are Trump's 'wages' for being President ?

It's too bad we have such a fourth rate mental health system in this country or perhaps someone could find out and treat them.
