  1. And how will you prove who inherited money vs who earned it. You don't really even know if your friend family earned that money, alot of the immigrants who come here got their money doing something seedy and then come to Canada or another nation to launder the money. The liberals are in control, they will set the immigration policy, there is nothing you can do, Harper lost. Why would any immigrant who was independently wealthy and did not obtain their money in a seedy manner leave their country of birth, where they are likely accustomed to, have plenty of connections, face few or no barriers to basically live as 2nd class citizens in Canada? Think about it.
  2. https://www.cbsnews.com/videos/60-minutes-examines-h-1b-visas-outsourcing-american-jobs/ Tech is more than just IT in my mind Any how, I cannot explain why your study had the IT unemployment rate so low, without knowing how they came to those numbers or the calculations that went into it. Most IT people are smart, they will find work packing groceries if they have to rather than being unemployed or homeless in the street. So its not a question of unemployment, rather a question of being employed in an area that they are trained for. "Americans are losing jobs to foreigners and training their replacements. Disney laid off 850 American workers, some of whom were given 90 days to train their replacements with the threat of losing their severance pay if they didn’t stay to the end. “We all felt humiliated when the foreign workers sat next to us and watched everything that we did,” wrote one Disney employee going through the experience. The training sessions prove that the H-1B workers don’t hold special skills that American workers lack. “If our own pool of IT professionals were so incompetent, then why would companies like Disney have us train our replacements and spend months teaching them?” wrote the displaced worker. So many staff spoke Hindi during their training period that a departing employee remarked, “I really felt like a foreigner in that building.”" https://www.huffingtonpost.com/judy-frankel/insourcing-american-lose-_b_11173074.html "As H-1B expert Ron Hira of Howard University in Washington, D.C., testified, “over the past year, in addition to the Southern California Edison case, a number of other cases—including Disney, Northeast Utilities, the Fossil Group, Catalina Marketing, New York Life, Hertz, Toys R Us, and I could keep going on—were highlighted by the press. But these were only the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There are many more cases out there.” Testimony by labor force expert Hal Salzman of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, in New Jersey added that “all evidence and events suggest [that] the substitution of guest workers for U.S. workers is accelerating.”" " they tell a different story in filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Salzman noted. “Accenture states that restrictions on guest worker supply would result in ‘new or higher minimum salary requirements and increased costs.’ Another firm says they would have to ‘replace existing offshore resources with local resources, namely U.S. workers, at higher wages.’ That is, without the congressional discount for guest workers, the highly profitable IT industry would have to hire more U.S. workers and pay them more than guest workers.”" http://www.sciencemag.org/careers/2016/03/displaced-american-stem-workers-spur-senate-hearing It is cheaper to bring in labor at first than to outright offshore it from scratch. After all, even if you intend to offshore, it is more logical to bring in your Indian worker//trainers to California to see how everything is done in America and try to replicate that setup in India. Then it is a contradiction. If offshoring is dead, there is no reason to move outside the country to a neighbour in a high cost environment with substantial business regulations and high taxes and employer health tax, wsib, ei, cpp and insurance, when they could literally pay 10 Indians who speak fluent English what 1 english-canadian manager would get. Why would timezone matter, don't be ridiculous here, India is also a common law nation and most Indians who are educated are fluent in English. Some of those smart Indians getting paid to work in an offshore firm will work 18 hours a day because they know how rare it is to get the opportunity. I don't oppose accepting IT workers from other regions if the jobs are there for them, but I have seen no evidence of a shortage requiring millions of skilled immigrants when we have alot of skilled people struggling to find work here in Canada.
  3. 1. "A compelling body of research is now available, from many leading academicresearchers and from respected research organizations such as the National Bureau of Economic Research, the RAND Corporation, and the Urban Institute. ... All have concluded that U.S. higher education produces far more science and engineering graduates annually than there are S&E job openings—the only disagreement is whether it is 100 percent or 200 percent more...." 2. Yes, anti immigrnt resentment doesn't come from a mexican taking a 12 hour fruit picking job on a farm no one wants, it comes from an unemployed stem grad who sees the government letting in foreigners take the job he wanted or having to train your indian replacement. 3. Stealing jobs is highly apt because the employers are committing visa fraud, a form of theft against the workers in collusion with the foreign nationals who they are bringing in to steal local workers jobs. It is a market but there are rules. If the USA cancels H1Bs, the companies will do 1 of 2 things. 1 replace them with US workers at low wages if possible. 2. Offshore the jobs to India as much as possible. There is no reason to move the job to Canada. Canada has higher operating cost than USA in general, but at best slightly lower. They'd also pay lower knowing that Canadian engineers earn less than in silicon valley.
  4. Restaurant jobs in toronto are paying $14-15 an hour plus tip out so $close to $18 an hour on average. How much more should they offer? The labor shortages means working conditions get worse because less workers to do same volume of work. Companies will almost never voluntarily raise wages, they will only do it in response to government forcing them. Why would they? IN a free market you are right, but with exception of somalia, afghanistan and some places like cambodia and east europe, these true free markets don't exist. The Canadian market is highly regulated and manipulated, etc. No, you need to have the gov't raise the wages, the people who run businesses do not run them logically, in many cases, they'd rather shut the business down than pay a higher wage ie. mcdonald's in quebec.
  5. I'm wth Bnam, I bought tesla at 130 a share, last I checked it was in the 300+ range so I made more than 2x as well, they are expanding and on the cusp of a major breakthrough in China, its really going to be huge.
  6. Yeah, what immigrant will leave behind their wife, inlaws, family etc?
  7. Pretty much, because you don't oppose "first world" immigration or 2nd world immigration, presumably because most "first and second world" nations are white majority and you are presuming you'd get more white immigrants, so having a preference for immigrants for being white is racist. After all, you'd probably oppose a bunch of immigrants from Britain who were West Indian or East Indian or African in origin coming from france, etc? Go into factories, see the help wanted signs. Its on the low end. the problem is the workers, don't want to stay in these low wage, dead end jobs. No one moves to Canada to work in a restaurant or factory for 30 years. No government can reduce immigration, restaurants, factories are too dependent on it. Unless you want to see almost every restaurant shut down and every factory, and every lawn care company and corporate farm and major employer dependent on unskilled labour? Also capitalist elite. Except, you need the companies to locate here, and then they'd realize labor cost are cheaper Nope, the tech firms only hire immigrants because they are CHEAPER, and don't know their rights, there are a surplus of US tech workers who cannot find jobs. This is where anti-immigrant resentment comes from. There are poor immigrants coming in and working on farms, factories and restaurants. There are also the H1-b immigrants who ARE stealing jobs from local people on the high end and they are used to drive down wages for locals. Why hire a local engineer when you can hire an indian, pay him $90,000 a year instead of $190,000, give him no breaks, no overtime and treat him like dirt? Not really, NDP don't oppose it.
  8. It becomes readily appearant when someone has no private sector management experience when they speak on this issue. Those 2 million unemployed Canadians could go get floor sweeping jobs, or trade jobs, or other semi skilled and unskilled labor jobs like factory work where there is a shortage of labor. The problem is no person born in this country would take that job unless they were down in the dumps or enjoyed do a physically demanding back breaking job. I had to cut the lawn for my parents, shovel the snow, it was a big property and back breaking work when I was young and athletic, if I was unemployed, those unfilled jobs would be completly unviable. We do have immigrants from Britain, many of them like Chief Saunders or Chris Spence and Lennox Lewis. Why would someone from a rich uncrowded country like Scotland move to a poorer country like Canada away from all their family? Why would Aussies with a stronger economy leave all their family behind and move to a poorer country with less opportunity where they know no one? Why would someone from Switzerland, or Norway or another EU country with a higher living standard leave their entire life, friends, family, connections and lifestyle, learn a new language, get set back in their career, leave behind their wife or husband, to come to a new country, 8 hour flight from home, leave behind their kids, try to learn a new language and take a drastic drop in standard of living for at least a decade to come to Canada. It makes no sense. I went to school for 1 year in switzerland on student exchange. And that was precisely the reason I never attempted to "immigrate" or get a job there. No person in their right mind, would leave 1 developed country in a relatively advantaged position, to move to a 2nd developed country and be hugely disadvantaged. It makes literally no sense. The only person that move makes sense for, is usually someone coming from some village with nothing in a 3rd world nation. That is why we have so many Russian immgirants but so few german immigrants. Who is this majority? You had voted for Harper, he lost, Trudeau won, the majority favor immigrantion in massive waves. I as a property owner, like lots of immigrants pouring in because I get people to rent my property. Have you ever seen what happens to landlords when all of the people grow up, move on and out? NO RENTERS!
  9. We do have an aging population, we also have a worker shortage right here in Toronto. Have you ever looked at the restaurant industry? Restaurants are opening and cannot even find enough line cooks hardly, this is why so many people are quitting because the owners are overloading the few workers they have with incredible amounts of work. The fraser institute is not a credible source, they are basically a conservative think tank who holds tea party like positions and has a pattern of researching in ways that are not credible. While I am willing to consider there could be cost potentially from immigration (ie importing of parents who are old and sick and cannot work), you have to look at the net benefit. What happens if the parents cannot come here is the kids go back, taking their school aged children and their labor, making the abour shortages where they exist even worse. While it may be techniclly true that there are enough unemployed people to fill the positions of shortages, who is going to tell the unemployed med school grad who couldn't get a residency to go fill the job shortage in cleaning toilets and roofing houses and welding pipelinesor gutting fish in newfoundland?
  10. This is interesting because the expert panel recommended that they increase immigration immediately to 450,000 people a year, so Trudeau is much too conservative on the immigration issue.
  11. Pretty much this. Although, I'd suspect it just be easier to buy off the government in some small province like PEI than to do his plan. I'd imagine if you were a billionaire, it'd be easier to buy off half the parliament in a small place like PEI or Yukon than to carry out that plan.
  12. Government and CIA should bomb the entire region, let God sort them out.
  13. What I find odd, is all the attention given to muslim refugees, like the syrians, rohinga, somalia, and how they get first class tickets to the west, but all the christians being butchered by muslims in congo by the millions are ignored by the bias media.
  14. they begged to be in the EU, now they are in it and must follow its rules or go back to being 3rd world dumps they were before.
  15. I do wonder, if it is the whites who are naive on this topic. Why would they assume immigrants from a country that have resisted large waves of foreign cultures and gave up their true identities for islamic arabic ones would all of a sudden become flag waving germans upon immigration. Turks gave up their entire christian identity, their entire asian identity, to become muslims and speak arabic and wear hijabs, why would they all of a sudden become brown white men? And who does that anyways.
  16. Well given that you have Quebec trying to do it, and those in Barcelona trying to separate, odds arethat it is impractical. Getting people to not only support your idea but all move to one location is very hard as people follow jobs. So what if you have a territory, if you cannot get people in it, it doesn't matter.
  17. Have you ever been to Nigeria, never mind, w eknow you haven't. Nigeria has a very low crime rate. The irony is that CTV news ran an entire documentary on how Canada was the center of fraud for the entire world because of how soft on crime our laws are. Have you seen the inquiry on murdered and missing aboriginal women in Canada? How many times the police refuse to even investigate, have you ever been a victim of crime in Canada, and seen how useless our police are in catching criminals and how our injustice system lets the criminals walk free. Yeah and you think Canadian politicans are honest, I will remember this the next time you bad mouth trudeau and morneau. Maybe the reason you keep encountering criminals is because you run with a shady crowd.
  18. Speak for yourself, but I understand your point. Racismwhite supremacy at this point is deeply engraved in most white majority nations and countries and cultures to the point that I could see why people who come from countries where white worship has become the norm think this way. And it is not just white countries, many arab nations or mestito nations under white domination and some east asian nations have this complex.
  19. Please do tell me what Arab nations are in North America?
  20. Well that would be the obvious logical thing. As we all know this doesn't run off logic, none of the governing parties have ever done so. i do not believe it is motivated by white guilt, but by coruption and the donaations from white indian leaders to federal politicians to keep he money coming. Candidates want the donations and votes, white indians want free government money, tax payer get screwed for no rreason.
  21. Trump picked them. Trump is a traditional democrat, was a life long democrat, and pretended to be a republican because in his own words they are stupid and gullible. Everything Ted Cruz said about him being a fraud and a con are true. Trump is a quitter. Trump is not a billionaire, he inherited inflation adjusted 10 billion and lost it all through several bankruptcies. Then why does Trump not read? But Trump is a liar, a thief and a crook and a con too. What corruption did Obama have? Do you see how Trump has a lobbyist running the DEA for protectng the opium dealers?
  22. Nope, $5 Indians, their grandparents paid $5 to be classified as Indians to get Indian land which was cheaper back then, than buying from a white man. Most of the real indians are living on reserves with no access to the money the white "tribal" leaders control or are plain old kicked out of the band and classes as non-status indians. Its kind of funny in a way, 1 group of white people have conned the larger society (other whites) into giving them goodies by pretending to be red indians. While the red indians cannot even get an indian status card because they are mostly non-status as the white indians have set up the rules to boot them out the band so they get more money per person.
  23. What tax has he repealed, please name 1 tax. Also, since he hasn't passed any major legislation through congress yet, this should be a good laugh. Clinton was impeached by the house not senate. Trump's agenda is not new, it is old and rehashed, he was just more clever conman. He cannot even do the one thing he was elected for cut taxes.
