Most of these gun deaths are occurring in parts of America with the least amount of gun freedom, the problem is cultural, not legal. Canadian gun laws aren't going to stop Americans from shooting each other, even if they adopted them wholesale, but some lefties are apt to blame American gun laws as if they are causing these gun deaths regardless.

Per capita dude, per capita factors out population size, that's whole point of per capita. Americans kill more people with guns than Canadians, even after you account for population size.

Yeah but, if you don't support pointless gun control policies, then you want children to die or some shit! Lefties so funny.

Yeah, but it's fun to crush Jimwd using gun death statistics, because they paint the opposite picture that he thinks they do, and keeps doubling down on the derp. Schooled at his own game, though he'll obviously never admit it, and will continue to cling to per capita gun death state by state comparisons as if it is the holy grail of gun stats.

Not only that, but we know most of the gun deaths in Alaska occur in it's most heavy populated areas, him trying to pretend like Alaska proves his point is quite humorous. State by state comparisons are nowhere near as useful as looking at where the gun deaths are occurring within the state. Jimwd only cherry picks state by state comparisons, because he thinks it makes the red states look bad, and he doesn't want to look at the stats within states, because that wouldn't support his pro-gun control argument at all, then he would see that most gun deaths occur in the parts of the state with the most gun control, not the least.

The purest supply in the world, straight outta Gettysburg. Lincoln struck the mother lode alright.

Humanitarian Pixie Dust is a hell of a drug.

Of course there are Chinese spies operating in Canada, but that doesn't mean Canada shouldn't be letting in thousands of Chinese immigrants, it's not like ending Chinese immigration would stop the spies from operating in Canada, or even put any kind of serious dent in Chinese spying activity.

Well they would be wise to keep the Queen, but I'd at least be a little surprised if they did.

At least until they actually secede, then they'll ditch the queen and make themselves into a Republic, in all likelihood.

Research that states the opposite of what you claim it does, does not constitute winning where I come from. I'm using your own source, but you don't want to look any deeper at your own stats, because you are afraid they won't say what you think they do. If anyone is confused around here, it's you. You want everyone to do your own homework, you cited Stats Canada, it's your job to make sure the stats you are citing actually paint the picture you think they do, and you have failed to do so.

Not in the article you posted. The average income stats can be looked up, you just refuse to do so, while mistaking another stat entirely for average income. You cherry picked the average income of the lowest earning Chinese immigrants, about 1/5th of the total immigrants from China, as the income average of all Chinese immigrants, it's not the same thing, not even close. If you cherry picked the highest earning Chinese immigrants, about 1/5th of the total immigrants from China, the stats would of course paint a far rosier picture of Chinese immigrants economic success, as would actually taking the average income of the entire group and comparing that to other ethnic groups.

Dude, you only want to look at stats that seem to support your own position, when I use your own source to tell you that other stats that are far more relevant paint a far different picture, you ignore them and don't want to look them up. Stats Canada does not agree with your assessment, you just want to only look at certain stats that don't matter to the point you are making while ignoring the stats that actually do matter.

No your report cherry picked the percentage of immigrant groups who make under a certain level of income, your stats did not include the average income of all Chinese Canadians and comparing that to the average income of other ethnic groups in Canada, the Chinese are near the top of that list, not the bottom.

Go look at the average income of ethnic groups in Canada, use Stats Canada if you want, you are cherry picking stats that don't show the whole picture, to make Chinese immigrants seem less economically successful than they actually are. Look at the income of Chinese Canadians and compare that average income to Haitian Canadians, you'll notice the Chinese Canadians make significantly more, and the stat you are citing is leading you to a faulty conclusion.

Your stats cherry pick the lowest end earners of various groups, not the average income of different ethnic groups. Just because you got the stats from Stats Canada doesn't mean the stats paint the picture you claim they do, you picked bad stats to judge which immigrant groups are economically successful, to make the Chinese look bad, which fits your confirmation bias.

Tariffs by any other name, still smell like shit.

True, it is comparing apples to oranges because of that, that's a good point.

I don't judge them by that either, I am simply pointing out that when it comes to economic success among immigrant groups, the Chinese are not near the bottom of the list, they are near the top. Don't let Argus's cherry picked stats mislead you into thinking that the Taiwanese, Chinese and South Koreans are about as economically successful as immigrant groups as the Haitians, Afghanis and Ethiopians, not that you fell for it or anything.

Cherry pickers gonna cherry pick stats in a lame attempt to back up their confirmation bias. For example the Taiwanese are the third most economically successful ethnic group in America by average income, yet Argus's stats have the likes of Taiwan, China and South Korea grouped in with the likes of Haiti and Afghanistan, in a clearly misleading comparison. Any actual look at the data has Chiniese immigrants among the most economically successful immigrant groups in North America, whether we are talking America or Canada here, makes little difference. Like I said, Chinese Americans have a higher average income than Canadian Americans or Swiss Americans, acting like the Chinese are one of the worst immigrant groups to bring into Canada is flat out preposterous.

That would be nice, problem is, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

The Chinese do very well outside of China, Chinese Americans make more than Swiss Americans or Canadian Americans, for instance. The Chinese are near the top of the list of ethnic groups, I'd like to see emigrate to Canada more, especially when it comes to the Hong Kong Chinese, and certainly closer to the top than they are the middle or the end of the list. None of the stats you cite actually refute that at all.

Canadian provinces already have tariffs against other provinces, that's one of the biggest problems with confederation, a lack of internal trade, it not like America where no state tariffs the products of another other state, America is a free trade zone, Canada is not.

Eh yo, Yellow Peril Moral Panic Monkeys, The 19th Century called, and it wants it's paranoid racism back.

I mean, when it comes to groups of immigrants I wish Canada had more of, Chinese immigrants are fairly high on the list. Pretending they are all foreign agents working to undermine the nation is just silly.
