No, it absolutely is not. Show me the job that is like being a waiter or retail clerk that pays that much. Because they can't. Except, perhaps, in a few isolated places for a few, isolated jobs. But the great mass of foreign workers are not out in the boonies, but in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and other large cities. Yes, people have been leaving small, rural areas for the big cities for a long time - because there are no jobs in rural areas, or at least, none that pay much. If you're saying that's reversed, then maybe those kids wouldn't be leaving for the big cities, eh? Unless those jobs are few and far between.

What he said is correct, and the PLO was so listed in multiple Western countries including this one. What you replied with is, of course, utter nonsense. You are aware, aren't you, that in European countries now, civilized European countries like Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK, Jewish schools and often synagogues have police or paramiiltary standing outside with automatic weapons in case they are attacked. Right? Notably, this is not necessary in countries like Hungary and Poland which have refused Muslim migrants.

What does this mean? That all the other countries don't have enough intelligent people to know better? That the other countries in that region are full of barbarians and savages and can't be expected to live up to our standards? You seem to lack the imagination to understand what it must be like for a tiny country surrounded by a huge mass of religious fanatics who want to kill everyone in your country. Every year, every month, some of them try desperately to get into Israel just to kill a few Jews, even knowing they will die doing it. As we saw just today. You can't imagine how it must affect you growing up like that, every day of your life being aware of the threat. I have difficulty myself, but I have a very good imagination and can place myself in their position. The wonder is they don't hate Arabs more than they do. Says the guy who sits in a safe country far away, never having known or even imagined danger.

Statistics in Western countries say otherwise.

Riiight. I'm pretty sure you sought out those videos of Jewish girls being raped and tortured to death on Oct 7 to wank off to them.

I believe the protesters are made up of two distinct groups. People, mostly Muslims, with a virulent hatred for Jews. Moronic Western liberals who know nothing more than that the Palestinians have been placed in the 'oppressed' box and the Israelis in the 'oppressor' box. Thus, everything Israel does is horrible, and nothing the Palestinians do can be criticized. I mean, 'Queers for Palestine' FFS! Such a group would be murdered by those they are protesting on behalf of anywhere in the Palestinian territories. Are you denying that plays a part in the protests? SAYS HAMAS. You guys always seem to forget that.

The problem with this is we know very well who murdered and kidnapped innocent people on Oct. 7. They were pride of themselves and even took videos to share to the world. But we don't really know even IF Palestinians are starving, let alone who is responsible. There are credible reports that massive amounts of aid gets into Gaza and then is not being distributed because Hamas likes the idea of having Israel blamed for 'starving' Palestinians.

Not everyone who criticizes Israel is an antisemite. But all antisemites criticize Israel. It might be. I find the obsession so many people have with Israel to be difficult to explain for any other reason. It is very, very far from the worst violator of human rights in the world, or even in its region. And it has more excuse than almost all those who are worse.

The first thing he thought of when she asked him about the benefits of these people coming to Prince Rupert was 'Diversity". Yeah, he's a leftist.

Aren't they? He says they pay above market rates. What does that mean? The market, if it's free, sets its rate as 'whatever it takes to hire someone adequate to the job'. So if they can't hire anyone, they are, by definition, not paying market rates. That's on top of the fact all these foreign workers depress market rates. Like what kind of jobs? Because the jobs he was talking about were restaurant, retail, and hotel housekeeping jobs. Are you saying they're paying that much? I doubt that. Of course, immigrants are happier to work there. They haven't got any ties to anywhere else in the country, so it's easy for them to go wherever they want. If the stores and restaurants in that area are wanted by the local people, then they will pay sufficient prices that those stores and restuarants can hire workers. Regardless of what they have to offer or how hard it is to find them. If the locals don't really feel they need such outlets, then they won't. That's how the market works.

Are you saying its just as pleasant and easy to live in a city of Thunder Bay as London?

Why do you hate women, herbie? Never been able to get a girlfriend?

People talk about all the Indians working in fast food restaurants and retail outlets. But there's a shitload working in more skilled jobs that wind up taking jobs from and depressing the wages of Canadians. Like Canadian IT grads can't find work because all the jobs are taken by Indian temps. Like an Egyptian I saw quoted in an article earlier today, who said 93% of their country is unlivable. Everyone - a hundred million people - lives in a line along the Nile.

Nobody cares about foreigners picking strawberries, you twat. And we'd even accept foreigners working in isolated, unpleasant jobs like fish factories. We don't need them in the cities. And calling me bigoted is rich when you're in favour of bringing over millions of people from the most misogynistic societies on Earth and setting them free in our cities. Hate women much?

Statistics on how many foreign workers are in Canada, and where they're from. Apparently, if I'm reading this right, there are at this very moment, over three million temporary foreigners working in Canada. Yes, that's right THREE MILLION foreign workers. These are just the ones on legal visas, mind you. This doesn't count the illegals. https://immigrationstatistics.ca/

Yeah, but not in this country. And that's by the numbers. Christianity is just a wee bit larger than Judaism.

They're screaming for jobs, mostly. And while they want people, they don't need unskilled third-world labourers who think women in shorts are prostitutes and thus free for the taking.

Even some gay union leaders. And if nothing else tells us how brainless the Left is it's the 'queers for Palestine' bunch, championing a group that would cheerfully throw them off a building if they could. Feminist lefties refusing to criticize the mass rape, torture, and murder of women in Israel, refusing to ever mention that Muhammed married a six-year-old, refusing to condemn Muslim societies that require women to cover themselves so as not to arouse men, refusing to condemn Muslim nations that don't give women equal rights. As long as they see a people as the sacred oppressed victim, they will never criticize them no matter what they do.

Gee, that wouldn't relate to how many newcomers have come over at all, would it? Or the rise of the fashionable trannies? But Jews are the most targeted group. There's not that many of them yet there are four times as many hate crimes committed against them as against the next most targeted religious group. Oh, no, they've been expressing them for decades. Especially in the Muslim world, where hatred of Jews is overwhelmingly the norm. But they've felt freer to express their hatred since Oct 7 because so many lefty types have become enthralled with Palestinians as the 'underdog' and their tiny brains can only think of hating whoever is the winner in any conflict. This is similar to how they loathe Western culture and countries like Canada, the UK and the US because their ancestors were so successful. The Left has been completely taken over by identity politics and the victim culture.

Nothing Israel is doing comes remotely close to the kinds of slaughters I've seen other countries engage in over the past fifty years. Yet none of those wars or slaughters drew remotely this level of outrage and indignation from Western lefties. They just tsk-tsked over the slaughters in Yugoslavia, in Iraq, in Syria, in Yemen, in Sudan, in Cambodia, in East Timor, in Chechnya, in Rwanda, and other places over the years. But these furious daily demonstrations - four a day in Toronto since Oct 7, mass occupations at universities, demands for boycotting Israel, for companies that might have stock in Israeli companies, or even in companies that deal with Israel has never been seen over any slaughter or war anywhere. I said several years ago, let fifty people be slaughtered in Somalia or Cambodia or Columbia and the world yawns. Let one Palestinian be killed while throwing rocks at Israelis and the world is outraged. As some bright guy once said, "Not everyone who hates Israel is a Jew-hater, but every Jew-hater hates Israel." And the Left has, frankly, never liked or trusted Jews. The Right, except for the far right, pretty much got over that decades ago. Especially the political right. But the political left sees Jews as too supportive of Capitalism, and too 'privileged' in that they get married to have kids, and get their kids educated so do well in society - unlike, say, Blacks.

We didn't shoot them and burn their houses, did we? They didn't want to come here. They wanted to go home.

Jewish civilians started dying at the hands of Muslims an eon ago. There have been very few places where they have had the numbers to fight back.

Surely even you know what a cop-out that is. Maybe you should instead consider that you could be rubbing shoulders with him and some Islamist who wants to impose Sharia law in Canada the next time you're out protesting against Jews on behalf of Hamas.

Has hatred of other minorities skyrocketed? Yes, the world likes good Jews, the ones that die. It really doesn't like the strong Jews that fight back and kill other people. They think like Nazis. They act like Nazis. They speak well of Islamists who are almost identical to Nazis. Like Nazis, these protesters hate Jews. Like Nazis, they want them all to disappear. Like Nazis, they want anyone who disagrees with them punished.
