It is legally. In reality the pockets of Francophones are in Sudbury, Timmons, Ottawa, Toronto, true, but....so what.

Come on Machjo. That is an overstatement. You know French immersion schools prove that wrong . https://www.todaysparent.com/family/should-you-put-your-kids-in-french-immersion/ As well Immigrants prove everyday out of necessity they can and will learn new languages and "do well". They have no choice. Surely your comments would be laughed at by Europeans. You are also well aware if you start children at a young age and expose them to different languages they can learn languages easier, i.e.,https://www.businessinsider.com/learn-a-new-language-2018-4 Sure in later life some of us find it hard if not impossible to learn a new language, conceded, but to say what you did is over-kill. Come on man the majority of the world has to learn more than one language to function particular in the global markets. Je suis né au Québec (Montreal). Je suis un Juif et an un Anglophone, pas "purelaines". J'ai été élevé pour parler les deux langues. Je suis un disciple de les Habs. Jean Beliveau est mon hero. Mon grand-père parlait 12 langues. Lol, Machjo c'est possible de parler Francais et Anglais et Yiddish, Swahili, etc. Rusty Staub parlait Francais.. tu souviens les Expos?

If anyone is looking for a permanent job they say in forever those days are gone. You are not cruel simply stating reality. Reality sucks if you expect to live in a make believe world where nothing changes. The union at GM has dug its head in the sand. Instead of swearing at Fatboy Ford or whining, the idiot running the union should be concentrating on getting his laid off workers the best he can for them retraining benefuts . Unions can be the worst enemy of their workers being so G..d damn reactionary. Many auto workers have moved on and saw the writing on the walls. Others felt they were too old to start again and retired early and now watch their pensions get clawed back. No it aint easy for them or anyone being laid off. Hell working as a self employed I am constantly looking or new contracts and I have learned, do not stress over that which you have no direct control over, take the moment, see what you can have control with and focus on that. It sounds stupid but people get overwhelmed worrying about the future when they should concentrate on the here and now and things they can do and can learn to do not what they won't able to do. Oh hell I wish it were just that easy. I mean that gut anxiety worrying about ever working again is the shitz but its life. It sucks but it is reality unless you are born into a trust fund like our PM or Finance Minister.

How do you hold them responsible? Do you want to arrest people? They haven't broken any criminal laws. You can't sue them civilly. You can't force people to run businesses at a loss.

Sit, breath, the answer is Because their economies are not built up to the extent Canada's is. They would need to develop their economies further to then need people to work. In some third world countries, workers do come in as immigrants when they suddenly need workers.

There have been far more deaths than you report. Its on the internet. I would prefer not to side track this thread on that point. The is there on death rates. Not good. The answer to your seco d question is yes but after a change-over that would take time and encounter problems along the way needing to be addressed. Wind works well on small projects. I concede the large towers built in Ontario are a disaster to the environment. I am talking much smaller versions on roof tops.

With due respect it does Z. A government has to avoid wasting time and bail outs of outmoded industries. That would be bad policy. I don't think clinging to the outmoded car manufacturers makes cents. Time to move on and divest. I do agree with some of your other comments but I contend the auto industry is going through a major transformation and the days of large plants and dealers is coming to an end. He'll China and India now can make plastic cars.

True enough lol.

I have to agree with the last sentence although I of course don't have to like it. As for your first sentence, we could of course debate it Cannuck but I did not say the end of transportation. I am referring to the end of the auto industry as it is now with large manufacturers and car dealerships, i.e., https://www.livemint.com/Opinion/clyW3SWVcVbM6Ej4Jm8pXN/Why-big-auto-is-fast-going-the-way-of-the-dinosaurs.html http://agencia.fapesp.br/automotive-industry-is-undergoing-deeper-changes-than-it-has-for-decades/28198/ The second article above says experts predict that some 70% of all cars produced and sold worldwide will be connected to the internet and that electric cars will account for up to a fifth of the global fleet of cars in circulation. Here from the horse's mouth, the former Chairman of GM: https://qz.com/1122534/former-gm-chairman-bob-lutz-says-the-end-of-the-car-industry-is-near/ and: https://windsorstar.com/business/canadas-auto-industry-could-disappear-within-15-years-says-industry-analyst I don't think its a myth.

Some politicians care because the unemployment will be in their ridings. Logic is not one of your strengths.
-
Its not nonsense. You just don't understand it. The economic status you refer to Canada several decades ago was not in great economic shape. It had serious challenges such as inflation, recession, high unemployment rates. I am getting back to you. Your math is sad. When people die and are replaced it does not necessarily mean an increase. Here try say this slowly. if I take minus 10 and add 10, what is the number Taxme? Think about that. Take all the time you want. You are having problems with it clearly. Speaking about math Canada does not take in hundreds of thousands of legal and illegal refugees each year. Go find the numbers out for yourself. Its easily found don;t just spew shit off your head.

China deliberately letting fentanyl flow to Canada
Rue replied to Argus's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
You are absolutely dead on with this topic. I know directly people in Vancouver enforcement. Dead on. Way high up it goes in the Party and our government when it comes to what is coming in and leaving our borders is past a joke whether it be people, drugs, weapons, intelligence in various technologies being sucked up by China illegally. -
The issue as to how to replace fossil fuel is not addressed with nuclear energy. In fact the future is already here and its not nuclear, its called hydrogen cell technology, that and recycling biodegradable waste into thermal electricity. To say there are serious environmental problems with using nuclear energy as well is an understatement. Start with the process of mining uranium and then move on to the use of plutonium and the contamination both cause to the area around both activities. To pretend it has not or will continue to negatively impact on the entire ecosystem and all life forms in it is ridiculous. We know this contamination last for thousands of years, leaving toxic chemicals in our ecosystems. This is only the beginning affects shown by nuclear energy, there could be many more we have not discovered yet. Every day we see new illnesses and permanent damage emerge. How can anyone not be aware of the disaster in Japan and the permanent death of thousands of square miles of ocean and how that death is spreading as the toxic radiation continues to spread? Was that not enough to explain that there is no such thing as a safe nuclear reactor? What you think there will be no further earth quakes or natural disasters? Let's talk reality: all parts of the nuclear fuel cycle produce s radioactive waste and the cost of managing and disposing of this is not cheap nor is it necessarily effective depending on the stage of nuclear fuel cycle production it is. At each stage of the fuel cycle there are proven technologies to dispose of the radioactive wastes some supposedly safe but only temporarily. Right now waste from the nuclear fuel cycle is categorized as high, medium or low-level by the amount of radiation they emit. Any radiation emission is a problem. Low-level waste is produced at all stages of the fuel cycle. Supposed intermediate-level waste produced during reactor operation, from reprocessing and from decommissioning old plants, is highly toxic. High-level waste, containing fission products from reprocessing, and in many countries, the used fuel itself is killing millions. Replacing one pollution with an even more dangerous one makes no sense. Its part of the denial process of not wanting to change our lifestyle and how we waste energy. We have the technology through hydrogen fuel, solar and wind energy, thermal electricity produced from garbage and hydro electricity to manage ourselves now. David Ben Gurion University invented a self sustaining igloo of a house in the middle of the Negev Desert 40 years ago. In downtown Toronto, they created a totally self sufficient energy producing home. We have the technology. The problem is the large networks of financial interests don't want to give up the fees associated with controlling the production of energy if we became self sufficient. The fact though is we could replace outmoded technologies with new ones but it would mean a change over from who controls the fees derived from energy. If technology leaves that in our individual hands someone will not make the money they are now and that somebody are the very large mega nationals behind the energy industry. I will say it until doomsday, the future is now and it means switching over to wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, and bioenergy as well as developing further hydro electric plants.

GM is dead. The entire model based on auto manufacturing is a dinosaur. Its over. Its time to move on. Denying the inevitable won't change it. Large motor vehicles such as pick up trucks, luxury vehicles, SUV's are part of a dying empire. You can cling to it and resist the inevitable or you change. It is unrealistic to think you can revive GM. A psychiatrist. Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross years ago identified phenomena people go through when they find out they have a terminal illness. The first one is disbelief.." oh know there must be a mistake". The second is shock. The third is bargaining with God to try live longer. The fourth is depression and resignation. The fifth is acceptance. When something like GM being dead is announced people go through the same collective death process. In fact right now the collective reaction is probably a mix of 1, 2 and 3, although Doug Ford made it to stage 4 and 5 in one day. There is no cure for GM in Canada. Imagining there is won't change a thing. Ontario will go through major economic downturn as the auto industry dies out, no different than what is happening in Alberta with its addictive dependence on tar sands oil. You have the two major economic bases of Canada dying. So the question is, does the federal government have the where-with-all to deal with dying industries and identify what it can replace them with? Certainly not this government. Its run my an elitist who lived in a bubble his whole life and has never worked. He assumes he will always have a trust fund and government pensions to look after him. He doesn't understand the stress of wondering, how does he feed his family. His brain grasps things like lecturing people to be feminist not getting women jobs. He lives in a world of privilege theory where he lectures others to be like him. Rich boys don't usher in changes or revolutions, they cause them.

It's what you don't get, ever. The Conference Board of Canada has found that immigration levels should increase to 413,000 per year by 2030 to strengthen Canada’s economic growth. The report stated there is a need for increased immigration in order to respond to challenges posed by Canada’s aging population. If the population does not grow to replace those dying which will require people to replace those dying, the costs required to support retirees will undermine the strength of Canada’s economy as the years go on. We need to replace those citizens not paying into the tax pool that runs the world you take for granted and that is why there is immigration. The need for immigration is not the issue-the manner in which we select immigrants is.

Sorry Boges has it right. GM was not making products in Oshawa any consumer was buying. Way back when none of you were born Canada had a choice. We could have chosen to go witho our own car industry and compete toe to toe with the US. Instead we entered in a deal with them to prevent competition between us. In return they agreed to put car plants in Canada and we chose to get car plants that made the BIGGEST vehicles, i.e., trucks, luxury vehicles, thinking it would make us more money. We did not forecast that eventually these cars and trucks with increasing fuel prices would become unpopuiar. We also did not properly forecast the market and impending competitors who would catch up to us and surpass as in quality, technology and pricing based on arrogance. Did the unions cost competition with high wages. To an extent but the real lack of competition came from refusing to advance technology as was done in Japan, South Korea, because of our arrogance. Now the market place changed and we like dinosaurs would not change our diet. GM has produced inferior vehicles for over 20 years. Most consumers know this. If nothing else transmissions crack after 200 thou k's and service of vehicles is a nightmare while Japanse and South Korean products outperform, last and have far better service. We chose to be dependent on the US and GM. Now we suffer and Ford and Chrysler are having the same issues. Being able to put together such vehicles with cheaper labour in Mexico and buy out a Japanese brand name like Mazda as Ford did only stalls the inevitable. GM is a dying dinosaur. It has uninspired leadership and spews out crap. I think its unrealistic to think you can change GM anymore than you can turn Richard Simmons straight or turn Paris Hilton into a virgin. It aint happening.

I am glad you think so. Problem is the enforcement agency you expect to protect you is poor and may not think so. They might turn on you. Careful now. You might want to watch Al Pacino in Scarface again. Say hello to my little friend. I mean that kind of lifestyle catches up. Excuse me I must go back to the slums with my peons. I am going to suck on some kind of bone for dinner. Tastes like someone rich.

I support pagan worship of you. I would hold a rally but my wife would get upset.

Here is what we are talking about Ghost, the idiotic shrinking map: http://zionism-israel.com/ezine/Paletstinian_Land_Loss.htm https://www.economist.com/democracy-in-america/2010/03/14/this-map-is-not-the-territories https://jewsdownunder.com/2015/08/02/countering-shrinking-palestine-maps-lie/ http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2012/07/debunking-map-that-lies.html It has been debunked on this and on many other forums over and over and yet its raised as if it is something new and factual. As for Eye's opinions, its good in addition to Taxme, you are on this forum to speak for him as well as millions. I mean he sure does need your intervention.

I don't wear brown shirts, black shirts, and thanks I clean my own clothes. I have no servants. I must be a communist.

Seems to me the definition of asshole is ambiguous. That could easily describe any human. You might need to be more specific.

I do not, I refer to their positions from past and present posts.

No need. Its not part of my lifestyle. May I also say you do a good job of shoving things in your mouth on your own. You are a natural at it when it comes to discussions about Jewish history and Israel.
