Wow I didn't know that. Imagine how our political landscape would change if they were not allowed to vote. I completely agree.

And this is the sole, core reason I am against immigration. The reason those wages are so low is because of immigration and over saturation of our labor markets which prevents her from moving up or getting paid more for the same work. This is the crux of my argument.

From 2006 when I used to be more active in posting cites. I don't bother posting them these days because I've already done so in the past. I mean honestly Melenie, do you really thing our joke of a gov't is goign to properly run and fund a national day care system? Like seriously. We can't run an inquiry, we can't run a healtchare system, we can't settle a native claim, we can't even controll our own RCMP. YOU HONEST THINK we're going to have some functioning national daycare for the world?? (becuase it wont be for Canadians, it will be for 40-50% immigrants who have never paid into the system). Look if you have kids and work or go to school, I don't mind giving you $20-$30 a day to spend it no your own. Do as you like. But what we do NOT need, is we do not need gov't supervision, gov't regulation, daycare certifications, daycare inspectors, daycare training, daycare food inspectors, daycare health and activity specialists, and as mentioned by the teachers union in 1995, we do not need a national daycare workers union which will destroy us. .. and oh yes. We don't need any ethnic daycares either. Don't you see, we'll get stuck in burochracy and then suprise suprise, there will be waiting lists and by the time you get a daycare spot, the kids will be too old for daycare and we'll all be taxed to death paying for daycare workers to make $50,000 a year with full benefits. Gov't in Canada has gotten WAY, WAY too big. The last thing we need is a new national boondongle or civil servants and new departments. Let the private industry open up spots and you can put your child where you choose. Yes there is room for fraud and abuse, but that number pales in comparison to the amount a burochracy in Canada cost the average tax payer. You want the money fine, but after that you're on your own. Don't look at the gov't to be in the dayrcare business.

Well what is going to happen is what is happening already in certain neighbourhoods. That hospital will be known as the 'brown hospital' and everyone else will stay away because they have taken it over. You wouldn't want to go there because of the poor staffing and poor quality of care. Just like you don't want to move into a neighbourhood with these people because you will bare whitness to them in packs of 8 walking in the middle of the street while their indian outfits blow in the wind and they litter all over the place. 10 minivans in each driveay, 2 families per address. These neighbourhoods were not meant to be lived in this way. People aren't going to want to go to a tax vacuum that has signs, staff, and food of other cultures. Look at it for what it is, a race and culture for the first time is attempting to take over a Canadian hospital.

Stop spreading lies. They did not raise 10 million. They raised a bit over 3 million. They got the Emergency room name and Sikh panel at $500,000. 0.5% In total donations is a joke and the Sikh's are NOT a majority in Brampton. They are the 3rd largest religion in the area. They are a MINORITY peoples in the city of Brampton. That hospital has to serve the whole Peel region up to hudson bay. I don't know where this self hating sickness of you guys come from. You actually encourage the exploitatoin and corruptoin of our own hospitals by outsiders who do not identify themselves as Canadians, nor do they contribute at all or pay taxes for the most part in order to cover their medical expensise. They lie on their papers, they get their sick ailing relatives over who can't speak English, are xenephobic, and COMPLETELY, 100%, RACIST to the bone, and the self haters here on the forum say good for them! Let them take over our hospitals and tailor make their own medical services to suit their south asian race. The Sikhs who worked their way into that hospital and our immigration system are doing nothing but slapping you in the face and laughing at you. The day we ever move to a work permit system, all this sht is going to end and me posting topics like this will be a thing of the past. You guys are self haters becuase you like the feeling of being slapped accross the face. It's addictive to you. Just like a bad mother who constantly insults their children becuase they find a comfort in making sure their kids are hurt and turn out bad. You have the same attitude towards our country.

"I won't lie. That (name) was a huge push for our campaign," said Ramandeep Grewal, a lawyer who is among those spearheading the Canadian Sikh Subcommittee. They've recommended the new hospital offer Indian vegetarian meals, Punjabi and Hindi language translation and signage, larger family waiting areas, as well as expanded treatment areas for cardiac care, nephrology and diabetes, as these diseases are more prevalent among South Asians. http://www.thestar.com/News/article/177806 (Article written by Prithi Yelaja. She got hired in the media for the sole reason she's ethnic and south asian. This was at the expensive of a Canadian. No serious jouranlist in this profession does this: http://www.journalism.ubc.ca/thunderbird/a...01/evenson.html "After discovering that reporter Prithi Yelaja had plagiarized parts of a story from the Village Voice newspaper, the Star fully admitted what Yelaja had done" Back to the topic, Basically what happened is that this: -Hospital was in the planning stage for 20 years. -The actual build started a few years back. -The hospital cost $500 million to build. -30% of the totals monies raised with through donations of various sorts. -Sikhs raised $500,000 through a sold contributor and then joined then formed a South Asian comitee for the hospital planning stages. -The Sikh commitee then marketed the name to get other Sikh's interested in a plot to take over the hospital and make it their own. -They succeeded and now have a comitte. The Sikhs contribute 0.5% of the total hospital and then get a special commitee, a council, and get the emergency dept named after the founder of their religion. There were nurse complains that they were only hiring people who speak hindi and punjabi. This is from callers to the CBC and very well buried news stories. The third world way of doing things are coming to Canada. People who are well to do are bribing their way into our gov't systems to exploit them for cultural reasons. I wouldn't care if this was a private hospital, but this is our hospital. All of ours. It doesn't belong to them. A hospital should never be tailored to cultural desires. They rasied 0.5% of the total cost and are a fraction of the 30% raised by real fundraising efforts by everyone and have now through a minority of the city of Brampton, and through the fundraising dictated onto the majority. South Asians have laid claim to the hospital both inside and outside of the facility. Here this morning CBC show. You honestly have to hear this to believe it. EVEN THE CBC HOST HAS TROUBLE WITH ALL THIS! She also gets caught in MANY lies on her interview. New Hospital Andy Barrie spoke with Ramandeep Grewal. She is on the hospital's board of directors and was involved in the fundraising. Listen. (Runs 6:30)

I agree. That was one of the dumbest thing I've ever heard a political leader say (beside funding of 'faith based schools').

Yup.

Are you kidding? The 1% GST saves my household about $350 a year. Take your gross household for the year, divide by 4, then multiply by .01. That's how much money your household saves per year with the GST cut. Another 1% will save me double. The sales tax is increadibly important and should be obolished. Same with corporate taxes.

I agree. People don't know just how devistating these taxes are.

What? He's paying his taxes, THROUGH our taxes.

Ah yes. Peter thinks to himself: 'I didn't know that. Has the media and hype machines been lying to me all this time?' Anyone who thinks Arar was just blindly deported to Syria with no reason at all is lying. He even co-operated with Syrian officials when he was there. His torture claim is just that: a claim. A claim that got him out of jail. He was being detained to his self admitted ties with the Islamic Brotherhood. Of course, that CTV transcript is buried far beneath the internet.

Sure it was.

Reading the title, you forget to realize that you know the country is in good shape when... (not the store being open, but the fact that it's a topic)

A lot of the dept's are closed at night. The shopping isn't good at all. The stores feel closed down when you go in at night.

The fact that I live on planet Earth is not as important to the fact that I live in Canada which is a country with border, laws, and policies.. such as our immigration policy.

http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2007/10/2...n-statscan.html They can't use the race card anymore! -Second Generation Visible Minority Women doing BETTER than Canadian women. -Second Generation Visible Minority Men doing WORSE than all other non visible minority men, regardless of where their parents were born. They believe this is so because women are living in cities and have more education and have kids less quickly and marry less then 'whities', a term used by south asians to describe Canadians. Here is my take. And I have very first hand experience with the target age group for many years. Most being my friends so I believe I can speak on this. Without a doubt, the women are little 'goodies' and do what their parents tell them and finish school. They also explore more and integrate in a little bit better then their brothers. They are not men. Women don't have the hate and debate instinct that men have. So they are more apt to get out there and find a life for themselves. A selfish, little life or toying with men, and self promoting themselves, and making Daddy happy. Just don't expect YOURESELF to be part of it because privately you are not welcome in their family despite how they act at work. Why aren't the men doing good? That's easy. They are spoiled brat mama boys with no work ethic. They aren't real men. They get lunches packed for them at 30 years old. These girls always turn around and marry these men who are useless and are busy each day playing with cel phones, WoW, dreaming up business ideas, and constantly talking about school and other sht that isn't real and doesn't result in work. Yes this goes for CBC (Canadian Born Chinese) men too. I don't care the car they drive, how clean their running shoes are, how slicked their hair is, and how many times they've been to vegas. They are scrubs. they like to hang out and talk the talk, they like the free laundry and food, but not work. You won't catch a Polish/Ukranian/Russian kid doing the same thing.

Hehehe.. I meant in the context of the work collegues I've had (and have now) that they gel together with us and you can't tell the difference. The Americans are 'smarter' and more logical though overall. Harder workers too. Working with Pakistani's proved to be a cultural nightmare. I'm serious. Quar'an at desks, complaints to HR, acusations of racism, twisiting everything into a cultral issue. Pot Lucks being impossible due to dietary issues of various team members. 6 hr long debates of Isreal vs. Palistine. Urine all over the place. Toilet paper everywhere. And the damn fasting. Everyones breath STINKING REAL BAD. All i'd have to hear about all month is how they are fasting. It's like BUDDY, YOU JUST ATE A 4 COURSE MEAL BEFORE SUNRISE. Eventually we lost the contract because too many of 'them' joined our team and our numbers sank. Americans? No problem. You don't even realize they are American sometimes. You just see them as part of the team. Thank God those days are over and I will never work at a large company again.

Ah yes.. the truth of what really happened slowely starts to appear here on the forum. Arar is an undesireable in Canada. It was widely agreed upon on another form that he should be deported immediatly.

That's because of plagerism and 'ease of use' IMO. Not becuase the information is all false. University loves to play the old game of making assignements a wich hunt of finding a difficult to find paragraph in the back of some textbook. A texbook written by a friend or collegue of the professor, of course.

I clicked around those links and such and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index The index claims that Canada is *more* democratic than the USA which is rediculous to say the least. India may also be democratic as the site claims, but you can also be democratic AND politically broken at the same time. Canada is non democratic AND politically broken just like India.

Oh yes that's right I forgot that. So he's a multi-millionaire now from our tax dollars in order to help Stephen Harpers political career. He'll work on sponsoring more of his family over and sueing the US for more millions. Man.. moving to Canada must be the best gift his Dad ever gave him. We're all the suckers.

And most of it probably went to Arar's legal team. His HUGE legal team. A couple of million doens't take you far these days. That gives you $80,000 a year gross with 4% return not including taxes. He doesn't believe in work so he's dumb enough to blow it all in one place. The money is in suing the US and Arar knows this. His legal team knows this too.

People forget when Arar was in his home country Syria (which he is a citizen) he turned tail and ratted out his friends in the 'Islamic Brotherhood' which is a terrorist organization that he had ties to. He admitted this on a CTV interview and is online in the transcript. The Syrian officials said he was being co-operative. People forget that on 6 different visits by the officials he said he was being treated well. It's believed he was told to say he was tortured so that he could get out sooner. The documented that there were NO SIGNS of torture or mentally visible signs of torture. People forget that the RCMP was following him BEFORE 9-11 and had survelance on him. People forget how Syria knew through their OWN intelligence who him and his friends in Ottawa were and connections they had to these terrorist organizations. The life in Syria is laid back and Tuscan. There are Christian populations there, alchohol for sale, and is not an extremist country like Sudan, Afghanistan, or Pakistan. Everyone there talks about poltics. Here is a pic of life in Syria on any given night: http://p.vtourist.com/1938403-Nightlife-Damascus.jpg Syrians are not peasants in the world of Islam like Samoli's or Pakistanis are, they are very fair skin, speak Arabic, and are amogst the top of the Islamic cast system. They aren't the type to roll over. They will screw you, lie, and make you pay if they feel they can get a chance and get their hands on some money. That's all Arar is doing. If he was a Pakistani, he would be playing poltics and only asking for an 'appology' and would have his Pakistani leaders speaking for him for political gain. Arar is not that type or breed in the Islamic world. Neither are the Iranians. They will lie, cheat, steal and come after you for riches (IMO). They aren't dumb.

Harper did many things to make certain problems 'go away'. -Quebec as distinct nation to not attatch that stigma to his party. -Chinese head tax to shut that group up. -Arar $10m to not make his party like anti-islamic. Arar has nothing but claims. He has no evidence, no case, and oh yea.. no job.
