What are you talking about? He's right. All the close US dollar has allowed us to do is buy more stuff of ebay. Not just me, but people at work and my fiances work. I mean.. i TRY to buy stuff here in Canada, but these stores are still playing the 40% markup game thinking that that it's 2001 or something. So, I got my golf club in the US. I got my new camera in the US. I should be paying the same price here in Canada or a bit more.. but hell not 40-50% more! I tried to order some music stuff from zzsounds.com and he told me that they don't ship to Canada. So I asked for fun 'how much people call from Canada?' he's like 'a lot. about 10 calls a day'. THis kind of sending money OUT of the country is very detremental to our economy. The only way to stop this is for the stores to LOWER PRICES and keep these dollars in Canada. But Canadians don't understand the word 'competition' or 'do what's right for the customer'. The Canadian culture is very much like Russias: 'Let me see how I can get one over on ya and screw ya' The latter is our famous 'self hatred'.

"I completed my Advanced Diploma in Manufacturing Engineering Technology in Canada in 2005 and a BS in Mechanical Engineering Technology in the United States in 2006. Being a Canadian Citizen by naturalization, I decided to move to Alberta since last year because of the "Economic Boom" after doing farm work in Ontario for the last six years. But yet as the discrimination continues, I'm having difficulty in getting proper employment till date for being an immigrant and a "black" - double disadvantaged isn't it? and I doubt whether this nation is based on discriminatory practices that I see around." Lol! Yet another peson moving to Alberta who is 'highly qualified' and can't find work. Could it be.... could it be............... That there is no real white collar job boom in Alberta and 75% of the jobs created are part time? GEE COULD THAT BE IT???

You become more Liberal each day. Good vote in your party and when you get laid off in Calgary becuase they are stopping the discovery in the oil sands, and you have to get hired for less doing accounting grunt work, THEN maybe you'll get more conservative in your view points. Dont' try to prop India up like it's so great. You think your co-workers are all cultured and cool.. you know what, i just want Canada to land every immigrant that we get re-uniting with their family over there in Calgary. You will see the city change in 1 year when 200,000 people flood into that tiny city.

Oh here we go with the Lin stuff. It's the obortion clinics fault, it's the dowrys faul, but it's not the fault of the people dont it. And social engineering doesn't work on immigrants by the way. It works on dumb Canadian muggles and Liberals, but not immigrants. They don't give a damn what we have to say. (as you know who on the forum has displayed many times) The fact is, dowry has been outlawed in india for YEARS. I'm talking 30 years. Killing babies has been outlawed for YEARS. The cast system has been outlawed for YEARS. But the culture is WAY stronger than the laws they pass. The Sikh's are supposed to be anti-cast system. It's the basis of their religion.. well.. one of them. And the *worst* culprits of the cast system and arranged marriages are the Sikhs. Sikh's are supposed to be vegetarian. They are known for eating meat. Sikh's are not supposed to drink. They are known to be the drunkards of India. The people will eventually decide their own culture and what they want to do. I'm suggesting we keep that off our soil. We do not need to throw money at it, we do not need to study it, and we CERTAINLY don't need to try to 'educate' them. Let india handle that. What we need is 'if you do not have an employer sponsoring you into Canada, you need not apply'. That's what should now be on our Citizenship and Immigration website. Then you'll see about 20,000 laborers coming in each year from Mexico, Brasil, Potrigaul, and these problems that we're talking about now will be a thing of the past. This is is how you solve this problem.

(did someone fix the quoting?) There should be an intervention imposed. It has to do with letting people come to Canada only when there is a job lined up for them. What is happening now is family sponsorship and basically anyone coming here. Killing babies is illegal in India and has been for some time. But it is still done. It is done mostly by the poor, illiterate families who don't want to pay dowry. I'm suggesting that these very same people are now in Canada. Too many people over too many years. The question must be begged why this is not a problem anywhere else in the world but here? The reason is becuase we now have ethnic settlements in Canada. These are not enclaves, these are not ghettos, these are settlements. 70% of people coming are sponsored in by family. Those who are sponsored in will then responsor and the cycle continues until you reach the lowest denominator. We are now reaching the lowest denominators and killings of babies based of gender is happenning. One thing we *can* say for sure is that these people, althrough very socially conservative and anti-tax, support the Liberal Party Of Canada because it is that party which set up this system and let them get away with what they have all these years. It's a nice trade off, these people keep a corrupt party in the commons, while in exchange, they continue to bring over their relatives and continue their cycle. Now, our gov't has to pander to these people or they will not get enough votes to win a majority gov't which is why the cycle is continuing. The cycle continues like this becuase we have a Parlementary system which is not fitting for Canada. Eventually, our system will lead minorities to into majorities and our Canada will crumble while other parts of the world soars in prosparity. Canada will be desperate and will sell of portions of it's land to other countries where they will become territories. All the execuses of trade and BS will be there. And what territories will become India? Ah yes, The same territorry where people are looking to get ultrasounds faster so they can kill their female fetus.

I agree. I love the way everyone turns this into an abortion issue. Argus, naturally, proves supriour over most of the posters understanding the real issues at hand. There are 2 issues: 1 - The disregard of having a baby based of its gender. 2 - The fact that probelms specific to other countries are now becoming problems here. People in India who bury bubies becuase of their gender are the lower class trash of the country. People in Jamaica who murder are the lower class trash of the country. We have both in Canada now and we are suffering the consequences. These issues are not a problem in the US but are present here. Now we have to ask ourselves why this is. But we all know the answer already.

Actually it is comparing a Red Delicious to Macintosh's to be honest. Sponsorship in Canada, sign and show income status that guarantees that for the bnest ten years , YOU (the sponsor) will provide housing, rent, food ,income, services for your sponsored family member, and not to avail themselves of social services. Quit ignoring the facts that have been shown to you numerous times. Stop making stuff up. Canadian citizens and permanent residents living in Canada, 18 years of age or older, may sponsor close relatives or family members who want to become permanent residents of Canada. Sponsors must promise to support the relative or family member and their accompanying family members for a period of three years to help them settle in Canada. If you live in Quebec and want to sponsor a relative or family member, please contact Newcombe & Company for information on the necessary steps to meet provincial requirements. The Canada-Quebec Accord provides information on Quebec's responsibilities for immigration. You can sponsor relatives or family members from abroad if they are: *spouses, common-law or conjugal partners 16 years of age or older; *parents and grandparents (YES YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!); *dependent children, including adopted children; *children under 18 years of age whom you intend to adopt; *children under guardianship; *brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces or grandchildren who are orphans; under the age of 18 and not married or in a common-law relationship; or *you may also sponsor one relative of any age if you do not have a family member from the list above. A son or daughter is dependent when the child: *is under the age of 22(?????) and does not have a spouse or common-law partner; *is a full time student, became a full-time student before the age of 22, and is substantially dependent on a parent for financial support, or, if married (and under the age of 22), became a full-time student before becoming married or common-law; or *is aged 22 or over, is financially dependent on a parent due to a disability, and became disabled before the age of 22. Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class You may also sponsor a spouse or common-law partner from within Canada if they have been living with you in Canada and have maintained their legal temporary status. Sponsorship of a spouse or common-law partner includes their dependent children whether inside or outside of Canada. You must promise to make every effort to become self-supporting (unless you are elderly.) Adopting a Child From Another Country To adopt a child from another country you must go through both the adoption process and the sponsorship and immigration process.

Microsoft outsources the cleaning staff. Microsoft loves to outsource its support services or anybody that might be 'laid off'. That's what they do. And yes, their cleaning staff as well as cafeteria staff are all outsourced. The Sales and Development are all full time employees.

Lol! That post was a classic. That's what their culture tries to potray and WANT you to think. So does the CBC.See the post above. The CBC is not running my "eyes" when I'm out and about in the capital of the world and former capital of the United States New York City. But that's the US. You know as well as I do that the US has an immigartion policy and you just can't walse in with no job lined up. Even if you sponsor in an Elder you have to put up a bounty and they aren't allowed to use services at all. (ie medicare) and that's why sponsorship is so low in the US unlike Canada. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

And many in the US are there under business class immigration. But how about you let 1% of your population into New York each year and span that over 20 years and see how you like it. The US has an immigration policy. A survey done by Indo Americans in the last election actually showed support for President Bush. The US does not mirror the problems we have here by a long shot. Not even close.

I agree. Harper and Campell are the best of the bunch. AND THAT AINT SAYING MUCH.

Is that the same Mulroney who gave us the GST? The same Mulroney who litterally shut down Canadian small business to American franchise? The same Mulroney who screwed over one of his business partners and now ows him $300,000? The Same Mulroney who who might have _____ with Belinda? Oh just to let you know, I ordered some stuff from ebay. I STILL HAD TO PAY TERRIFS AND TAXES.

You think you heard it all? You are still in denial that the third world is colonizing to Canada? You still think everything is hunky-dory? "You are told the sex (of the baby) immediately." "Advertisements for ultrasound clinics that appear in Canadian Punjabi newspapers are promoting the abortion of female fetuses, charges the head of an immigrant society in Surrey." "Andrea Mrozek, of the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada, says a study last year shows an unnatural boy-girl ratio in Surrey where many Lower Mainland Indo-Canadian families live." http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/...efoeticide.html Even I was suprised when I heard this on the CBC today! (for those who don't know, In India, if you have a boy, the girl who marries you has to pay you a sum of money to your family so they can marry into it.) What is happening is street trash is coming into Canada who are not here to work and BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT HAVE A FC(*&(ING IMMIGRATION POLICY AS I'VE BEEN SAYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR 2 YEARS NOW! Come on Guyser, even you have to admit this has gone too far.

Well I would say your legal choices are to change anything are fairly limited. Even if you could change things I see precious little support for your position from other "majority White English speaking Canadian Canadians". So I guess you are on your own buddy. I support him 110%. A second-gen "Persian-Canadian" girl at work also supports him. (She converted to Orthodox christianity from Islam so she could get married). She wont tell anyone becuase she fears for her life.

If I respond then this will become a biblical thread where we have 200 posts of us posting back and forther bible quotes to prove each other right and have 4 Dr's on the forum discussing in 2 posts their points becuase the response limit has been exceeded. (very inside joke for those in the know) I was making direct quotes about Isreal. You did not.

I always wondered how bloated the CBC is. They get a billion bucks on top of their advertising. And they just break even. EDIT: By the way, that is 25% over CanWest's entire revenue, in pure cash. Survey says that like 75% of Canadians would like continued funding of the CBC or higher levels of funding. I hate the CBC with a passion. Why is it that this many people in Canada support the CBC? Ah i know.. the muggles think that if they lose funding, they wont be around anymore. That's not true of course, but since we cannot vote in propositions in Canada, the public will never become aware of this fact.

Lol! That post was a classic. That's what their culture tries to potray and WANT you to think. So does the CBC.

Ah yes. For instance, taxi drivers are not doctors. That's a media spun myth. Westerners are close minded and racists. That's another media spun myth. The west are the most cosmopolitan people on earth that appreciate other cultures. I ordered what I thought was a professional condenser microphone. I got gyped (it was a Sony product) and the output is to low for myself and my guest. We're going to look at getting a tube amp pre-out and see if that helps the audio and then make a podcast on these topics.

The above post is completely false. The USA is the modern innovator of the world. Whether it's the satellite your watching, the medication you are getting, or the power you are using. The US is the innovating part of the world. And no, India has NOTHING to do with development of the software i'm using. I worked at MS myself. All the dev is done in the US (with some rare exceptions to China). The Indians ahve a couple of very small buildings in and work phone support with horrid survey results most of the time. Edit: Now the *MOUSE* you are clicking on very well may have been designed in Korea or Singapore and assembled in China. India has *nothing* to do with any technology or inivation. Let it go. They are cultural stoneaged people.

Do you agree with our politicians getting involved and pandering for votes at religious instatutions? Do you agree with public funding to these institutions becuase they have a 'museum' in it? Do you agree that people should be allowed to come here when they have no job lined up?

I worked for the Department of National Defense in Ottawa (becuase i grew up there my whole life before moving to torontostan. I will say that out of about a dozen people, there was 2 people that were needed on our team. Almost everything anyone did in the building was a make work project including my own work. I can sit and tell you stories and you wouldn't believe it. I call gov't work white collar welfare becuase honestly that's what it was.

Exactly. People should pay attention to StottSA. He has the gift of being able to see things for what they really are. It's not about the craftsmentship of the temple, it's what it represents. The slave labor that carved those stones, the cast system that holds back the whole country. And the day will come that this temple can be a target of an attack. All is possible. The 3rd world is here. The temple represents the 3rd world and now our political system is involved. I don't believe for 2 seconds that this temple was privately funded. I ran the numbers from hindu's in the west and the numbers simply don't add up. The funding was made from an interest that wanted to have this temple in Canada. There will also be a massive mosque being built and the 3rd world continues to colonize us. You know what's interesting actually, the Chinese used to be very similar to India where they had stoneage culture ruining the country. The communist took over for a reason and then banned these religious practices and forced people to work. Now they Chinese are how they are. But at one time, they were still in the stoneage. Only when the chinese worked, they moved forward as a nation. South Asians seem to be allergic to work in my opinion. Culture and race rule in south asia and in UK and Canada. It's just their way of life. They are very backwards, very close minded, very provincial minded. Very, very xenephobic people IMO.

I'm impressed.Given their extreme anger and violence, I'm surprised you survived the visit. Pre-Holocaust, the Jews did not hit back. We know the results. Never again. Wow this is amazing. I completley agree and feel more strongly than ever on this. I stand with Israel. Christians should stand with Isreal. Harper Stands with Isreal which makes me proud. Here's why. Guyser? Jefferiah? Geoffry?

Ok what you just said is ideoligy. Don't you see? This is the problem. This is not ideoligy

Pre-Holocaust, the Jews did not hit back. We know the results. Never again. Wow this is amazing. I completley agree and feel more strongly than ever on this. I stand with Israel.
