I hate that little punk and his Dad. I hope he moves far away and never comes back.

Lol. The numbers you posted are highly missleading and you know it. I proved previously that about 70% of immigrants are sponsored. Of those who are skilled, about half even work. I also proved that they used more social services and healthcare then the average Canadian. You sit in montreal and see your multi-cultural society and like it. You don't know real ghettoization. Come to Toronto and see the majority of Canada. When I go to Montreal (i'll be there in 2 weeks), I think 'wow look at all the white people'. And those immigrants that are there, are much, much more well integrated. But you don't hold a candlstick to Vancouver and Southern Ontario as far as immigrants and ghettozation go. So you really don't live in a ghettoized society.

That's the whole issues. It's not 'our' society anymore. It belongs to cultural special interest groups. 20 million dollars of Ontario's hard earned tax dollars got sent to immigrant groups that have 'ties to the Liberal party' while other groups did not get money. This is in the news here in Ontario. The Liberals voted down a motion to have an inquiry. This is not our society. our society is about promoting stone-age idealism and culture which heavily relies on xenephobia, religion, and racsism. If I had a dime for each time a first/second-gen south asian said the phrase "white girls are whores' i'd probably be rich. They think very, very lowely of Canadians for the most part and the net share of these groups have saturated our own culture to the point where we are not even allowed to say that it's 'our society' anymore. It now belongs to them. They will decide what their society is. We just sit on the outside, bend over, and continue to fund them while looking on from the outside - never allowed in. One day we realize that we don't have a culture anymore. Yes this thinking is the big thing in France and Europe these days. I'm suprised here in Canada we're still lagging behind and discussing whether ghettoziation is a good thing. It's not difficult to challenge at all. About half of those coming here still aren't working after 5 years. They simply aren't here to partake in our workforce. This is why the US has a good policy and ours is bad. For all the immigrants coming here who have never paid into the system and are already collecting tons of benefits?

I completely agree. The melting pot method has proven to work. Cultural segregation has never proven to work - it only leeds to problems. Putting a name on it is still segragation. It's a failed experminent.

Let's see the full times jobs first then we can let people over on work permits to work our low wage jobs.

The Liberals wanted to increase immigration to 800,000 a year before they were elected out of office. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but Canada has a high natinoal unemployment rate. We should not be letting people in the country - escpecially when 70% of them are through family sponsorship and even out of the skilled workers about half of them are actually working within their first year of being here. Our system is meant to get votes for the Liberal party of Canada - nothing more.

Yes that's already known. 2025 will be the date. That is false and proven false. Immigrants vote for parties that can 'get in' their relatives. Nothing else. They don't care for the most part to 'participate' and their votes are much different the meaning of your vote and mine. Yes many of the them are conservative in the home, But this comes with xenephobia and sheer racism which I have been a victim of many times. I'm not talking about Lib, loser, CBC lefty racism which is not racism: I'm talking about sheer, pure, real racism.

Well I'm not making that much but i'm in the ballpark. I'm working on some amazing things regarding with some national chain retailers that everyone here has come in contact with. I was also thinking about going into consulting. To be honest, you can hire book schooled immigrats all you like and admire their spelling and grammar. A person like me goes into consulting becuase they are consistantly far beyond the skill level of their fellow employees. Where I work, communication is no longer an issue. Basic, Basic, 'Did you happen to find out if...' sentences don't have to be dumbed down and explained 4 times over (no joke). Simple, basic taks like 'Can you get the print outs' are understood the first time. Back and forth emails and understood the first time and my time isn't wasted. The few people I work with a smart, decent people with skill and intelligence; not 'eye's in the headlights' stares and confused looks on their faces. But go hire them over me. Everyone else does. See, We actually are looking to get a head hunter in Alberta and other provinces to find regional sales reps/account managers (high paid ones). I'm not joking either. We are *not* looking for a head hunter like you who will bring us people with no basic communication skills who are easily impressed by paper qualifications. You have too much of the 'Canadian' hire practices in you which is a shame becuase as a head hunter it brings you down to that gutter. I rented a basement for a while from a Pakistani. He was a 'transit planner' for the city of Toronto (meaning he got paid $75k or so - don't beleive go look up how much the city jobs pay). Let's put it this way. If I had to pick August1991 or my old landlord to submit a transit plan in 3 months where the official plan would be reviewed by a panel of experts, I would place my bets on August1991 even though he's not officially trained as a transit planner. I would pick him becuase he can speak English, is smart, and has basic North American though processes. That is how big the gap is between him and the Pakistani guy. There's almost no comparison. When the Pakistani guy had to program his satellite box, he was completely clueless. It's like dude, your an engineer making all this money, you have owned satellite for YEARS, and you are so dumb you don't know how to enter keys or flash firmware on your own satellite box. So there I sat in his basement apt. flashing his firmware and updating his keyes even though I never touched a box before in my life. He didn't have the basic, basic life skill of researching information and applying it to a real situation. He couldn't comprehend the English and complexity of the task, yet he's planning Toronto's transit situation. Oh but he's really good at passing those university exams and getting people like you to hire him!

Well Mikedavid00 you have managed to get another big round of responses. Where have you been the last few months? Did you find work? Things getting better for you? Where you in Russia lately? Yes I found work and have been very busy lately so I've not been able to post. When life get's better for youself, you forget look at everything through a rose coloured glass and think things aren't so bad. Well not me. I still know that if this job falls through or the company goes under I'm still screwed and there's nohting out there. I feel our economy is the worst it's ever been. House pricing to income ratio is just unreal. People struggling to survive. Looting of public funds by our elected officials and crown corp's. Canada is in a state of degredation. Almost all of this is due to the careless, mass immigration of the last 10 years.

This is a good sign when we've gone from talking about theft of millions of dollars from us taxpayers to who is paying for a makeup artist. Harper is the PM of a G8 nation for God's sake. He deserves to have his wardrobe, limo's and hair and makeup paid for becuase he is a public figure. This was just a grasp at a straw by a left wing journalist. Pathetic at that.

What a stupid argument. You believe in tougher laws for people who use firearms in crimes. Our prison system is overburden already, so we're going to make them all live with you. Lol. Our PRISON system is OVERBURDENED?? LOL!!! OUR IMMIGRATION, HEALTHCARE, HOUSING, INFASTRUCTURE, AND WELFARE STATE IS OVERBURDENED!!! LOL!!!!!!!

I had an old boss who used to say "the only way to show people in charge that something doesn't work is to actually try to do it and prove to them that it doesn't work. She was right. That's all that's happening here. We'll try to meet the bs targets which are not possible and people will realize that.. well.. it just isn't possible. It's a good political move in a minority gov't and something that I would have done if I wanted to gain majority. To meet these targets other motions have to be passed which probably wont and there won't be much media spin when that happens. Poll's at that time wont' be affected. I have to hand it to Harper for trying to win the majority. He hasnt' touched immigration, has pretended to clean the environment (our already clean one I might add), and he basically hasn't created major headlines as of late. But this all goes to show that our Parlimentary system of power simply does not work for Canada. We need to give power back to the provinces and descisions to the people. Instead we are playing these sorts of games with polling, Quebec, and the CBC. When is enough, enough?

I completely agree. That deserves to be in a signature. I sometimes reference the term 'self hatred'. This is what i'm talking about.

We already do that every day.

Yeah it sounds like you actually know what goes on in other cultures and in the rest of the world. The most racist, xenephobic people in Canada are the people that our gov't lets into the country. The sad fact is, the people on this very forum who are pro-stonage, are the ones who look at these people as 'little colored people'. They see immigration as a 'bowl of beef pho'. Or a 'jerk chicken on corn bread' becuase their head is so in the sand. Life in Canada is rough and poverty stricken. Similar to Russia; apartments everywhere, people living check to check, quiet unrest, corrupt gov't looting public funds, policital pay-off's, self hatred.. it's Canada. I challenge them to go to our hospitals, enrole in a University, or buy a home and see how far they get.

You don't get it. People who enter the US (for the most part) are *desireables* who are not allowed to use public healthcare and must be fully employed - sponsored in by company or attending a school. Thereafter they will be kicked out after two work permit terms where they will usually come to Canada to take the few presious jobs that we do have away from Canadians and drive down our skilled labor market and sponsor in their relatives. I dislike the American rejects the most becuase they always have killer qualifications and excellent work experience. This ensures that a Canadian will lose their job to him. We need to look after the potential Canadian candidate's life and dreams, not that of a globe trotting oppertunist. You don't fill out an application and just wander into the US. Only Canada does this. We don't have an immigration policy, we simply import people by the masses and let them wander in.

I was reading this site and nothing came as a suprise. There will be populations large enough to form political parties and seperation from Canada. This is all but a matter of time if things continue. I believe in the future will embrace multi-culturalism so much, that we'll just end up selling of places like Surrey and Brampton to the country of India where it will become official Indian terriroty. It's only a matter of time. Lately I've been driving down the streets of the GTA. Peasants, poor people, people with nothing, people in rags who cannot speak English at all, elderly that are sick in cruches and wheelchairs and coming to Canada unchecked, unprocessed, and being waived through as fast as possible. In the 3 years I've been here, I have actually noticed traffic get congested now where it has never been before. I look into car after car and all I see Asian faces. Vans filled with people. Old and young. Hair messy, scarves and rags abound. Foriegn languges wherever I go. Whether filling gas or going to Wal-Mart. People dressed in their ethic costume. Many cars in my city have an Islamic CD hanging from the rear view mirror as they dangle and reflect in the sun. Muslims share this symbolism all accross the GTA to send signals to one another that they are part of the 'same'. Sikh's have stickers and symbols in their cars. Movers and other odd Sikh owned businesses will have the Sikh symbol painted on their signs to show their unity as 'one'. I drive by our hosptials and bare whitness to sick, ailing foriegn born elders of which I question how they entered Canada and who is paying for the medical care when they cannot speak English and clearly cannot work. Why is this happening here? I look at the highschools and see token ethnic groups abound. Pakistani's one side, Asians on the other, Sikh's on the other, and Jamaicans on the other. Driving by the airport litterally hundreds of elderly, sick, pregnant, and poor looking people holding cards flooding out of Pearson airport with their life savings. Buying a house, house after house is being modified with liveable basements where two families will dwell as they spend their life savings on the house they came to Canada to buy. Women everywhere are pregnant with no prospects of work where they will collect benefits to pay off the mortage on that very house they bought. Topics at dinner parties are immigration and sponsorship and why they support the Liberal Party. As they work to sponsor in their elders and the cycle contineus. I sit on the sidelines and bare witness to Canada's healthcare, infrestructure, and welface state degrade beyond repare. I understand most here are not from the GTA. As well, most here don't understand that about 1/4 of Canada's total population resides in a 100km radius around Toronto. Canadians have taken an ideoligical view on immigration. Immigration is not happenning where you live most likely - you only here about it. Well it's happening in Canada more per capita then any other country on earth. Yes. Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal *are* Canada. This summer I'm going to take some pictures out my car window. People need to see it to believe it. I feel that as a Canadian it's your right to see what the media simply does not show.

No, your right here. Interesting, many of the gang members tend to be the children of immigrants from what it seems. That's purely anecdotal, and I'm not going to back that up, but I really have a hard time believe that deportations would prevent most of the crimes. They obviously have no known (serious) criminal records if they are permanent residents... so what do we base this random deportation forumla on? It's obvious you are in 'defend the immigrant mode' becuase life is good for you personally so everyone around the world should come here and join in. Forget about the employment and job creation statistics. Let's all 'feel good about immigrants'. I would wager that about 50% of all people living in Canada are immigrants or children of immigrants so yes most youth involved in city gangs are immigrants or children of immigrants. You're not going to make me go look up the numbers and prove myself right are you? =) Also, countless crimes have been commited from people who have overstayed their visa's or are here on false refugee claims. I can go on and on regarding welfare fraud, murders, suicides, and all sorts of other things. I've said this a million times and I'll say it again: Canada is the easiest country in the world to come to. It's the easiest system to cheat, the gives you the easiest benefits, and not only this Canada ensures that you keep your ethnic bagage and do ensure that you do not assimilate with society.

And there's also no way of telling who will drive wreckless and kill people when you sell them a car. My question is a bit more fundemental. Seeing as he was a foroiegn exchange student and a non citizen, how was he able to buy the handgun, and why was he not expelled from the country during his first signs of trouble? The US (and especially Canada or any country for that matter) should not pamper, help, or welcome undesirables into their country. This goes for both physical and mental illness. When he was omitted to the hospital, he should have been detained and expelled back to Korea. But no. We're interested in not 'hurting his feelings'. We need to 'be fare'. Him being in the US was a privilage, *not* a right. I can't feel sorry for the US when they williningly import and keep these people in their country. Believe me, we're the suckers, not India, China, Pakistan or Korea.

http://edition.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/vtech...ting/index.html The US at the best of times is an odd place..... Yeah school shootings certainly don't happen in Canada.

Lord. They were talking about it on the radio afterwards. Other talk show hosts. I listen to 640am a lot throughout the day. People called up and said they lost all respect for him. It was hard to take him seriously after that. Either way it was all caught on camera so when CBC puts out a documentary on him (which is making money and power from) then you'll see what happened and how he stormed out mad.

I agree. But I feel science is different than ideoligy. The fact is, we don't know if there is global warming. Yes, there has been a warming period. But previous to that there was a cooling period. We don't even know if the ice on land is going to melt or even has melted. We do know that water levels have been rising for millions of years. Sorry, there just isn't any solid evidence to back the *theory* of global warming. Science is factual. Everything else is theory. Evalution is not factual, it's theory. 2 + 2 = 4 is factual and science. Global warming is a theory from the left wing. It's anti-corporation, anti-oil, and anti-car: What else is new. Nothing is new. Global Warming is no different than the Cold War, Ozone Layer, Acid Rain, and ah yes, Global Cooling: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15391426/site/newsweek/ Remember Global Cooling? Why scientists find climate change so hard to predict. "Scientists urged governments to consider emergency action to head off the terrible threat of . . . well, if you had been following the climate-change debates at the time, you'd have known that the threat was: global cooling." "for more than 100 years journalists have quoted scientists predicting the destruction of civilization by, in alternation, either runaway heat or a new Ice Age."

They were talking alot about him on the radio station later on in the day after he stormed out. He's been an NDP voter his whole life and a member and only voted for the Green Party once. That's what I heard on the radio.

"Suzuki walks out of AM640 after global warming debate Feb, 15 2007 - 3:20 PM TORONTO - Turns out noted environmental activist Dr David Suzuki isn't as mild mannered as you may have thought. He stormed out of our studios this morning after a debate with host John Oakley over the merits of the Kyoto Accord. Suzuki says whether the Harper government agrees or not, Canada is already on board with the plan. Oakley says he welcomes all voices in the debate. Suzuki countered by asking if he'd welcome a creationist to chat about evolution. " At the end of the inerview he stormed out of the room. This girl in the hall told him that he was her hero and he just ignored her. I was shaking mad supposedly. Supposedly he's never worked a day in his life and the film crew was from the CBC because they fund a lot of his work. It was sad when he started to bring up the tobacco industry. When he did that he instantly lost credibility with me because that puts him with the gore crowd. In the 70's it was global cooling, then the ozone layer, now it's warming. God forbid it's a natural trend of our climate. Kyoto has become a religion. Many people are gaining power, media attention, and making money of this. You have to admit he came accross as a child university student "it certainly isn't from big coorperations". So he has the mind of a 21 year old in school. Great David. None the less, it's Davids. It brings him power. It feeds his ego. It gives him control. In turn we all have to bend over for *his* ideals and beliefs. Don't you see? Suzuki has more of a psycological condition like many of our Liberal politians do. He feels the need to profess and dictate onto Canadians his personal idealisms. We don't need any more of these people ruining Canada.

This morning on AM640 Toronto John Oakley had on David Suzuki. Just the fact that Oakley even suggested or questioned Kyoto and global warming caused Suzuki to raise his voice and get angry. He stormed out of the radio station mad. He asked Suzuki where he gets his money and such. Listen here: http://www.640toronto.com/john_oakley/john...jor=64671#video I've never heard Suzuki be so rude. In life there will always be people who are out to gain control over other people via their ideals. Suzuki uses the environment to promote his political agenda. This interview makes it easy to see through Suzuki. What I'm learning now is that he had a documentary film crew with him. In the hallway he said 'i hate this kind of thing'. He may have planned all this. When he thanked Suzuki he just got up and stormed out. I also learned that he's a member of the NDP so naturally he has an agenda.
