TimG Posted December 3, 2016 Report Posted December 3, 2016 9 hours ago, -TSS- said: Given the demographic changes your country is undergoing there are bound to be a lot of people who will think it is broken and needs to be fixed. Immigrants are just as likely to adopt the if it 'ain't broke don't fix it' mentality. Possibly because they have more important things to worry about.
-TSS- Posted December 3, 2016 Report Posted December 3, 2016 Perhaps you're right. It's not important or urgent. Besides, even though people in principle may oppose the present arrangement but money talks and making any changes would cost money which would be better spent on something else.
Canadianjim Posted December 17, 2016 Report Posted December 17, 2016 If the right wingers have their way ,we will be annexed By the United States with the right wing approval.

Please continue to fight over regionalism, separatism, and language laws like always. Far easier to just move to the USA like so many Canadians have done in the past. Economics trumps Virtue.

Or your militarized Police force killing unarmed people on a regular basis? ? Or better yet send your kids to schools with kids that may not have healthcare. Isn't that right wing ideology? Sending a child to school with other children that may have an infectious deae and no healthcare? Would you consider that A. Utter brilliance." or B" Child endangerment and negligence?

We don't have a leg to stand on about schools. While in the US it may be other students, here it is systemic abuse by religion.

And if you are speaking about the past you are right. Canada is trying very hard to make amends for past mistakes . Not so in America. They accept no responsibility for their atrocities on natives or the blacks.

Yes...like all of those things, and many others that do not seem to discourage far more Canadians voting with their feet by moving to the United States. Canadians go to the U.S. for greater opportunity, employment, education institutions, climate, leisure, family...even cheaper gas. No need to annex Canada....Canadians consume all things American as a matter of routine, because Canada will be the same in 4 years.

Is that why immigration has been swamped with inquires from Americans to immigrate to Canada? http://globalnews.ca/news/2562300/heres-how-americans-looking-to-escape-trump-can-immigrate-to-canada/ Americans crashed Canadian immigration site with five times the usual number of visits on election night https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2016/11/10/visits-from-five-times-the-usual-number-of-americans-crashed-canadian-immigration-site.html Facts are stubborn Edited December 19, 2016 by Canadianjim

On the other side Americans represent over 3% of the foreign born population in Canada.

I predict that Canadians will continue to vote with their feet by going to the United States (with numbers): Quote According to a report by Statistics Canada about 167,300 Canadian residents moved to the U.S. between 2001 and 2006*. That’s about 33,000 per year. By comparison about 9,000 Americans move to Canada each year, and the U.S. has nine times as many people. (And, by the way, only about 1000 more Americans moved to Canada the year after George W. Bush was reelected.) http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/06/28/americans_threaten_to_move_to_canada_do_canadians_ever_threaten_to_move_to_the_us_.html I predict that many Canadians will seek the greater opportunities that exist in the U.S. compared to whatever may happen in Canada over the next four years.
