WestCanMan Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Apparently the people who took delivery of the 118 million acres wanted to live there. I bet many of their ancestors still do. Yeah and in reality they did a lot of work over the years as well. Life on the prairies was extremely hard up until about 50 years ago and the people of Canada built something amazing, something that is the envy of most of the world. They built schools, roads, hospitals, universities, malls, libraries and a culture of tolerance, generosity and understanding. Tens of thousands of people are coming here right now to milk us for all they can, they will bitch about the fact that they can't marry young children here, they will proclaim for all to hear that certain consenting adults are forbidden to have sex or they deserve death, and they will continue to try to make this country more like the hate factories they came from. Countries that had a ten-thousand year head start on us and yet somehow remain hundreds of years behind where we were at the dawn of confederation.

But other than xenophobia, can you provide any reason for these wild assumptions?
Rue Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 I think someone needs a reality check and needs to find out just what happened to Ukrainians, Dukhabors, and others who went West in Canada. They were literally dumped off and had to fend for themselves and many starved or froze to death. Neither community needs me talking about them, but to compare them to the treatment we give refugees today is ridiculous. So is comparing how we treated Chinese, Siekhs, etc The point remains, our favourable treatment of Syrian refugees as well intended as liberal do gooders think it is, is creating unrealistic expectations. We are placing people in homes with large families and no ability to work to maintain their lifestyle creating necessarily dependents on the state. John McCallum has stated now repeatedly the federal government does not feel responsible for the social issues the influx of refugees will create at the provincial and municipal levels. The federal government is in no position to provide financial help nor is it with the added burden on our medicare system. schools, housing,etc. Its not Islamophobic to point that out and say we are setting up people for failure and social problems in the name of acting like missionaries thinking we can take in savages and proseltyze them into being Canadian. How many times have I seen idiots try take in a wolf or fax as a pup only to realize a few months later it cant be domesticated. This is what we are doing. We have no understanding of the issues we are bringing in-serious psychiatric/psychological/physical illnesses, lack of language skills cultural difference, on and on. This current government now wants to change immigration requirements so that a prospective immigrant doe snot have to speak English or French. How far do we push this country to taking in people with such lack of assimilation skills they will be doomed to FAIL? if I was faced with no work or home and someone offered me a free home, and benefits and for that matter a monthly allowance to juststay home you bet I would come. It doesn't make them dishonest no, it would be downright insane not to accept such an offer. O hope certain refugees out of pride and inner faith make it nd succeed. I worry about those who won't because of unrealistic liberals feeling their heds with false expectations.
WestCanMan Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 That's quite a story. But other than xenophobia, can you provide any reason for these wild assumptions? For sure. Islam isn't a religion per se, it's an entire way of life. The codes of conduct outlined in the Quran and the Hadith are the only things that muslims recognize as a legitimate source of governance in their life. 1 If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Argus Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 For sure. Islam isn't a religion per se, it's an entire way of life. The codes of conduct outlined in the Quran and the Hadith are the only things that muslims recognize as a legitimate source of governance in their life. It is difficult to explain the dedication of people who devote their lives to a religion to people whose only guiding principle is political ideology.

eyeball Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 OTOH it's really easy to explain the dedication of conservative thinking that devotes itself to fanning the flames of racism - an abject absence of any real principles whatsoever. It's like John Kenneth Galbraith said “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy: that is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” except a lot worse. A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

dialamah Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Thought it might be interesting to track the rise of Islamaphobia in Canada. The worst example is the Quebec shooting of 25 Muslims, six of whom died and let's hope that remains the worst. Here's another less extreme example - kids and adults being threatened in the Peel School District due to Friday prayers, which have been happening for a couple of decades, but only in the last while have people decided to object. The mother in this story worries about her son, who attends these prayers, but not about her daughter who attends a publically funded Catholic school that holds mass. Quote In a statement posted to its website, the PDSD condemns the anti-Muslim rhetoric that has sprung up around school prayers. "It has caused some of our students to feel unsafe, to feel targeted," it reads. "We must not allow hatred toward any faith group to flourish. We will not stand for that. It is not consistent with our board values, with our role as trustees, or for us as Canadians." Quote Meanwhile, Ahmed said her daughter attends a publicly funded Toronto Catholic District School Board school, where kids regularly attend mass without trouble. "It just tells me it's really not about faith. The issue isn't about religious practice," she said. "This is just targeting Muslims and it's just blatant Islamophobia and to call it anything else than anti-Muslim rhetoric is really not OK." Edited April 28, 2017 by dialamah Forgot the link

Argus Posted April 29, 2017 Report Posted April 29, 2017 “We don’t want to see our society crumbling under an Islamic onslaught.” “You came to Canada; assimilate here,” she says, her voice growing raw. I'm sure the progressives would have no problem condemning such outrageous words and declaring the person who uttered them a racist who doesn't like brown people. But... not so fast there, lefties! Here's the entire quote. “We don’t want to see our society crumbling under an Islamic onslaught.” Vibha Malhotra, another member of CPC and the grandmother of Peel students, quickly arrives at Mr. Menezes’s side to bolster his point: “The fabric of Canada is changing,” she said. Though she immigrated to Canada 43 years ago from India, she bristles at being identified as Indian and believes others should have the same mentality. “You came to Canada; assimilate here,” she says, her voice growing raw. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/a-community-divided-the-fight-over-canadian-values-threatens-to-boil-over-inpeel/article34852452/ 1 "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

dialamah Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Islamaphobes in Alberta ... An Islamaphobia reporting hotline in Alberta has received about 400 calls in a year. Most were legit, people calling to report incidents. Some were Islamophobic taunts and threats. Quote I think there is a perception amongst some members of the population that Islamophobia is a myth, it’s concocted, it’s a created fantasy,” said Aurangzeb Qureshi, AMPAC’s vice-president of communications. Quote Four audio recordings were released to Global News. AMPAC says they are actual unedited messages left on its hotline. “I’m not going to change my ways just ’cause you guys want us to, and this traitor government,” begins one recording. “You better think again. You started something that you have no idea what’s comin’.'” Another message: “Yeah, take a message to Trudeau. Islam doesn’t belong on this continent.” Quote I mean, you’re hearing these people’s voices on the phone. And especially people who are talking about being locked and loaded — involving guns and shooting people — wanting you dead for no reason other than you follow a specific religion Edited May 3, 2017 by dialamah

But if you're up for gallows humour, then that's you I suppose. You can't, on the other hand, disallow such comments from others and be taken seriously. I don't think anyone on MLW is Islamophobic, except in the sense many liberals employ the term, in that they justifably rail against barbaric religious behaviour. I don't think any of us on here would pull someone's veil off on the subway, or shoot someone in a mosque. So more brevity than flippancy.
