I wish we had a politican like Donald Trump.

[taxme]

If there is one thing we can say about Trump is that he is not politically correct and has said so. Being politically incorrect myself, I am in agreement with him on just about every thing he says. He is a breath of political fresh air. Now, if only we had a Donald Trump politician here in Canada. Our present day Canadian politicians are so politically correct it is sickening. None would ever dare talk about immigration like Trump has. Trump wants to put a stop to all the illegal immigration going on at the Mexican/American border and rightly so. I wonder as to how many terrorists have crossed that wide open border in the last several years?

Trump holds nothing back and the people like him for that. He is popular as hell with the people, and the mainstream media hate it. Trump is not their political choice for President. And no matter how hard the media tries to destroy him and try to nail him on anything he says they get burnt. The establishment hate him, and want him gone, and I am surprised that there has not been an attempt on his life yet. I can only hope that he makes it to the Presidency.

Personally, I have a problem not only with our present day immigration policy but also with political correctness and the fact that we cannot have an honest discussion on multiculturalism or immigration. Foreign-aid is another pet peeve of mine. Billions given away for decades and I have not seen where this has benefited Canada or Canadians at all. I doubt that we will ever see a politician appear on the scene who will take on these important issues, and they are important issues. I guess that if a politician did give is opinion on some of those issues mentioned above his career could go down the tubes. There is no room for politically incorrect opinions in the Canada of today. Pierre Trudeau saw to that.

The media will dictate the game we must play and we must all just listen and believe what they tell us and obey. If you don't we will fix you up in a hurry. Just my opinion, of course. Works for me.

I made a choice not to comment on your other comments many of which I don't agree with but this one and this stands out and is indicative of the validity of your remaining comments. So Foreign aid is supposed to benefit Canadians hah!!!!!!!!. Yes so if Canadians are foreigners lol it would have. There is no human aspect to your post that there are so many sick and hungry even starving and homeless and poor people out there on this planet but yeah why should you care right?

There is enough resources on this planet to feed everyone but we have poor and hungry because about 1% of population are selfish and uncaring and posses a great percentage of the wealth. While they are living in big homes (much bigger than they ever need) and enjoy luxury and travelling to expensive places and wearing jewelry billions are poor and hungry and diseased. In my book those who own a lot but refused to give even a little bit to the needy and poor are ........ well out of respect for the forum I decline to say what I think of them. I am not religious but if I was I would have said they will pay for their selfishness.

I have no doubt that if most Canadians shared your views then indeed we would have a federal politician like Donald Trump. Fortunately, we do not and we do not.

Donald is full of opinions but miserably short on details. Makes all kinds of statements that appeal to emotions but gives no details about how he would actually carry them out and pay for them. This from a self proclaimed genius business man who wouldn't let you in his door if you didn't have a detailed business plan to show him.

The reason people go poor and hungry is because of their own incompetent, corrupt and uncaring governments, not because of the likes of Donald Trump. Africa is a pit because of its own political culture, not westerners who own big homes.

Maybe the leader we have isn't so different as we think.

No, Trudeau put forward a plan, whether you think it was a good one or not is something else. Trump has presented nothing so far, just fantastic claims with no explanation as to how he is going to make good on them.

[eyeball]

Yeah but, he's politically incorrect so what more do we need to know?

[Queenmandy85]

I watched a clip from an interview with Mr. Trump by Charlie Rose, in which he showed some incite. I sometimes wonder if his campaign is just a piece of performance art or a practical joke.

That is exactly the "Argus" type of thinking. Yeah blame the victims and not the aggressors or the guilty.

It is not like there is a democracy in those regions and the people have a say to change things for better (because if they try they will be tortured, hanged, raped, jailed, executed). That said even with military or religious dictatorship still those nations would be better off even if a small percentage of the wealth goes to the people and most stolen by the governments. The fact is that 1% of the damn population have taken over 50% of the wealth close to their chest that we have so many poor people. There are so many charities most of which go directly to needy people. It is for the price of a coffee a day . THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO CONTRIBUTE to those charities (like world vision or Christian children's Fund). Using the excuse that it is their own fault (or governments that they have no say in electing) is NO EXCUSE and it will not release you from your human obligation or guilt or if you are religious sins and will not clear your guilty conscious. How can you ultra right guys sleep at night???

I'm not 'blaming' poor people. I'm explaining to you that their poverty is not related to how big a house Donald Trump has, or how many of them.

Every time I take a political test it shows me pretty much dead centre. Maybe I just look like I'm way out on the right from your position way out on the left.

So very strange how you see me on ultra left and even more so when you see yourself at the center (a staunch Harper conservatism supporter, a white skin admirer, a supporter of capitalism, anti-immigrant.......and the list goes on.

And you see me as ultra left (me being a strong supporter of capital punishment, supporting reduced immigration encouraging European immigrants, a supporter of democracy and freedom and women's equality and human rights and anti communist all my life and separation of state and religion)

That you think being a supporter of capitalism makes one far right wing says plenty about just where you stand on the political spectrum.

The rest of your little list is brainless crap, of course.

How you so blatantly lie to make a point in your favor. Everyone knows you were a staunch Harper conservative supporter. You campaigned for him here vigorously before the election doing what you could by misrepresentation of the facts and figure to defend him and his corrupt government and the long list of his scandals and right wing policies, so the first item is a fact not a crap as you claimed again falsely. as a white skin admirer everyone knows you don't like brown people you have said so in many posts yourself and would prefer white immigrants only from Europe. So this item was not crap either. As for supporting capitalism you are right I am too and I am not ultra right but this is the only item that you are right about in my list and as fr last item based on your own posts over and over again you don't like immigration at least not those of muslims and what you call brown people in your posts. Again fact not crap.

[Argus]

I've criticized Harper on many occasions, and more intelligently than you have.

You campaigned for him here vigorously before the election

Drivel. If my support of Harper could be boiled down to a few words it would have been "Yeah, he's not that great, but he's better than the alternative".

.

as a white skin admirer everyone knows you don't like brown people

I don't like idiots. That has nothing to do with skin colour. I don't like violent fanatics. I don't like people with ignorant, backward social beliefs.

That you don't seem capable of understanding the difference says more about you than me.

you have said so in many posts yourself and would prefer white immigrants only from Europe.

In fact, I haven't said that even a single time. Feel free to cite where I did.

[CITIZEN_2015]

I am not going to waste my time and search for specific areas of your posts where you admired the white and opposed what you called brown people and asked for reduced immigrants and immigrants to be from Europe (in fact it was a couple of your posts in the "Immigration thread which made sense to me and changed my mind about immigration policies as before that I used to support equal opportunity immigration regardless of the continent) and now I believe in reduced immigrant and mainly from Europe. I let the readers to pass a judgement as who (you or me) is lying here. You have posted so many times about all these that one has to have a serious amnesia not to remember your anti-immigrant, pro white anti brown, anti muslin pro conservative posts.

[Bonam]

I have seen Argus post suggesting we should try to source immigrants from countries more culturally similar to Canada, such as Europe. And I've seen him post that we should reduce immigration from countries where the predominant cultural beliefs/practices are antithetical to what we have in Canada, such as many Islamic countries. But I've never once seen him state or imply that skin color should be a factor.

[taxme]

Maybe most Canadians do share my views but the media works very hard to silence any criticism of multiculturalism or immigration or foreign-aid. I wonder what the results would be if we truly had a discussion or vote on those three mentioned above. I am pretty sure that those three will end up biting the dust.

In most cases, as with Canada, a minority seems to always rule over the majority. A few special interest groups and churches and immigration lobbies really do get to decide as to what our immigration policy will be. If we the taxpayer's were told of the true costs of what multiculturalism, immigration, and foreign-aid has cost us for decades, I am pretty sure that there would be hell to pay. Our politicians and the media work very hard to not let that cat out of the bag.

Everyone that runs for political office does the same thing. They all make statements that appeal to emotions but give no details about how they would actually carry them out and at what cost. They are never up front on anything. They mostly just lie to get elected. Nothing new here.

But Donald has said that if he becomes President he will build a wall along Mexico to stop the flow of illegal aliens. And I believe that he will. And he has said that he will make the Mexican government pay for it. At least Trump has taken on the immigration question that has been on the minds of many Americans for decades. The rest are too afraid to touch the immigration subject. And our politicians here in Canada are no better. They run.

World vision and others like it are a joke. The head honchos of some of those so-called charities leave most CEO's of many corporations in awe.

First of all I am not my worlds brothers keeper. My duties are with Canada, and what goes on in Canada. What happens in the rest of the world is not my problem. I didn't create the mess that some countries find themselves in, and therefore I should not be held responsible for any mess, and not be relieved of some of my taxes to be given away to strangers. Money thrown away to other countries should instead be staying here and helping our needy instead. Of course Liberalism has worked very hard to try and make most of we the people feel guilty for what goes on in other countries. They like to blame the white man for all the worlds troubles. Foreign-aid is just a waste of good money. It helps keep dictators in power. Enough already.

My post is still u there. It doesn't say that Argus said immigration should be limited to white people but rather as you said that immigration should be reduced and be from Europe and avoid those who are culturally different like muslim countries (as you acknowledged too). My post did say that he admired the white skin and called other people as brown people in his posts.

Before belonging to Canada or Canadian society or white race or any race we belong to human race. Even if we are not responsible for the miseries abroad we still have a duty to help if we can help. That said if you feel that you only belong to Canadian society that is your right but still no excuse not to help out with those charities who help the poor and needy and runaway children and shelter abuse women in Canada. And there are plenty if you need a list PM me or simply Google search.

So how is he going to get the Mexican government to pay for it? Do you really believe that? If he decides he wants to put a wall on the Canadian border, would you be OK with paying for it or would you like your tax dollars going toward building something that is actually useful to Canadians?
