Thanks for this and agree with the sentiment about alternative facts. After all, if one keeps saying a lie and present is as fact then it becomes a fact to the bunch. Kind of like Trump trumpeting his horn to his hard core fan base with made up facts. Keep repeating the alternative facts then it must be true.... Whilst I know about the evolution of life through Africa his idea of immigration is far fetched to say the least. Quote

I mean in all honesty everyone is an immigrant if you look at their family tree...What is it to be a Canadian??? How long is the piece of string? Unless one is differentiating a nation by claiming the ownership of Canada by white supremacists as it is being implied by some.... Didn't Leacock or someone like that once say, a Canadian is an immigrant with seniority. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC

Argus Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 6 hours ago, Wilber said: The first paragraph of that article says. "Nearly half of the population will likely be immigrants or children of immigrants by 2036 if current immigration levels continue" I hate to break it to you but the children of immigrants born Canada aren't immigrants, they are Canadians. My mother was an immigrant but my father was 4th generation Canadian, so does that make me an immigrant? I hate to break it to you but 19 years is not that far away, and the rise in the % of the population made up of immigrants continues to grow to record numbers even as the type of immigrants coming here are the least likely to assimilate in Canadian history. 1 Quote "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

Argus Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 This topic is not about Canadian immigration so I'm not going to bother posting arguments here which will likely be deleted anyway. Suffice to say nobody who supports our current system knows anything about it. And their assumptions that nobody disagrees with them and that no Canadians are like Americans - wary of all the foreigners coming into the country -- is also profoundly in error, as I have shown with polls posted in the proper forum.

?Impact Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 The Trump Presidency is apparently about filling the Trump pocketbook. This is outlined in a recent New York Times article about Melania Trump launching a lawsuit. While I didn't see one detail in there, I have read elsewhere that she registered the trademark MELANIA for a line of perfume, etc. after Trump decided to make the run for the Whitehouse, and as recent as 2 day before the inauguration was signing contracts to cash in on a line of jewelry.

I suppose hundreds of thousands of welfare cases would hurt our economy. But what does that have to do with Canada's history of immigration. Or have you got some "alternative facts" from Argus perhaps? Temper your response with the fact you are talking to the son of immigrants who has been working since I was 14. 1 Quote

Worked until they were able to buy a chunk of land, where they built a barn, plowed the ground, fed themselves and others and sold the extra to pay the bills, made a lot of friends. paid a lot of taxes, and raised six kids who did pretty well. That's my story but it's certainly not a unique one. Screen immigrants, but don't ban them. 1 Quote

That's my story but it's certainly not a unique one. Screen immigrants, but don't ban them. Personally, I love scots - most people do. I spent some time in Glasgow and Stirling a few months back. Scots have always been a hard working, honourable group of people. Scots have interests and a culture that parallel with Canadian culture. However, if you're using your parents immigrant story to justify immigrants from the muslim culture, I can see where you're making your mistake. P.S - I also think Scotland should separate from England 1 Quote The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. - Ronald Reagan I have said that the Western world is just as violent as the Islamic world - Dialamah Europe seems to excel at fooling people to immigrate there from the ME only to chew them up and spit them back. - Eyeball Unfortunately our policies have contributed to retarding and limiting their (Muslim's) society's natural progression towards the same enlightened state we take for granted. - Eyeball

They pretended they were really offended by that until they found out Trump has said way worse. Then they got mad that anyone ever brought up the subject. But no one will explain why Sarah Silverman, a comedian who tries to offend, is held to a higher standard than the president. Why will no one answer that question?
