The Toronto Area has precious few Indigenous people I can attest to anecdotally. Yeah, that was the rhetorical point that flew over your head. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

What about if new Canadians have trouble coming to a new society but their kids acclimatize great? Why do we bother? There are 7 billion heading for 12...then goodness knows where after that. In our lifetimes... Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Boges Posted August 17, 2018 Report Posted August 17, 2018 1 minute ago, DogOnPorch said: There are currently 7 billion plus people on the planet. That's more people alive...right now...than have ever been dead. Think about that. When the next bunch get through having their brood, this number is expected to reach 12 billion. They can't all come here and live on Canadian welfare. So because some people come, that's like everyone coming? Should Canada's population cap out at 40 million? Quote

Those end up making children and their children end up going to school and growing up in Canada and majority of the crappy stuff will be filtered away. But such integration or assimilation will occur much more slowly if the tribal multiculturalists have their way. Based on her withering critique of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel apparently understands this. Perhaps you should admit it as well. 1 Quote

Canada has always accepted people from other nations. I'll concede there's an issue with refugees. But that only amounts to a fraction of people that actually come here. Most come here because they want to contribute to society. Quote

The same for the USA! Yes, immigrants had founded and shaped these two countries the way they are - Canada and USA. But take note - from what countries did most of those immigrants come from?

I'm something like 10% native as a matter of there being....ohhhh...no WHITE WOMEN until 1910 in this region. But I wouldn't have a snowball's chance in you-know-where of getting status or even Metis. That'd be darn near everybody outside Vancouver...lol.
