The only thing that distinguishes Canadians from Americans is that Canadians are meek and obsequious in the face of foreigners. The immigrants are going to keep flowing into Canada, and Canada doesn't have culture for them to adopt, and even if it did, it wouldn't impose it on them. Because of Canadians like Zeitgeist who are running the country, who do not beleive in nationalism. So the immigrants are going to take over and impose their culture on Canada, already in progress, only going to accelerate and expand. The immigrants will even turn on the Progressives who were so eager to invite them in, that's going to be the most amusing part. Z does not need my defense he speaks for himself but he has never ever stated he was against a common Canadian identity. I think you mistake your definition of nationalism and his or mine because mine is the same as his. Our sense of Canadian identity is not the same as the American one. For starters we do not define our history the way Americans do. You Americans use a Chauvenistic approach heavily dependent if not completely predicated on military identity and victories. Our reference to our military history is extremely measured and low key. There is a reason for that. Americans follow the French, Greco and Roman approaches whereas ours is based on quite frankly British military from the 1800's which downplays excessive posturing, swagger and bragging as you Yanks do. Our military does not boast or engage in excessive displays of loud emotions demonstrating our greatness. We do not like to be loud and brag. We line up and say excuse me. We do not need to be the loudest in the room and draw attention to ourselves. Our Canadian identity which Z has made clear in past posts and I agree with is a composite sense of identity embracing aboriginal, British and French influences where we try take the best from them, then mix in with them a constant input of new approaches from other ethnic ideas. You Americans throw in all your ingredients in one big pot and melt it all down into one flavor. We cook it more slowly trying to blend it like you do, but not drown out the different tastes. You Yanks insist on drowning everything with ketchup. We want to use different spices at different times and be subtle on how we infuse our dishes with flavours. So look I have been to Buffalo tail gate parties. I love the sausages (yah I am so kosher) and the other dead animals Yanks cook before a Bills game. Love it. However you guys could learn that there are things other than red meat. You could try for example some escargot, maybe some frog's legs, and for God's sake a real beer not the urine you drink. You are right, we are a country that refrains from an identity like yours but we have one. Its just more modest and subtle in presentation. Put it this way, its the difference between a loud man rushing in a room with an erection demanding his woman strip and spread compared to a quiet man who comes in, turns the lights down, turns on the music (no not Ceine Dion or Anne Murray, I concede it would be the American Barry White), pours some wine, undresses slowly, and tells the woman she smells nice and then asks her what her name is and whether she prefers Chopin or Mozart.

I never said that neither, but like the Quebecois, I don't need nor want the federal government and its state media propaganda arms to define my identity for me. Half my family is American, half my family is Canadian, I am both identities at once. American identity however is the only one which protects me, protects my property, protects my rights. The Canadian constitution is weak, tho it doesn't bind me to any particular Identity, Furthermore Canadians themselves are too meek to demand anybody adhere to any particular culture in Canada. There are many Canadians now, who have no idea what you're talking and do not care. Canada is not what is was at Expo 67' ; that Canada is long dead. Edited September 14, 2019 by Dougie93 Quote

It's not an "approach". Canadians have to have an "approach" because they are insecure about their Anglo-American identity, so they have to make up a fake country instead. Americans are simply Chauvinistic. America First. It's not an approach. It's just who we are. Americans do not "predicate" anything on our military victories The hard won victory is asserting our God given rights, we honor the victories by defending and upholding those rights therein. No living in the past. Defending those rights in real time, all day, every day. It's not predication, the war to defend freedom never ends. Unlike Canadians, who did not fight for their rights, so all rights in Canada are negotiable as a result. Canadians neglect their military and do not honor it, because they know it never fought for Canada, but rather for the British Empire, and now the American Hegenomy. Having served so long in the Canadian military, I know that it looks to Washington as its true leader. I know Canadian soldiers have more affinity for their American brothers in arms than they do for the fundamentally unmartial Canadian public. In terms of the identity of the Canadian military, it is British to the bone, nothing all that Canadian about it by your definition of Canadian. Americans don't even view Canada nor its military as being distinct from the British. To Americans; Redcoats is Redcoats. Edited September 14, 2019 by Dougie93 Quote

dialamah Posted September 20, 2019 Report Posted September 20, 2019 This news story seems appropriate to this thread. It's about Brooks, AB and the meat packing industry as a whole, who are having difficulty obtaining workers for the meat-packing plant. For them, immigration will solve that problem. Quote The economic engine of the region, however, sputters to a halt without people and for years the meat processing plant has struggled to find enough workers within the local labour market. But because work in meat processing doesn’t seem to appeal to enough Canadian-born workers, the meat industry has had to turn its attention elsewhere. ... changes made to the federal government’s temporary foreign workers program in 2014 have made it difficult for meat processing plants to bring foreign workers to Canada The article notes that the meat packing industry had an employment shortfall of 12%, more than any other industry in Canada. However, the Federal Government is implementing a program, starting in 2020, that will see 2,750 positions filled for each of three years. The Calgary Herald explains more about this program: Quote ...a three-year immigration pilot to bring in full-time, non-seasonal agricultural workers that will include a pathway to permanent residency. The budget said the purpose of the pilot project is to “meet Canada’s ambitious export targets and attract and retain needed labour.” Labour shortages in the Canadian agriculture industry have been an ongoing issue for years, affecting everything from family farms to greenhouses to feedlots. Some of the most severe, chronic labour challenges exist at meat processing facilities and abattoirs, where industry representatives say a shortage of workers is limiting Canada’s ability to meet market demands. [ ] The council says labour shortages result in $750 million in lost sales for meat processors annually, as well as $396 million in lost sales for related value chain producers. Quote
