If you invest, you follow the money. Has dick to do with your nationality.
EX: with your corrosive softwood duties all the lumber companies here have been buying sawmills there. They still get your $$$

So even though Canada feels slighted by America you still would voluntarily invest your money here. Okay hungry hungry hypocrite.

No, a hypocrite would be a free marketer drum pounder that didn't go for the highest ROI

Hypocrites are all you so called right wingers that want the govt to do something about prices and the cost of living.

North?

Lazy people move south because it is warm.

Smart people move south because they earn more, have more possiblities. 

 

 

I think today there is a growing exodus movement away from cities and urban life. Also young people are turning to religion, and holding anti-capitalist views.

My money? Think real. Delivery Van. 

I ask you: where would you put a delivery van, motorcycle dropped from a rich Uncle: America, Ecuador, Russia? Canada? Germany?

In Ecuader, Russia: Stolen.

Canada, Germany? Too many regulations.

America? My delivery van will generate profits, and the van will not be stolen.

Strongly disagree.

Young people -around the world- want to live in cities.

This may be so in Quebec, because they have taken a more restrictive stance on immigration and public displays. Meanwhile in english Canada, big cities have become much more overcrowded and consequently life is far less convenient. Including the open hostility between groups who have brought their traditional grievances here.

Big cities is where the jobs are, especially for immigrants, so they collect their.

Despite all efforts by federal government to "force feed" the immigrants into small town communities, they prefer the high population areas.

Works for me.

Canada has not restricted immigration. It is cold. 

In Canada, people also speak French.

=====

If foreigners want to immigrate to Canada, a) live with cold weather and b) speak another language.

Let me make my two points:

Our weather protected us from some people.

Pierre Trudeau protected us from other people.

====

To succeed in Canada, you have first to live in cold weather.

But to succeed truly, you must also speak two languages.

Suppose it's fair to say we need other people to protect Kanada?

And now they will get a free winter coat when they arrive. Which they wear, all year round...

Le Quebecois have passed many laws restricting the use of foreign language in public.

Let alone, forbidding display of religious symbols, which are very important to immigrants.

To be honest, they know what they are doing, those frenchmen.

Disagree.

First, Canada's cold weather protects us against many people.

Second, Trudeau Snr created another hurdle in Canada: ambitious people move south because they don't speak two languages.

Americans vs. Canadians.

Well, Americans don't stuff $20 bills with the pic of the Nation's leader   into the camel-toe retainer of strippers. 😁
