My vision of Canada

[mikedavid00]

All the Liberal leaders in a dictatorship style love to talk about their 'vision of Canada'. So here's mine. I think I've learned a lot of things here from some people and I think I may have been wrong this whole time.

I believe these 7 things will factually make Canada greater than any country in the world:

1 - Remove borders to allow anyone in and out of the country. Forget about passports and border security and immigration. Let's allow anyone from any country to come. This will expand national revenue, help build more schools, and it will especially bring so much skilled labor to Canada that we desperately need. The kind of skilled labor that we have an amazing shortage of.

2 - Recognize all credentials and force employers to hire those who come here looking for a better life. Forget about our life, it's about their lives after all. It's their dream, not ours. So I suggest that employers be forced to hire someone with the credentials. For instance, if someone shows that they have completed med school from Islamabad, then they MUST be hired at a hospital. There is no reason this can't be done.

3 - Not only providing free healthcare, but building hospitals outside Canada to help those more needy. Not everyone can afford a plane ticket to come here, so I feel that we should extend our healthcare system in other 3rd world countries like Africa, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. This way, we could hire doctors from those countries to work in our hospitals abroad and we can pay for it back home.

4 - English/French elimited as our language. I feel that French adn English holds us back. We should become a multi-lingual country (officially) so all languages are official and all gov't documentation is in all languages of the world. CPAC should also be translated in these languages too.

5 - Remove any dealings with the US. The US is an evil that has done Canada nothing but harm. We should stop our dealings with the US and concentrate on dealing with great allies of Canada like China, India, south Lebannon, Pakistan, Samolia, and Palistine. Once all the people from those countries move here, business realations would get better between these countries and we would gain so much wealth?? DON'T YA SEE? Good idea eh?

6 - Stope mining for oil and focus on greenhouse gasses. Nothing should be more important than greenhouse gasses as the #1 issue for all of us. Oil, power generation, and cars should be banned and we should ride bycicles and use solar pannels like Jack Layton. This would save the world and Canada can do it!

7 - Remove the word 'Canadian'. We don't need to be 'Canadian' anymore because it degrades someone who is Punjabi that has come here from India and might cause some unfrairness. We shall call ourselves by our heritage names like dogs. For instance, I could be a Lebanese x Irish. Betsy can be a British, geoffry can be German x Scottish. This would be much more fair.

One of the best quotes I've seen. Mixing beliefs with facts...hilarious. We need more satirical posters of your calibre.

MikeDave, tu as bien oublié les Français de France. Un Anglais British d'accord mais - dit avec un accent British - pas les Français de France.

MikeDave, your vision of Canada should exclude people with a family name such as Tremblay, Gauthier, Daigle, Béliveau, LeBlanc - they're fraudulent. They're new immigrants. Like a Crosbie, a Munro, a Roberts or Bowrings in Newfoundland.

Where do we draw the line? Who came here first? And is that the measure of existence, or Canada? En fait, non.

yes your right. Maybe they need a seperate category. we can also let them make land claims too.

Did you actually write this long, drawn out sarcastic tripe yourself?

geoffry can be German x Scottish. This would be much more fair.

I'm French x Irish. Don't degrade my drinking ability by calling me German or Scottish.

Not many ethnic backgrounds can say that.

This is fun!

I would like to add on policy #6, the importance of physical activity. Therefore, bike rides are a must! Or jogging to work. Do not use beasts for public transportation . It is not the horses or the donkeys who need to lose weight...

Definitely no more school buses! If those kids can run for cancer, or diabetes, or their little tickers...then they can definitely run to school!

Interesting,but not going to happen. First #1 and #5 don't mix! Just as soon as the borders came down the US would be in here for the nature resources alone! No, Canada should stay Canada and I think its time for any government sitting, seek more public opinion on topics.

It reads something like Trudeau's and the Chrétien-Martin Redbook.

1 - Remove borders to allow anyone in and out of the country. Forget about passports and border security and immigration. Let's allow anyone from any country to come. This will expand national revenue, help build more schools, and it will especially bring so much skilled labor to Canada that we desperately need. The kind of skilled labor that we have an amazing shortage of.

You left out a requirement that they speak no English or poor English, and had only an Islamic education. And also, the US border must be sealed.

3 - Not only providing free healthcare, but building hospitals outside Canada to help those more needy. Not everyone can afford a plane ticket to come here, so I feel that we should extend our healthcare system in other 3rd world countries like Africa, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

Canada should fund UN efforts to build those hospitals.

Yes. I type very fast. I also don't check for spelling/grammar mistakes. Over the years of posting on newsgroups then forums you learn how to work efficiently with posting or you can spend 20 min on one message.

And I was also asked by someone if he could use my origional post elsewhere! =) so that made it all worth while.

Lol dude I was being sarcastic!

Whoah I was just being sarcastic. The thing was a joke.

And no I think we have to fund our own hospitals first.
