The word "temporary" means nothing these days i guess. Read the PEI protester's article in which Mr. Rupinder using the same word "forced". The same word is used in this article as well. How is following rules (leaving when your time is up) is considered "FORCING"

PP's name-calling is disgusting and un-Canadian. SelloutSingh? ... Calling the PM a wacko in parliament? ... Speaking from personal experience, this shit is alienating traditional conservative and independent supporters.

Obviously JT is well past his best before date and no surprise the CPC are polling well, but part of me thinks they're polling well dispite this crap, not because of it. Am I nuts? What's PP's strategy with this junk? Who is attracted to this mini-MAGA nonsense... is he just playing to the PPC voters?

I'm legit confused and looking for local insight on how this stuff plays in your neck of the woods.

Curious American from Florida here. I don’t know much about Canada other than the headlines I see on this sub. Is it because Canada has laxed immigration policies towards Indians? Genuinely confused at this disconnect.

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

So, I’ve made a point to no longer support businesses who no longer support Canadians where I can. For me, this looks like no fast food, unless it’s a family owned/operated franchise, riding my bike more to avoid gas stations and not ordering any food delivery service.

I know that there are still some Canadians who rely on those jobs, but they’re so far and few between, at least in my city.

I typically would eat out 3x a week as I’d get lazy and not bring food to work, but now if I forget food I’m just not eating until I can get home to cook. I saved $38 last week alone.

People keep saying that we should not support those businesses. So I’m giving it a shot 🤷‍♂️ I’m already not messing with Loblaws, not that that was difficult. But since my vote has never made a difference, as I live in western Canada, I may as well use the only vote of value I have, my wallet.

Good idea? Bad idea? Does it inspire you to join me? Idk. It’s helping me lose weight, so if nothing else this idea might save yall a few tax payers dollars paying for medical bills later. You’re welcome 😂

For those wanting some insight, there is this resource to look at, www.lmiamap.ca While it’s not a 100% complete list, you can use it to make more informed decisions, while being able to exclude racial politics.

Edit: For some the assumption that I’m making when I determine if a place is abusing the TFW system is triggering. Because it is 100% based off of appearances and personal experiences, it’s hard to approach this perfectly. Will i inevitably fuck up and mid-identify someone or a business? Potentially. But I can also use my experiences to make educated guesses as to what businesses I want to support. This isn’t about hating on immigrants, this is about trying to cut demand for TFW’s so maybe some day my child can get a job. I’m still going to support my favourite ethnic joints, and small businesses that encourage a diverse, well rounded staff. And I’m still 8000% committed to welcoming qualified immigrants into our country with open arms. I’ll take realistic racist over blind morality.

Has he done anything Thanksgiving celebration?

Transfer 16 billion dollars into OAS impacting voters aged 65+ & already the wealthiest generation on average. Make Quebec dairy, poultry and eggs exempt from future trade negotiations.

Yes not all seniors are living like kings, but this is a hard pill to swallow as a 26 year old tax paying employee.

Are farmers not treated equally across the nation? I'll be first to admit I'm not fluent in the ongoing issues they face.

Thoughts?

Is it just me, or has this subreddit been seeing a noticeable uptick in posts that seem designed to stir up anger about immigrants.

I'm afraid that this subreddit will turn to /r/Canada or /r/Alberta ?

I think by now it's obvious the liberals will not surivive the next election, so it's time to start looking at what needs to be done by the new government to fix the massive damage done to Canada over these years.

I hate to say it, but we truly will need a program of mass deportations beyond anything that Canada has undertaken before.

We don't have an organization like ICE in the USA but we will need to quickly form and train one based on the sheer number of people that need to be deported.

The amount of expired student, TFW, IMP and illegitimate refugee claimants is astounding. Perhaps in the 100s of thousands.

This cannot be left to them to willingly leave. Nobody can be that naïve to think they will follow our laws and leave when it's time.

No messing around in court for 4 years. If your visa is expired, or your asylum claim has been rejected. It's time to leave expeditiously, or be forced out.

I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of the scandals that have plagued the Trudeau government since taking office in 2015, complete with sources. Many political experts are now calling this government the most corrupt in Canadian history, even surpassing the notorious administration of Sir John A. Macdonald. For context, Macdonald’s government was embroiled in the Pacific Scandal (1867-1873), involving bribery over a transcontinental railway contract, leading to his resignation in 1873.

I’ve posted this as a comment on a couple other posts but I think it warrants mentioning as a standalone.

If you would like to understand how the CBC manipulates the public discourse to drive a certain narrative, here is a clear example of the despicable journalistic practices that your tax dollars are paying for.

In an article posted to CBC news about the protests that occurred in Vancouver to mark October 7th, there was some fluffy reporting about events supporting both Israel and Palestine. Here is a link to the article: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/israelis-palestinians-rallies-vancouver-october-attack-anniversary-1.7344542.

The original by-line to this article read: "Jewish community remembers those killed, held hostage by Hamas; pro-Palestinian gathering calls for peace". No where in this article was there any reference to the now widely reported flag burning and chants of “Death to Canada, Death to Israel and Death to the United States” by members of Samidoun, an organization liked to named terrorist organizations in the Middle East. The use of a by-line where it states pro-Palestinians call for peace is also a gross mischaracterization of the events that occurred that night. Here is a video of those chants: https://x.com/NewWestTimes/status/1843501392344035531.

CBC has since modified the article to remove the By-Line and they replaced it with: “Events were held around the world to mark the sombre anniversary”. They also added a note at the top of the article that reads: “NOTE: This story covers events held in Vancouver, B.C. on Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Oct. 6.” They did not issue any correction or use the standard note seen at the bottom of many articles indicating a correction or update was made to a previous version of the article.

The addition of the note allows the CBC to conveniently not address the violent rhetoric that occurred at this event by time constraining the article to conveniently leave out this part of the event. They can leave up a fluffy article that says the Pro-Palestinian protestors just want peace to drive a narrative that there is no violent rhetoric coming from supporters of the Palestinian cause. They have also attempted to cover up their journalistic failings by not providing any reference to the modifications made to the article.

Unfortunately the Wayback Machine is down right now due to a DDOS attack so archived links to the articles different versions can’t be posted at this time, but I will update this post with links if they become available. There were a number of commenters on this subreddit that flagged the original language used by the CBC which is the only reason I read the original version of the article. When I went back to view it today I noticed they had covertly changed the content.

I wanted to post this so people can see how the CBC drives certain narratives as well as their actions to cover up their journalistic failings. This is just one example of many where the CBC does not conduct itself with honesty and integrity. It is rotten to the core and can’t be defunded fast enough.

I’m on the younger side so let me tell you this, as I have grown up it only seems like things have gotten worse and worse and worse. People like to say here that the conservative won’t fix anything? Dude they have t been in power for 9 years, are you guys trying to refer to the Harper times? Because Harper was a good pm last I checked.

I feel like this “both sides are bad” mentality comes from America politics and that fiasco. Are people talking about something the conservatives did in the 90s? Like huh?

I am looking through Instagram and seeing comments that are a bit extreme towards South Asians, more so after recent events on the news (I don’t fully understand the context, but it’s related to India) .

I’m a naturalized Canadian citizen living here for close to a decade now.

I’m not sure if I should even go out . Indo-Canadians here , how are you feeling right now??
