By Canada, you mean the new India?

At only 158 years old, it was a good run.

What would the British think about their colony if they could see it now?

Truthfully, they probably couldn't care less considering that Britain is just a group of Muslim nations now.

I don't believe you were born here, no way. Come on man, be honest. Where did your parents come from? (of course you'll avoid this question)
It’s absolutely non of your business. Sheesh, some people and their toxic sense of entitlement!

What are you going on with your "toxic sense of entitlement"? Are you just throwing around the latest catch phrases of the past few years, or just trying to be a pseudo-intellectual?

My point with Oatmeal is I find it strange that someone who I assume is Canadian born wouldn't care about any Canadian's well being first over new immigrants of the past 20 years or saying how great Canada is right now.

I don't care if they're Indian or Ukrainian, they are last for me in terms of who our government should be helping first. For me it has to be Canadians first, whether they're white, black, yellow, brown, Canadians first --- people who worked their asses off and paid into the system for their entire lives and may need the help now and are not getting it because our trusted Government has prioritized giving vast more amount of money to the newbies.

Your “toxic sense of entitlement“ is thinking anyone has to answer your questions on an anonymous board just because you demanded.
Wow, sense of entitlement much.

How people can't see he's a globalist banker worth hundreds of millions is beyond me, but people on the "left" love him. You'd think they'd prefer someone who is one of them, not someone who is wayyyyy above them. Like Jagmeet Rolex wearing Singh.. .for the working class too. lol
Must be the free stuff they like getting.
Ahhhhh....

I can't keep track of everyone but are you a Trump supporter?

Celebrating Canada Day has nothing to do with homelessness or any other issue you may wish to highlight.
To say Canada is not a great country, either because there are homeless people or because the country (and the world) is going through uncertain economic times, is shallow at best.
When you celebrate Canada Day you are celebrating Canada's self determination and formation which we can all agree is a good thing.
Also, your comments on who the government should be helping does not make any sense.
We neither have citizenship tiers nor a value ranking of Canadians in Canada, based on where they were born or when they came to Canada.
The government does not just give money to newbies.
I dont even know what payments you are referring to here, unless it is refugee payments which is minimal and in any case does not impact your entitlements.
The government helps you, to the extent that is legally mandated, based on criteria such as income levels, age etc and in certain cases like Employment Insurance, based on how much you paid into the system.

They're all the same to me dude, don't like any of them.
Oh, ok. Was just checking. Seems like the Trump guys love it that he is a billionaire, but resent that Carney is rich. Not a billionaire AFAIK. Under $100m I imagine.

Trump is a diapered ham fisted, hateful, racist narcissitic, self-promoting blowhard who has bankrupted companies through his mismanagement, sues and has been sued over his business dealings thousands (literally) of times... and has no government experience (except for him knowing how to "work" the "rigged system") and is emotional, short term transactionally motivated and has the focus and attention span of a flea. He also couldn't point out half of the counties on a map wth no labels. He is universally despised by first world leaders. He is so easily played by fawning praise and the worst kind of predictable bully negotiator.

Carney, on the other hand, is a worldly, highly respected former Governor of both the Bank of Canada and Great Britain with a long term, pragmatic mindset. Other than hm doing his job to shareholders by moving Brookfield to a more appropriate place to grow the company's business. No scandals. No hint of being corrupt, no hawking Made in China Carney Carnival tchotchkes.

I understand it's a cult, and Carney is now 'a Lib' to 'own', but FFS. <smh>

To paraphrase (substituting Canada for America) Ronald Reagan's last speech as President;


"You can move to France but you will never be a Frenchman. You can move to Germany, Turkey or Japan but you will never be a German, a Turk or Japanese.

Anyone can come to Canada from any corner of the world, and can become a Canadian"

It was great, the trend it's setting the past few years, let's say since 2010 and onward it's not as great, so many people can and do question its greatness.
My questioning what the government does makes 100% sense, you question conservatives don't you? Amirite? Luckily for you they haven't been in "power" so it's easier to just be agreeable with whatever the government is doing now.

The "payments" are how muc new immigrants are getting but it seems to be kept quiet and if you question it you're a "conspiracy theorist" but you're questioning things.
"Legally mandated" and there lies the big question, apparently there were laws created within the past 10 years that incentivized businesses to hire new immigrants and they (gov't, aka TAXPAYER) would cover 30% of the wages. Is it a coincidence that the overwhelming majority of big chains are loaded with new immigrants (mainly Indian which anyone can do with an eye test) and they're not teenagers either.
Yet you don't see any black, white, asian teens? In case you missed it I posted about an encounter I had with a Canadian/Jamaican guy in a parking lot not too long ago and how he was pretty pissed off that his 14 and 16 year old kids were having a hard time getting jobs anywhere -- all starting from an Uber delivery guy (Indian) who knocked over an elderly Asian woman trying to get into the a McDonald's, so this guy told him off "have some respect" and the Uber driver didn't say anything but gave him the finger once he was driving off in his scooter.

So your reply to Optimus being smug af got me wondering where you were really from, my apparent "toxic self entitlment" BS. lol

Canada has lost its shine 100%

I like that low key jab at Trump while praising Carney, they run in the same circles.
You're gonna tell me that a guy like Carney has "lower/middle class" friends? 😅
Someone who was on the chair for Bloomberg, worked at Goldmann Sachs, was a globalist banker and with the World Economic Forum?

I am asking what these payments are.
How can these payments be "kept quiet"?
If we aren't talking refugees, there is no free cash from the government to any immigrant group.
You seem to be making this up.
"Legally mandated" and there lies the big question,
No, there is no question here.
I am referring to the eligibility criteria for any social assistance that the government provides you.
It's published on the government website in great detail.
apparently there were laws created within the past 10 years that incentivized businesses to hire new immigrants and they (gov't, aka TAXPAYER) would cover 30% of the wages.
Wage subsidy programs?
There are many wage subsidy programs.
While there are some that target immigrants exclusively the majority target vulnerable groups that are in need (that may include newcomers) including students such as your friend's kids.
A quick google search shows you all these various programs.
I think you'd call Canada great for having such programs to help people.
