1. youre an idiot (in my humble opinion)

Agree 100%. I'm an immigrant myself but I do think the country is too accommodating in a lot of instances.

Originally posted by jchung52 without immigrants though, Canada would be a dying population

We have always had a lot of immigrants in Canada. We have not always had millions of fraudulent insurance and social benefits claims from recent immigrants.

Our attitude toward immigrants affects the kind of immigrants we get as well as their own attitudes upon entering the country. Not so long ago, we drove the point home that it was a privilege, not a right, to live here, and that they'd better quickly learn our customs and find an honest job if they wanted to stick around. Waaaay way back in time, believe it or not, we actually required most immigrants to have a substantial amount of money or fixed assets before allowing them to settle here. And we still had hundreds of thousands of immigrants coming in. Imagine that.

I'm not so sure that this is all about immigration, though. People seem to be conflating that concept with entirely domestic affirmative action policies. The results may surprise a lot of the folks in this little echo chamber, but out in the real world, a great many people despise the assholes who continue to insist that we still need those policies to counter some nebulous and totally invisible form of racism that's endemic to all white people and especially white males.

Do we really still need a "visible minority status" column on university applications where people get to identify themselves as black, hispanic, or "aboriginal"? It looks like about 61% of the country thinks we don't.

You don't know what Jungle Fever is talking about, so you call him an idiot? JF was discussing a very recent and topical case where a Sikh man refused to wear a hard hat because it interfered with his right to wear his turban instead.

JF is completely right, and I think the case should have been thrown out. If you want to work in construction, and we have created a rule that you have to wear a hard hat, because it keeps your head safe, then everybody should have to do it. Don't want to wear a hard hat, then don't work that job.

Get a clue. Read a book.
