You think all the part time and government jobs are a sign of prosperity? LOL

If those were real jobs created by industry we would have a 4 to 5 % increase not less then 2%.

 

Looking over the last 4 years.

 

I'd still agree with the numbers over opinion.

I literally replied with facts and stats. You reply with more garbage and no substance. You're a troll.

Tell me again how systemic oppression doesn't exist in Canada.

 

What facts?  What stats?

 

Opinion isn't a fact.  Spitting crayons out is not a stat

Our education system has systemically oppressed first nations students for over 100 years....

Possible recent changes maybe will correct this.

I am a recognized first nations member.  My father was in residential schools.  My aunt as well before being returned home then taken from her home via the scoop program.

 

Anyone who says that systemic oppression does not exist in canada is either lying, ignorant, looking for attention or...the other thing

You say a whole lot while saying nothing at all.

 

Just because there was oppression doesn't mean there can't be none today.

 

 

There is not 1 law that oppresses anyone in Canada. That is a fact. Or do you not know the definition?

First Nations are a protected class in Canada. Their problem is they give all the money to greedy chiefs who don't help their people. That's socialism in a nut shell.

 

What the indigenous people went through is horrific, but a majority, not all, of First Nations have access to an education, get paid to go school, get paid to get good grades as an incentive. They have special scholarships and government funded schooling. They don't have to pay tax. They could be massively entrepreneurial but their culture is not that way. Could you imagine if the Asians had all those privileges? They would be even more academically dominant. Universities have laws that limit the number of seats Asians can have in a class because they dominate everyone else academically. 

 

So ya. I hold my ground. But f*** me right? Because I'm white I can't have an opinion on racism.

I didn’t see anything from the SNC Lavalin investigations that linked Trudeau with terrorists so if you have actual facts to back up your claims, by all means post them.

In America they give all their money to rich people and call it capitalism (but it's really just socialism for the rich and capitalism for everyone else). 

 

People who had their lives destroyed end up raising unsuccessful children, who'd have thunk it? Suppress a people and it'll be seen for generations. You can't just sprinkle some money dust and, poof, there goes a whole era of suppression out the window lol. These programs are there to try and pull up a population that was put down for so long. 

 

20+% of indigenous adults went to those residential schools. 40+% aged 60 or older. The last of those garbage schools was closed in 1996. I would assume you know what went down at these schools and then the link between abuse and drug use. You think the children of those drug users should be rocket scientists because they get some special scholarships :lol:

 

That's just stupid man.

Ooooh yes. You’re right. There was something about that, but I think I saw it on an American network about SNC building for a customer who was also accused of sponsoring terrorism in the Middle East. This was right around the time that Trudeau was bribing the Canadian news media with 600 million in hush money.

 

edit; a quick search in google lead to SNC being tied into business with terrorists from Libya.

The GDP is a fact based number. It shows whether your country is growing or not. We are at less then 2%. US is 4 to 5%.

Our jobs are being created by government money and short term positions. Investment is at an all time low. They brag about taxing the the richest people in Canada. LOL

They just transferred their money out of the country and found ways of not paying a dime.

What they did was transferred the burden to those who make 200,000 and up. Middle class families drive this country and they are killing them with taxes.

Their wonderful carbon tax is a scam. They say it all comes back to canadians yet they are handing it out to Liberal buisness right and left. They kick a little bit of it back to low income earners and the rest is used to line the pockets of the wealthy. 

NEVER PUT LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY IN THE HANDS OF GOVERNMENT AND EXPECT THEM TO USE IT WISELY.

That is a scary coalition. You would let these socialists sacrifice freedoms for "feelings" and "tolerance". Yet they are incredibly and increasingly intolerant of those who disagree. The liberals will tax us into poverty while increasing their wages.

anything else :lol: 

 

Yes, yes I would let 'the socialists' give you feelings. All of them.

"I don't recall anybody saying anything negative about it. I don't think the intention was to hurt anybody," said Khurana, owner of Guru Bazaar, a sari and fabric store in Surrey, B.C.

 

Sunny makes sense here. Clearly Western society has become so (expletive deleted) fragile that these pictures of Trudeau have cause inner turmoil and torment for the triggered masses, but for people like Sunny Khurana, who are capable of seeing things clearly and for what they are, it's not a big deal.

it seems to be breaking down that people that were still in diapers at the time it happened are the most offended by this. 

 

But its hard to deny the humorous side of this as well, I mean you couldn't come up with anything better for Trudeau if your goal was to knock him down a peg. But I also feel for him a bit, being embarrassed globally has to be rough. 

 

If this is the end of his run you can't say that it hasn't been interesting.
