I couldn’t care less if you want to practice your religion and values in the sanctity of your own home. DONT TRY TO SHOVE IT DOWN OUR THROATS AND CHANGE SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR LONGER THAN YOU HAVE BEEN ALIVE!!!!

Should have said something when Trudeau was allowing the masses to enter illegally! This country has gone down hill and illegals have learned to work the system! I couldn’t care less if Canada splits and provinces separate. Politicians not listening to their people and putting illegals first!

So wait, do we have to keep these people now?? 500 or so out of 600 or so terrorists came from the northern border? Wait, I thought it wasn’t a problem in Canada? ?? I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re now allowed to stay in Canada. Enough is enough. Thank god for president Trump, who managed to do something about OUR border crisis from the US, because our lame duck government couldn’t care less. We could only be so lucky to have leadership like him. Pollievre better step up.

if they pass a medical evaluation I don’t see a problem with them serving .I really couldn’t care less about such a small minority. They are serving as everyone else is.

So many Canadians in the same situation — perhaps use your Canadian passport ? so many better places for you to be… find a nice job across the border in the US — it’s so easy to get a TN work Visa, or work tax free in the UAE, or build a nice career in Singapore. I had the same problem with Australia — it’s my home, and my heart will always fondly call it home forever. Australia is a big country with small job market, generally ignorant (but nice) people and limited economic diversity. One gets proper civic amenities only in either Melbourne or Sydney e.g., top notch medical care, a wide variety of groceries etc. Taxation is very high and although some people will tell you “we are well taken care of…” that is not true nowadays. The Australian Government’s policies over the last 40 years destroyed manufacturing, the economy, working conditions and inflated the property market. A reasonable 2-bedroom apartment in a Sydney suburb could cost you Au$2000-3000 in rent or Au$500,000+ to buy — and that goes higher as you get closer to downtown Sydney. The problem is that incomes are not high enough in Australia and housing quality is less than average overall for these ridiculous prices. Food, tolls and petrol cost a lot, although Sydney and Melbourne’s fresh food markets give you better prices than you’ll find in most other cities. My wife and I had a combined income of over Au$300,000/year while we lived there. We finally left Australia and moved to the US because even with our relatively high income we could only have an average house for around Au$1.8 million, we couldn’t fill up the tub and have a proper bath because of water restrictions, our kids would get an average schooling and their only dream in life would be to one day own a house. We didn’t want to live like that, so we wrapped up and left for good. The US is much better for skilled people — I don’t mean plumbers, tilers, roofers or landscapers, although life is good for them too. I’m sure someone will reply to this comment about the gun violence in the US. All I can say is that in the US we have the option to defend ourselves whereas in Australia we are expected to quietly die if someone kicks us in the head, stabs us or shoots us. Quality of life is good here in the US for me and my family. Fly free, mate!
