What is the problem here. I wonder how the Natives felt when the Euros came and murdered, raped and held them in reservations.

Folks....(1) If there are no immigrants We will be eating boring Fish & Chips all the time (2) If immigrants are not here it will be difficult to guard this massive country against Russian threats from the north (3) If immigrants didn't buy our inflated GTA houses from us then we might not have had the Golden Retirements (4) The Dutch in South Africa lost their colony because they didn't have adequate immigrants to help them hold the massive land they captured (5) When someone is uprooted and brought here, they work 150 % than the lazy locals to reestablish their lives this is a fact supported by various economic studies and this is what becomes the engine propelling the country's economic growth (6) When the Chinese came from Hong Kong the locals blamed the Chinese for everything. When the Italians out grew locals in Woodbridge the locals blamed them for everything and called them as Mafia . Now you guys are painting the same thing on to Brown People .This is hypocrisy and not a fact !!! ALL OF YOU ARE SETTLER DESENDANTS OR IMMIGRANTS IN CANADA UNLESS YOU ARE A NATIVE MIND THAT !!! and be grateful for this beautiful world and the life you have . Another fact is Second world war was won by English & Allies using massive African and Indian armies. So the freedom we enjoy today in Canada was helped by African and Indian soldiers as well !!! The English simply don't have the numbers win by themselves .
BE GREATFUL AND LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND IT'S DIVERSITY PERIOD !!!
BELOW IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT IMMIGRANTS ARE DOING TO HELP THE ANGLOSAXONS :
Immigrant Oppenheimer - Enabled America win Second World War
Immigrant Frank Stronach - Founded Magna Corp
Immigrant Andrew Carnegie - Founded United Steel
Immigrant Albert Einstein - Enabled America win Second World War
Immigrant Shiva Ayyadurai- Invented Email
Kevin O'Leary - Irish / Lebanese immigrant
Elon Musk- South African immigrant
AMERICA RUNS ON IMMIGRANT POWER !!! BE GREATFUL !!!

I am completely outraged. I am disgusted beyond comprehension with the gutless Republican party for not standing up to trump. Canada has traditionally been our steadfast Ally and closest Trading partner. Trump is a walking, talking, dumpster fire, and must be removed from office as soon as humanly possible. How this profoundly disturbed, mentally ill excuse for a human being ever got elected to the highest office in the land is utterly beyond me. This is where MAGA ignorance, gullibility, and abysmal stupidity has gotten us. The rest of us here in the United States are just horrified by the destructive chaos Trump is unleashing on this country and the rest of the world. Our profound apologies to Canada
Expresses moral outrage at political leadership and extends solidarity/apology to Canada as a valued ally.

First it was the Irish immigrants they hated; now we celebrated St Patrick's Day. Then it was the Germans; now we celebrated Oktoberfest. Then the Italians 'invaded' New York; now it's pizza and pasta in Little Italy. Then it was the Chinese; now every city has a Chinatown. Then it was the Japanese who we sent to camps in the 40s; now we drive their cars. Then it was the Vietnamese they hated because they were fleeing war; now we get a $15 haircut from the woman at the mall. Then it was the Mexicans; now we eat the food from the farms they work at. Then it was the Arabs; now we're fighting for their statehood. Then it was the Koreans; now we have their appliances in our kitchens and cell phones in our hands. Now it's the South East Asian's turn at discrimination and the labelling of those "very dirty people." You'll get over it soon enough and become friends with the Pakistani restaurant owner down the street, or you'll move to Woodstock and enjoy your cultural homogeneity, before the next wave of "others" from some new place around the world threatens your sense of 'I was here first' mentality and ownership of being Canadian. FFS!
Uses historical examples of immigrant groups to argue that discrimination is cyclical and unfounded, appealing to fairness and acceptance.

Dear everyone,
Culture is a constantly changing phenomenon. If you had visited Canada 500 years ago, you would have seen Indigenous tribes living on this land with their own cultural values. Two hundred years ago, European culture became more prominent, but it was still a very different place from what we see today. Family values were strong, and who your family was often determined much of your future.
Now, Canadian culture is changing once again. The arrival of Indian immigrants will inevitably influence Canadian culture, whether people like it or not. Some may try to resist—perhaps through a kind of “Trumpism”—but that will only provide temporary comfort. In the long run, Canadian culture will continue to evolve with the influx of newcomers. Today it is Indians; in the coming decades, it may be another nationality.
The key point is to embrace change—and perhaps change ourselves in the process. For example, the rise in homelessness is tied more to social and economic issues than to immigration. Family structures among white Canadians are becoming less central in people’s lives, and religion is also losing influence. Parenting values are often shaped by fleeting psychology trends and “helicopter parenting,” leaving many children without the strong foundation they need.
Perhaps there is something to learn from Indian immigrants about building families, fostering strong connections, and strengthening community ties.
Thank you.
Argues for cultural acceptance and learning from Indian immigrants, appealing to principles of change, fairness, and community values.

You know Trump is beyond horrible when Trudeau is the preferred leader. Geezus, how low can the bar go. Trudeau, Trump is not smart - quit saying that. I realize you do it solely to appease him and to appeal to his fragile ego but quit it. Trump is many things - a racist, a rapist, a pedophile, a conman, a grifter, a criminal - he is not smart. Just check his records from Wharton - oh right you can't. He has threatened to sue if they ever released them. He has redused to take an IQ test which every other President has done. He knows he's not smart.
Extended critique of Trump's character and intelligence using moral language (racist, rapist, criminal, conman) with appeals to factual evidence.

Trump will never in his lifetime know class, morality, and humility simply because he represents none of those things. He quite literally doesn’t know what those things are! America has a huge problem hence the reason for electing someone like him, and it’s a terrible shame that their problems become the world’s problems due to their global stature. Sigh.
Attacks Trump's character and moral qualities while lamenting America's problems affecting the world, grounded in ethical judgment rather than policy analysis.
