Canada was populated by First Nations & mostly Europeans. We were all under the umbrella of Christianity for our religions & we all got along and were happy. But those days are gone people.

May I say as a Metis. My family were and are the first people to be described as Canadian and are still acknowledged as the original Canadians. My great Uncles and Aunts fought the British North West Mounted Police at Batoche because the British Colonizers after outlawing fur trade except through the HBC company were further insulted by having their ancestral land sectioned off and given to immigrants. My uncles also were part of the first battle at Seven Oaks when surveyors were surveying and measuring my ancestral cousins land. The British Immigrants were described as the preferred immigrants. TheNorth American Indians, the Metis were described as undesirables and in a memo written to the Indian Affairs Minister during John A MacDonald asking him how best to remove the undesirables Metis from their land. The Metis were not placed on reservations because we never stopped fighting for our homeland rights. What is happening now is a continuation of what happened back when John A MacDonald was Prime Minister. May I also say if these migrates think their customs and regions are so great then stay in your homeland. But unlike the brave Metis who continues to oppose the government and finally 100 years later some our birthrights as the original Canadians have been recognized. My great grandfather and his father were both named Antoine and Charles Henault dit Canada, and to this day from the 1700s some of my cousin’s last name has been Canada since the 1700s. People with Canadian passports don’t make them Canadian. Indians from Indian don’t integrate or intermarry. They impose their culture on the rest of the country. Get rid of them all.
Asserts Métis identity and historical claims to Canadian belonging, drawing parallels between colonial displacement and current immigration, framing indigenous peoples as the 'original Canadians.'

It's called brown town for a reason. LIsten to the racism. It used to be a no color town she says. A Canadian Karen. They are people from India.

At least they aren't stealing and murdering others like the other humans

Most effective form of Positive Communications with Indian People In Canada. from this day forward, if in your daily travels and tasks, at any time you run into an Indian in Canada; EXTREMELY POLITELY and with calmness, quietly, with ZERO Levels of loudness or aggression. Friendly introduce yourself, smile, and ask them a very simple question: "Excuse me, I believe that you are from India" If the answer is Yes then ask this POLITELY: "Why are you here in Canada?" If they answer "Work", then a third question is possible. "Many Indians say that they do not like Canada, weather, religion, food, etc "a recent poll said that less than ONE PERCENT of Single Indian women will ever date a non-Indian Canadian citizen". I am curious who gave you the instructions to never date White Canadian Men? And I am extremely curious about the wave of Single Indian Ladies moving to a country filled with a population of men that you find unattractive and uninteresting to know. "Why would an attractive single Indian Lady that dislikes White Skinned Men, relocate to a Country where the a majority of men are White Shinned ? " Can you tell us the Truth please. We are very interested in learning. THANK YOU
Extended comment making sweeping claims about Indian immigrants' dating preferences and motivations, framed as identity-based inquiry with fabricated statistics.
