It's not the first time Canada has changed. The first was when the Whites from Europe and UK colonized it and killed the first nations, enslaved and indoctrinated their kids into Christianity wiping out their own culture, religion & language. History is repeating itself....this time for good.
@ 2:11 "the country which they (immigrants) comes from is a shit hole", yes the same way EU & UK were a shit hole for when the colonizers from EU & UK arrived in Canada, US, Latin America they bought with them lots of viral diseases and infections. Whole of pre industrial EU & UK was very much a shit hole.
@ 8:55 "they live naked", well I guess this Polish man is trying to be like them.
Anybody not paying taxes, creating ruckus of any kind, stealing form anywhere, not following the rules of the state should be prosecuted irrespective of their nationality, religion, race, gender, color, ethnicity, etc.
Uses historical parallel of European colonization to argue current immigration opposition is morally justified as historical repetition, with calls for equal law enforcement.
