Toxicity Scores & Embeddings

Making Indigenous languages official in Canada faces struggles due to the deep, ongoing impact of colonization (residential schools, assimilation policies), the sheer number of endangered languages (over 70), lack of constitutional protection like English/French have, funding gaps, and challenges implementing legislation like the Indigenous Languages Act effectively, despite strong community efforts for revitalization. The core issue is moving beyond mere documentation to ensuring effective support for daily use, education, and government services, a goal hindered by historical trauma and systemic neglect.  Key Struggles & Challenges: Colonial Legacy: Policies like the Indian Act and residential schools suppressed languages, causing massive loss, with trauma still affecting intergenerational transmission. Constitutional Gap: Unlike English and French, Indigenous languages lack explicit, strong constitutional rights (e.g., in the Charter) for government services, as noted in this article from indigenouswatchdog.org. Urgency & Scarcity: Most of Canada's 70+ Indigenous languages are endangered, with many facing imminent extinction, requiring immediate action from the last fluent elders. Implementation of Legislation: The Indigenous Languages Act (2019) aims to support revitalization, but it's criticized for being non-binding and not creating effective rights, meaning legal recognition doesn't always translate to real-world resources or services. Funding & Resource Gaps: While funding exists, it's often insufficient, limited in scope, or not reaching grassroots efforts effectively, making comprehensive revitalization difficult. Integration Challenges: Integrating Indigenous languages into education (K-12, higher ed) and public services (health, justice) remains a significant hurdle, even where there's political will, as seen in territories with official Indigenous languages.

I mean also traffic lights are different in india than in canada, fluffy gave a good introduction to it, its more of an suggestion.

I just saw that Tyler has 8.8 million subs...I subbed a long time ago, but was shocked to see how many he has now, so I looked it up -- as of Feb 15th, the total was 3.7 million. You mean to tell me that 5.1 MILLION people subbed in the last 6 days?!

And by "Canada" you mean "the Liberal party"

I know it’s messed up but hilarious at the same time. History has pattens but we don’t seem to learn from the past and how to get along and share. And I mean globally not just here in Canada. Let the fun times continue until we change the system.

Does having a visa mean something or is it irrelevant?

brampton? you mean new delhi?

I agree 100%..we are ALL brought here in hopes of a better life..which means one must assimulate to the countries belief systems and customes..while maintaning your own at the same time..assimulation is just respecting all people.

Don't you mean Bramalesh.

One man that said "the price was right so I came".... he couldn't possibly mean affordability in Canada sooo yeah that's pretty much what we figured. Definitely paid voters and changers.

Explain to me why this couldn't be achieved without Pierre? He lost his seat...you mean to tell me the party couldn't be a party without him?

I mean this is mostly all of Canada...

What do they mean when they say Canadian culture? What are examples of participating in it?

Temporary means a specific amount of time! Once the time has run out that means one needs to prepare to return to where one came from. Not assuming one has automatically gained citizenship finishing the temporary workers permits/visa. Time's up,time to carry on!

Temporary means temporary

Does this mean I might get a job at Tim Hortons

You mean they drive like they did back home?

If one is against flooding, it doesnt means he is against water.

1:27 better future means a better future for Canada as well. You should contribute something back also.

You mean 296 of the couple of million that aren’t supposed to be here?

That’s the harsh reality. During Trudeau’s time, Canada saw a significant influx of newcomers, which put pressure on housing, the labour market, and healthcare. It’s normal for a country to tighten immigration for a few years; lower quotas naturally mean higher requirements. Coming on a study permit or a work permit doesn’t guarantee permanent residency. Once a temporary status expires, and if there’s no other legal pathway to stay, the person must leave Canada.

So ..... they came on visa and that doesnt mean they decide weather to stay.

8% of "only the people we asked" means there's probably millions, not 80K

The first problem is that no country has a long range plan: where do they want to be on 20/50/100 years. The basic economic plan is for growth but this is not sustainable. Reduced birth rates mean that immigration is needed, if only to reduce the impact of an aging population and to reduce the demands on the young adult population. This should be aimed at getting to a sustainable state but no government is planning for it. They only plan for the current electoral cycle.

Think what that means to housing, health care, schools even traffic!!!
