"COVID is an opportunity for a reset, this is our chance" World Economic Forum .. Trudeau speaks

[Gilroy]

This country was built by immigrants, that is a fact, and immigration is essential to our future success, as we grow. ALL of our economical growth must be managed by immigrants ... our current employment base can only sustain current economy and in fact is struggling to keep up with the rapid loss of labor to retirement (of baby boomers) ... so immigration in my mind, is a must.

HOWEVER ... there's a right way to do it, and a wrong way ... hand outs seems to be the wrong way ... it's not how it was done when our fore-fathers came here ... they got their ticket to the country, but then had to WORK to put food on the table ... no hand outs.

See this article, which discusses the success of privately sponsored immigrants vs. government sponsored (who get hand outs):

"Over half of adult PSRs (52.8 percent) reported that they were currently employed in Canada, compared with just 9.7 percent of Syrian GARs."

Different times my friend,when immigrants came in your fathers time the whole economy was different.Employers were a little more kind hearted ,now its a cut throat world. I have no problems with my taxes going to help refugees and new immigrants to Canada, and so apparently do another 2/3 of the Canadian population.That is why we have back to back Liberal Government's supported by the NDP,I guess you need to get used to it.Are we to turn away Syrian refugees at the border because our current
employment base cannot accommodate them. Should we send them back to Syria where Assad will murder them.
Not very Christian.

I know I shouldn't but the conversation on this thread from both sides has given me a case of the giggles.

Those here who worship trudeadbeat speak of giving to the whole world, everyone in need. Others speak of looking after you and yours.

If we take just one second to reflect on some of the latest, trudeadbeat preaches on your dime yet, he steals money from the Canadian taxpayer and who does he give it to? Did WE give the money to the needy, no, it went to our bone head leaders family. Even turdboy looks after his own first!

Truth is, if everyone looked after their own, all would be looked after.

Good, that counts me out. I worship....nothing or nobody. I want to help those, who for various reasons cannot help themselves, not those who are unwilling.

Then maybe you should tell your village idiot to start helping Canadians first. FN kids having to live in utter squalor, no drinkable water and mould covered homes is a damned national disgrace ! Yet your idol keeps sending our tax dollars to third world crap holes, and is bent on importing more immigrants that want to make this country into a third world crap hole from whence they came !!!
Im sure even you can recognize a problem there.....or maybe not !!

Why don't you help your fellow liberals in Peel and buy them some masks. They are not getting the message, and obviously are not wearing them and spreading the virus. Cultural parties, big weddings home built casinos with no regards for the laws.
These are the new Canadians that you speak so highly of....lol

Why do you refuse to believe that conservative mayor of Brampton, former leader of the party. It is getting spread at work.

Those FN children were living in squalor while Harper had a majority government as well. He also had plenty of time to fix it. Why not? If you say it has been that way for decades, Harper was Prime Minister for 9 of those 20 years. Well?

Typical Liebral baffle garb..... blame Harper !! Are you sure it wasn’t Harris’ fault as well ??? The facts are, your Liein’ King in Ottawa has made promise after promise, and has done squat !!!!! The POS is beneath contempt, but you just keep drinking’ the Kool Aid !!!!
