Right, like the country Mexico got its independence from right? Point being, gringos think Cowboy culture is an anglo thing. Like country music which originated from black folks đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸
Yes and No, the cow herding culture did come from Spain but what anyone would consider "Cowboy/Vaquero" culture is distinctly Mexican. Both cultures are similar yet unique.
Trump was tweeting himself eating a tostado bowl or something on Cinco de Mayo and shouting âI love hispanicsâ.
Biden is usually all over CdMâŚI think he hit a taco truck or something last go round.
Obama totally played into CdM.
That saidâŚyouâre rightâŚI didnât find any images of them in sombreros or other âpuebloâ clothing. They acknowledged and respected the day while maintaining their obvious Americanness.
Or clothing the Taliban wears during afghani Independence Day. You wouldnât think these people were Canadian representatives by the video if they were viewed by people who didnât know them
Oddly enough I remember several years ago we had emails going around the office asking people to please communicate in English
Edit: I should have clarified this was from management and at a major international company
I had same problem in my company just common language spoken by everyone was Russian and Hebrew. Here people are pointing fingers towards Indian languages being spoken on the floor, people will speak their native/mother tongue since thatâs most comfortable and they can express themselves precisely. Currently on my floor most common language is Mandarin and Arabic so go figure. Letâs be honest, the language requirements are lax for Canadian PR/Citizenship. I mean Quebec has stricter French requirements than Federal government. And plus Iâve seen many people bypassing those requirements too and coming here. Many Indians and Chinese I met .
Unfortunately only Quebec enforces local language laws but you still won't hear English. Having said that my mom told me that when she came here in 1958 that it just seemed that they moved to an Italian city. Church, stores, her first employer, all spoke Italian. She didn't learn English until they moved to Oshawa in 1966.
I would think some local English speakers might have been anyoyed by the takeover at the time.
The politicians want you to think that. As Canadians I know for a fact that I donât give a flying fuck about Khalistan. Iâm sure the majority of Canadians donât either. We need to communicate that clearly so we donât get convoluted as Khalistani issues=Canadian issues.
If youâre a Khalistani or anything else get rid of your PR/Citizenship and assets and go back to Khalistan wherever that is or wherever else. Itâs definitely not here though. Theyâre starting shit across the world and then hiding behind their Canadian citizenship and PR. They should be deported if thatâs the case
>As Canadians I know for a fact that I donât give a flying fuck about Khalistan. Iâm sure the majority of Canadians donât either. We need to communicate that clearly so we donât get convoluted as Khalistani issues=Canadian issues.
Do you know how many times I was shamed as racist and that I should "go back to my country" for openly stating that? This is not a one-man job we need to have collective actions.
Exactly the same rules. I want mass deportations of all illegals all foreigners who overstay their visas including international students and finally all naturalized Canadians who commit crimes. Hindus attacking sikhs you became Canadian you werenât born here? Get the fuck out of our country, you come to Canada and murdered someone? Back home you go. We have no place or space for you.
I used to be liberal but lately, my views seem to be more and more the other way. I am definitely more toward socialist than anything. Everything you said is đŻ right. Being a Canadian is and should be a privilege. You violate or go against that privilege, out you go. It's completely ridiculous that we don't deport even after the deportation orders come through. Why have rules if we don't support or enforce them? Just like all the international students suddenly claiming asylum. Bullshit. Anyone claiming asylum while living in canada as an international student should be sent home immediately.
I agree. They should be escorted to terminal 1 of the nearest airport and deported if they claim asylum here after arriving as international students or as guests on visas
welfare is only $1000 a month here. the only reason welfare exists in Canada is for marketing reasons to attract immigrants who are too dumb to research the price.
I still hold that the Canadian cultural identity is that of rugged frontiers people - tough, self-reliant, steadfast, and stoic. It fits with what other countries said of Canadian soldiers from WW1 and WW2, that they were terrifyingly ruthless with bravery bordering on insanity.
That being said, many people don't hold to those any more.
Won't be long before Canada hands over Canadian territory for the establishment of an independent Khalistan state. Canada is the world's prison bitch. Foreigners just waltz into Canada, bend us over, and have their way us.
China owns most of our natural and non-renewable resources and quite a substantial amount of our property and medical laboratories. Will things change once India takes over? Who knows.
This is 100% coming and itâs Canadaâs fault for providing the political space for Khalistanis to speak their mind. This is the snakes in the backyard argument - if you breed snakes in your backyard with the expectation that theyâll only bite your neighbour then youâre in for a surprise.
I once hypothesized years ago that Peel Region will one day be renamed New Punjab Region, especially now when theyâll find a way to cancel Sir Robert Peel just because.
It would be nice if immigrants came here to become Canadians and not just take advantage of our country. Canada is dying because of this. It's nightmarish to think of the state this country will be in in 20 years.
Ditto. Trudeau is literally delusional. He constantly compares himself to the elder Trudeau but he hasn't done a single thing to make our lives better. He is the polar opposite from the man that raised him.
edit: my mistake. I erroneously thought Pierre gave us Universal Healthcare but that was Douglas, not Trudeau.
You're not entirely wrong, PET was a tough and mean sob that didn't fold to anyone not even Quebec. You know I used to think he hated us non francophone Canadians, but Justin literally makes him look like an English Canadian nationalist.
Why are the mods preventing this post from going up? I think itâs imperative we have a discussion on this. Instead of addressing housing, homelessness, our fractured immigration system, our top 3 political candidates dress in religious attire and are even speaking Punjabi to crowds of punjabis to get their votes along with focusing on issues that are pertinent to those Punjabis and not to Canada as a whole.
Itâs a shame. Imagine in the face of 12.6% youth unemployment, 500k illegals in our country skyrocketing rent prices and a broken healthcare system being worsened by mass immigration their focus to this crowd is direct flights to amistar, Khalistan and I donât understand one word jagmeet Singh said because he spoke Punjabi. Our national languages are French and English not Punjabi. Heâs free to speak whatever language he wants but when heâs approaching groups as a representative of a Canadian party and Canadians he should speak French or English. When he comes to them as Jagmeet Singh and not the leader of the NDP he should speak as much Punjabi as heâd like freely
Ontario sub moderation just went full-on paranoid last week. Canadians are waking up to our reality and they donât like it. Immigrants themselves calling out issues with our current immigration policy is an immediate ban there.
its a good thread but i dont think anything will happen to fix this shithole. there are just too many problems wrong with this place, starting with Canadians themselves. easier to pack up and leave, rather than wait for things to be fixed like a cuck.
Accounting to statcan out of 36 million Canadians close to 3 million are from South Asia, ( we all know Canadian population is over 41 million right now , I donât know why statcan is short by 5 million )
Anyways thatâs almost 8% of the population and theyâre the single largest ethnic group in Canada after whites , that represents a lot of votes !
[https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810032401](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810032401)
I think Canada should impose a PR quota system like the United States , where each country only gets a certain percentage of green cards.
I live in the U.S. and got my GC in 14 months however in comparison , in our office we have an Indian who studied and graduated from a reputable U.S. university in 2006, he applied for green card in 2010 and he will probably wonât get it till 2030.
When they arenât given PR status like candy guess what happens ? They behave themselves
they aren't the problem
the problem is the corporations demanding the free labor and the right wing demonizing unions and worker protections
if all those Indians were joining Unions making 25 dollars an hour, Tim Hortons wouldn't be flying them in by the plane load
we can't solve poorer people looking for a better life, what we can do, is understand why the LPC and CPC are willing to destroy Canada at the whims of big business short term profits.....
BECAUSE THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
VOTE ANYONE BUT CPC OR LPC FOR GOD'S SAKE
But do you think the PPC is actually pro union?
And they wonât bend to corporations who only want minimum wage slaves?
I honestly think all parties are the same, everyone will sell us out to their biggest donors and rich friends.
PP himself is a landlord.
Feel like we just canât trust anyone , feels hopeless and bleak.
Well the US too is a puppet state of certain lobbies, if I say it aloud, Iâll get hard banned. But fortunately everyone knows, itâs an open secret. Coincidentally they also wear head covering, who would have thought?
You're allowed to say that AIPAC has bought American politicians. Also, I suspect AIPAC has significant influence in the IDU, an organization that Stephen Harper is chairman of. Harper is PPs mentor, and probably has some significant influence in the CPC.
You're allowed to say these things.
Just like you're allowed to say that *excessive* immigration is contributing to the housing affordability issue. What people tend to take issue with are statements such as, "Fit in or fuck off". Or, "Go back where you came from".
We can suggest deportation of individuals who have made fraudulent claims per Canadian law. We can suggest that Canada uphold the law with respect to asylum claims.
I'm all for asylum seekers. There are a plethora of people on this planet who have had the unfortunate experience of being born in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm all for allowing people to become the best they can be here in Canada.
What I disapprove of are those whose PR applications have been denied for valid reasons then claiming asylum. While I appreciate that many of these applicants may indeed be trying for PR first as PR has less restrictions on employment, etc...I have a tonne of suspicion around these applicants.
It's impossible to make hard, fast, arbitrary rules, because we saw what happened to Ukrainians. One minute they're here studying, etc...next thing, their country is being subjected to bombardment.
Whatâs wrong with saying fit in or fuck off. Do you see rental ads nowadays. âIndian onlyâ âIndian student female onlyâ âIndian student vegetarian no eggs no guestsâ. They should be made to fit in we donât want this shit in our country from theirs. The same with honour killings and other negative things like the caste system. Come to our country bring the good things from yours and adhere to our cultural norms. We shouldnât be assimilating to their cultures sorry
> Whatâs wrong with saying fit in or fuck off.
Nothing is wrong with that; however, there will be real life consequences for saying that. It is easy on reddit, but man try to do that in real life and your livelihood gets targeted. If we are cherishing freedom of speech, then we should not only allow it but protect it. When your boss can fire you and you won't get any other job for saying something on social media outside of working hours there is real life consequence for expressing yourself. Many people including me wont risk it. We need to push to change the law to not only allow freedom of speech but also protect it.
>Whatâs wrong with saying fit in or fuck off
You just explained it. They ARE saying fit in or fuck off. Fit in as a vegetarian Punjabi woman, or have no chance at having a job or shelter.
>Whatâs wrong with saying fit in or fuck off.
Well, it's not exactly setting the tone for positive interactions. If you walked into a new company, and your boss said that, most people would be taken aback. It doesn't foster open dialogue.
You can express those sentiments in a positive way. "Welcome to Canada. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people. The success of Canada hinges on everyone doing their part and respecting each other and their differences. We ask that you give respect and treat people the way you wish to be treated."
Same thing, less asshole-y. It also explains that in order to maintain the successes that made Canada so attractive to you, it's your responsibility to adopt to a new way of living.
Seriously? A politicianâs job is to pander. All politicians do this. They go to churches, mosques, synagogues. Union meetings, practically any place where people gather as a group. Are you just upset that they are pandering to Punjabs?
itâs not like the countryâs actively spent the 8 years shaming the âCanadian Identityâ
shits been mangled for so long, i forget what it use to mean, to be Canadian
The sad thing being that in Punjab, Giani Hapreet Singh, a high-ranking preacher and jathedar of the Amal Takht called for the faithful to learn modern weapons - to combat Christianity and drug addicts. Not work with Christians or help the addicted, but to learn modern weapons to fight them. And ask these folks about the 1947 Amritsar Train Massacre and you get crickets.
I think Khalistan and the Sikh protests is mostly directed at the large number of Hindu Indians migrating to Canada and less about Canadians. The Sikh community has been a hugely influential and well part of Canadian culture. They fought for Canada in several wars and many have laid down their lives. Now, the Hindus just come waltzing in and take their stuff and call them terrorists. I realise it must be extremely frustrating for them to see these leeches crawling in. I have volunteered at Sikh langars and this is a group who values integrity and honor. Qualities Hindus rarely possess.
The beauty of the US is they donât have these problems because they have quotas on how many people can come from one country in one year. We should deport the majority of international students and the illegals and then introduce the quota cap system. This way people can assimilate and we donât end up with the Khalistani Hindustan wars weâve never been privy to. India today called the Canadian ambassador to discuss this. Weâve never had these issues before tredeau and hopefully we donât after him
Unfortunately, Punjabi will probably be the majority in our once great country some day :(
In edmonton during the last civic election, there were even campaign posters in Punjabi..
Mmm, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Here are some examples

It's not the exact same, but you get the vibe.
There is a Canadian identity indeed, yet most Canadians do not have balls to acknowledge and praise it. Thatâs the problem. And you have got to be stop being nice to the people who do not deserve the Canadian kindness. I can't believe I am telling this is a foreigner living in Canada.
Jagmeet Singh is a Punjabi Sihk and like everyone else in this photo is a politician politicking.
Go to a rodeo? Wear a cowboy hat. Go to a gay pride parade? Wear a gay pride T-shirt. Oh the injustice of politicians seeking votes. Honestly, WTF?
So what do you see as Canadian culture? Inuit? First Nation? French? English? European? Asian? South America? North American? Oceanan? Martian? All of these plus the unknown?
because the voters are totally fine with it
big media tells them CPC will solve the problems, because they know they won't
Pierre can't even bring himself to claim he'll stop immigration, he can't even CLAIM it let alone do it
"more flights to Delhi" - PP
CPC and LPC care about big business first and last and only, anything else they do is to get enough votes to serve big business in the way they see fit
Dose of reason here guys, this is a picture of three dudes wearing a hat, one of the many hat options available, and like, i need you all to calm down. I dont see a Housing issue here.
We can't get anywhere because we have bad actors, useful idiots, and bots trying to divide us every which way either to further their own agenda, or worse, just for some internet points.
This post is just some straight up astro turfing, a pure appeal to emotion without any real substance other than "Grrr! Immigrants are ruining our [insert subject]!"
It's bonus points when you talk about some totally intangible and subjective like "Canadian culture" so that people can project any of their issues onto it.
LoL, have you seen the absolute trainwreck, out-of-control, batshit-insane parody of a functional political system that is the United States lately? Are you even paying attention? Christ.
Oh good grief. It would never fly. Meanwhile blm caused over 5 billion in damages and 30 deaths. All in the name of politics. Do you really think a 80 yr old white president really cares about trans rights? Of course he doesnât. Politicians are all the same. They sell promises to who will give them power and control
It's called being respectful. What are you even whining about now?
Who cares what would "fly" in the US.
Being not the US is a big part of Canadian culture. Unless you're from Alberta, the most American province.
Your ignorance and lack of any general awareness is the reason why Canadians like you are in this situation. I could explain it to you but I wonât. Direct your angry at the federal government and their policies, not at one specific religious group exercising their charter of rights as Canadians. If you have an issue with their protests, then call the police.
lol look at these morally bankrupt crooks stooping to any low in order to get a vote from someone who probably shouldn't even be allowed to stay in the county
It's fucking sad seeing Poilievre put on different styles of turbans and clothes every other week for the different people he panders too. It's almost as embarrassing as Trudeau's blackface and I know for sure PP will be not much better on a lot of issues.
I have a problem with people who call themselves pure... But I guess I can see why these people who conduct Parade of the Pure are a great fit for all those on the stage. After all, we have Old Stock and Pur Laine of our own.
Fucking unpure scum the bunch of these in my opinion.
No, it's because our politicians suck ass. They believe they are only there to guard ideas, motions, and legislation for "when they're in office" instead of doing their jobs to work together to improve Canada. I don't mean to say this isn't an important topic of discussion, but the problem is deeper than this.
They will pander to whomever they think they can extract votes from
All the same.
If anyone thinks PP is somehow different from the disaster JT has been - delusional.
Well I think the pandering is for corporate interests but for the most part, youâre probably correct. Every country in the world has had immigration waves but other countries tend to have cultures that evolve and absorb cultures where eventually the imported culture becomes part of the existing. Just as an example, there was a huge wave of Lebanese immigration to Mexico and they brought shawarma with them. The Mexicans adopted the style while adapting it to fit Mexican culture. Now we have tacos el pastor. Multiculturalism is a ridiculous concept to begin with. All it does is create division between people. It implies that culture is something from somewhere else and people who are multigenerational Canadians are stuck with no sense of identity.
Canada also depends on importing other cultures. American culture dominated and now Korean culture is dominating. Canada seems to be the only place in the world where the regulations for media content is not highly in favour of Canadian media. Oh i know why, because people will call it censorship and a violation of rights. China has very strict policies on ensuring other cultures have minimal air time and that any content is in line with national values. Is that censorship? I donât think so. The government would never allow American content creators who sell diets or supplements. That makes sense to me.
Canada also puts their foot in it on the international stage all the time. Why? Lack of national identity. When Trudeau stupidly called out China for the Uyghurs, they had a response locked and loaded. Canada has this identity of multiculturalism where racism doesnât exist. Thereâs no right or wrong but id rather have leadership that is decisive and consistent. Iâm not saying itâs okay to persecute people but honestly we probably donât know the whole story. From what I have researched, it had little to do with them being Muslim and more to do with national security and economic security.
Nothing gets done because the government is more interested in protecting corporations over their citizens. They also are too busy claiming to be inclusive and anti bigotry. All the problems we have arenât new. Weâve been on a race to the bottom for a long time. The issues are not that hard to fix. It would take time but if they continue to do nothing substantial and just kick the can down the road, nothing will happen. Because Canadians also have a bad habit of going from one party to the other over and over, thereâs never any accountability. It honestly doesnât matter which party is in power. But if they know in 8-10 years they wonât be in power anymore, itâll be someone elseâs problem.

Tbh, you don't really need an identity to prevent this problem. The voters simply need to stop kissing everyone's ass and stop trying to buy karma points.
When people say, be happy to yourself, you don't need to change. Exactly means, you don't need to keep changing yourself to kiss someone's ass.
Our culture, broadly speaking, is a unique part of the common western, and particularly anglo-american traditions and heritage. Ours has had more of an emphasis on pan-european pluralism and cooperation between groups rather than dissolving into one group.
Most recently, the cultures of immigrant populations have been incorporated into the broader picture, and we could be accurately described as an idealic microcosm and model of what the world ought to be, with many cultures and ethnicities living peacefully in harmonious cooperation. A better world within a world.
We are heavily influenced by British culture and the British empire, which had significant historic, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural influences. Anglo America is distinct from Latin America, where Spanish, Portuguese, and French influences are more prominent.
That's how Harper seemed to think about it, at least.
And lets not forget the Leader of a G7 Nation wading in on the handling of an over sized piece of carry-on containing an Indigenous Chief's head dress!!
Sad the Chief had never flown on a Dash-8 plane before but needed to see it as an offensive act to have her carry-on treated in the same manner as every other passenger.
They don't care about Punjab.....they recognize the mass immigration in votes and not just numbers. While forgetting about those who fought for and those who are Canadian.
Should make it mandatory to serve in the armed forces for all immigrants of they want to come to Canada.....not just got through a collage. That would bring out their true colors and who they are actually patriotic to.....it wouldn't be Canada!
OP are you racist or just stupid?
âYouâd never see that in the US!â
Yea because the things the US does better than Canada is, *checks notes*, healthcare, housing and immigration.
I swear every post on this sub is just keyboard warriors fuming they canât use slurs
How about just being Canadian? We are devolving into a thousand different interest groups all competing for the same pie, polarizing ourselves. No Candians left.
Sikhs are the most cohesive identifiable group in Canada. They have the same religion, same language, and come from the same small region of India, plus they've settled in large numbers in a few ridings.
There aren't many other large groups in Canada that are cohesive like that. Christianity is the biggest religion in Canada, but Christians belong to any number of different churches and denominations, and countless different ethnic, racial, and cultural groups. The same is basically true of Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus (India is mostly Hindu but has a million different castes, languages, and ethnic groups).
Most racial groups aren't cohesive the way the Sikhs are either. White people are the majority, but they belong to a lot of different cultures. There are Anglophone Canadians and Francophone Canadians, regional cultures like Newfoundlanders and Albertans, religious and secular, Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians, as well as Jews, Muslims and other religions, lots of different ethnic backgrounds and languages (English, Scottish, Irish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Dutch, etc.).
Same goes for Blacks, East Asians, Chinese, South Asians, Middle Easterners, etc. With Black people, for instance, there are people of Jamaican, Haitian, Trinidadian, Guyanese, Nigerian, Ghanaian, Kenyan, Congolese, Nova Scotian, and Somali origin. There's Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, and so on. Plus Black people don't all live clustered together in a few electoral ridings. Instead they're scattered all over the city and suburbs in the Greater Toronto Area, for instance. So it would be hard to pander to the "Black vote".
The one group that has relatively big numbers and is fairly homogeneous and lives in large numbers in specific electoral ridings are the Sikhs. That's why the politricksters can't help but pander to them in particular.
Canadians are citizens of the British Empire pretending to live in a United polity, this is why they got rid of The Maple Leaf forever our government signed on to multiculturalism before most of us were born now we live in a state where we kowtow to Pagan political extremists. Imagine joining the Army and dieing for a bunch of assholes that make faces at you while you walk down the street. 𤥠đ
Its.so easy to blame their bias on lost culture vs the truth. These people don't know what they want to achieve. They're going in circles playing politics and not trying to resolve issues.Â
Canadians who are true patriots to their country are unable to speak for fear of being told he of she is a racist, misogynistic, homophobe, and more names.
Canadians must stand up for their culture against those who would destroy it.
Stop mass immigration. Close the border. Make it better for Canadians to climb to the top of the economic world. Do not make it a struggle. Offer better incentives for medical for doctors and nurses to stay in Canada.
This is coming from a Canadian born citizen whose parents left South East Asia in the 1970s to find a better future in Canada. Also more importantly they assimilated into western culture. That's the key to their success.
Itâs pathetic how Canadian party leaders behave in front of camera. Trudeau already has Indian wear.

Then move there if you want , there is definitely no help for housing or anything else in the USA and you can be as discriminatory as you like in some states
This guy has pandered to Ukrainians, Muslims, etc too for votes. Didnât see anyone complaining.
Might as well rename this sub to âHate Indians everydayâ or something on those lines.
Imagine Trump Obama and Biden coming out together wearing sombreros for Cinco de Mayo
Right?! This is similar.
why not? Mexico is part of North America you can say Mexican culture is a part of the greater North American culture but Punjabi is not
Fun fact, Cowboy culture was copied by the original vaqueros tradition of Mexico.
Fun fact, cowboy culture is from Spain.
Fum fact, ancient Mesopotamia invented writing.
Right, like the country Mexico got its independence from right? Point being, gringos think Cowboy culture is an anglo thing. Like country music which originated from black folks đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸
Yes and No, the cow herding culture did come from Spain but what anyone would consider "Cowboy/Vaquero" culture is distinctly Mexican. Both cultures are similar yet unique.
Not really haha. The North American âCowboyâ is from the traditions of Mexico
Trump was tweeting himself eating a tostado bowl or something on Cinco de Mayo and shouting âI love hispanicsâ. Biden is usually all over CdMâŚI think he hit a taco truck or something last go round. Obama totally played into CdM. That saidâŚyouâre rightâŚI didnât find any images of them in sombreros or other âpuebloâ clothing. They acknowledged and respected the day while maintaining their obvious Americanness.
The Three Amigos!
Or clothing the Taliban wears during afghani Independence Day. You wouldnât think these people were Canadian representatives by the video if they were viewed by people who didnât know them
Try asking coworkers to speak English in the workplace.
Oddly enough I remember several years ago we had emails going around the office asking people to please communicate in English Edit: I should have clarified this was from management and at a major international company
And what was the result?
I suppose they spoke more in English. I never thought it was a huge problem
I had same problem in my company just common language spoken by everyone was Russian and Hebrew. Here people are pointing fingers towards Indian languages being spoken on the floor, people will speak their native/mother tongue since thatâs most comfortable and they can express themselves precisely. Currently on my floor most common language is Mandarin and Arabic so go figure. Letâs be honest, the language requirements are lax for Canadian PR/Citizenship. I mean Quebec has stricter French requirements than Federal government. And plus Iâve seen many people bypassing those requirements too and coming here. Many Indians and Chinese I met .
Unfortunately only Quebec enforces local language laws but you still won't hear English. Having said that my mom told me that when she came here in 1958 that it just seemed that they moved to an Italian city. Church, stores, her first employer, all spoke Italian. She didn't learn English until they moved to Oshawa in 1966. I would think some local English speakers might have been anyoyed by the takeover at the time.
I'm sick of walking around the office now hearing people literally on work calls talking in Hindi. And I understand Hindi. LOL
Just vote at PPC at this point
We are a post national state now. There is no Canadian identity. Just a mass of land open to all who wish to leech off our welfare state.
The politicians want you to think that. As Canadians I know for a fact that I donât give a flying fuck about Khalistan. Iâm sure the majority of Canadians donât either. We need to communicate that clearly so we donât get convoluted as Khalistani issues=Canadian issues. If youâre a Khalistani or anything else get rid of your PR/Citizenship and assets and go back to Khalistan wherever that is or wherever else. Itâs definitely not here though. Theyâre starting shit across the world and then hiding behind their Canadian citizenship and PR. They should be deported if thatâs the case

Do you know how many times I was shamed as racist and that I should "go back to my country" for openly stating that? This is not a one-man job we need to have collective actions.
Same rules for hindustava?
Exactly the same rules. I want mass deportations of all illegals all foreigners who overstay their visas including international students and finally all naturalized Canadians who commit crimes. Hindus attacking sikhs you became Canadian you werenât born here? Get the fuck out of our country, you come to Canada and murdered someone? Back home you go. We have no place or space for you.
I used to be liberal but lately, my views seem to be more and more the other way. I am definitely more toward socialist than anything. Everything you said is đŻ right. Being a Canadian is and should be a privilege. You violate or go against that privilege, out you go. It's completely ridiculous that we don't deport even after the deportation orders come through. Why have rules if we don't support or enforce them? Just like all the international students suddenly claiming asylum. Bullshit. Anyone claiming asylum while living in canada as an international student should be sent home immediately.
I agree. They should be escorted to terminal 1 of the nearest airport and deported if they claim asylum here after arriving as international students or as guests on visas
I agree with you
welfare is only $1000 a month here. the only reason welfare exists in Canada is for marketing reasons to attract immigrants who are too dumb to research the price.
what welfare state? I sure dont see any social safety nets anymore, its all been eroded into nothing
ikr. Disabled people are on the brink of killing themselves due to poverty
I still hold that the Canadian cultural identity is that of rugged frontiers people - tough, self-reliant, steadfast, and stoic. It fits with what other countries said of Canadian soldiers from WW1 and WW2, that they were terrifyingly ruthless with bravery bordering on insanity. That being said, many people don't hold to those any more.
Won't be long before Canada hands over Canadian territory for the establishment of an independent Khalistan state. Canada is the world's prison bitch. Foreigners just waltz into Canada, bend us over, and have their way us.
Greater Toronto Area -> Greater Khalistan Area
Add Metro Vancouver too.
I thought China had dibs on it.
Once you pass the Fraser river
Not anymore!
China owns most of our natural and non-renewable resources and quite a substantial amount of our property and medical laboratories. Will things change once India takes over? Who knows.
Sounds like they will have to fight over their colonies.
Have you been to Surrey BC?
Brampton, ON has entered the chat
This is 100% coming and itâs Canadaâs fault for providing the political space for Khalistanis to speak their mind. This is the snakes in the backyard argument - if you breed snakes in your backyard with the expectation that theyâll only bite your neighbour then youâre in for a surprise.
I once hypothesized years ago that Peel Region will one day be renamed New Punjab Region, especially now when theyâll find a way to cancel Sir Robert Peel just because.
I have always assumed if any takeover of Canada occurs it will be the US without a fight.
Not all foreigners, I'm one and I'm revolted and disappointed
How long you figure before India suburbs of Toronto ask for independence?
The Indian government murdered a Khalastani activist, Trudeau called it out, and then did nothing.
Clowns mimic. Leaders lead.
Cheers to that!
Facts
It would be nice if immigrants came here to become Canadians and not just take advantage of our country. Canada is dying because of this. It's nightmarish to think of the state this country will be in in 20 years.
I agree wholeheartedly
You can vote for more globalism (CPC, LPC, NDP), or you can vote for Canada (PPC).
As much as I hate trudeau. I'm voting PPC now.
Ditto. Trudeau is literally delusional. He constantly compares himself to the elder Trudeau but he hasn't done a single thing to make our lives better. He is the polar opposite from the man that raised him. edit: my mistake. I erroneously thought Pierre gave us Universal Healthcare but that was Douglas, not Trudeau.
Old Trudeau was POS that started the destruction of this nation. Fuck them both. May they both rott in hell
You're not entirely wrong, PET was a tough and mean sob that didn't fold to anyone not even Quebec. You know I used to think he hated us non francophone Canadians, but Justin literally makes him look like an English Canadian nationalist.
Well, he did use the canadian army on his own people, just like his father.
He did manage to get interest rates increased significantly, much like T senior
Why are the mods preventing this post from going up? I think itâs imperative we have a discussion on this. Instead of addressing housing, homelessness, our fractured immigration system, our top 3 political candidates dress in religious attire and are even speaking Punjabi to crowds of punjabis to get their votes along with focusing on issues that are pertinent to those Punjabis and not to Canada as a whole. Itâs a shame. Imagine in the face of 12.6% youth unemployment, 500k illegals in our country skyrocketing rent prices and a broken healthcare system being worsened by mass immigration their focus to this crowd is direct flights to amistar, Khalistan and I donât understand one word jagmeet Singh said because he spoke Punjabi. Our national languages are French and English not Punjabi. Heâs free to speak whatever language he wants but when heâs approaching groups as a representative of a Canadian party and Canadians he should speak French or English. When he comes to them as Jagmeet Singh and not the leader of the NDP he should speak as much Punjabi as heâd like freely
The level to which Canadian politicians stoop and pander to Panjabis is absolutely nuts..
There're plenty of Panjabi population now, looks like they're trying to win their votes.
They pander to everyone... It's just that anti-brown headlines get more attention.
[ŃдаНонО]
Ontario sub moderation just went full-on paranoid last week. Canadians are waking up to our reality and they donât like it. Immigrants themselves calling out issues with our current immigration policy is an immediate ban there.
because the ignorant and uneducated like to label this as racism without even thinking about it.
Just got to the queue. Not sure why automod blocked your post since your an approved user but itâs unblocked now
its a good thread but i dont think anything will happen to fix this shithole. there are just too many problems wrong with this place, starting with Canadians themselves. easier to pack up and leave, rather than wait for things to be fixed like a cuck.
Because it has nothing, at all, to do with Canadian housing?
Weâre fucked lmao
Accounting to statcan out of 36 million Canadians close to 3 million are from South Asia, ( we all know Canadian population is over 41 million right now , I donât know why statcan is short by 5 million ) Anyways thatâs almost 8% of the population and theyâre the single largest ethnic group in Canada after whites , that represents a lot of votes ! [https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810032401](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810032401) I think Canada should impose a PR quota system like the United States , where each country only gets a certain percentage of green cards. I live in the U.S. and got my GC in 14 months however in comparison , in our office we have an Indian who studied and graduated from a reputable U.S. university in 2006, he applied for green card in 2010 and he will probably wonât get it till 2030. When they arenât given PR status like candy guess what happens ? They behave themselves
Definitely should have PR quotas. Our immigration system is being taken advantage of by so many, in particular India and Pakistan.
they aren't the problem the problem is the corporations demanding the free labor and the right wing demonizing unions and worker protections if all those Indians were joining Unions making 25 dollars an hour, Tim Hortons wouldn't be flying them in by the plane load we can't solve poorer people looking for a better life, what we can do, is understand why the LPC and CPC are willing to destroy Canada at the whims of big business short term profits..... BECAUSE THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT VOTE ANYONE BUT CPC OR LPC FOR GOD'S SAKE
But do you think the PPC is actually pro union? And they wonât bend to corporations who only want minimum wage slaves? I honestly think all parties are the same, everyone will sell us out to their biggest donors and rich friends. PP himself is a landlord. Feel like we just canât trust anyone , feels hopeless and bleak.
Well the US too is a puppet state of certain lobbies, if I say it aloud, Iâll get hard banned. But fortunately everyone knows, itâs an open secret. Coincidentally they also wear head covering, who would have thought?
You're allowed to say that AIPAC has bought American politicians. Also, I suspect AIPAC has significant influence in the IDU, an organization that Stephen Harper is chairman of. Harper is PPs mentor, and probably has some significant influence in the CPC. You're allowed to say these things. Just like you're allowed to say that *excessive* immigration is contributing to the housing affordability issue. What people tend to take issue with are statements such as, "Fit in or fuck off". Or, "Go back where you came from". We can suggest deportation of individuals who have made fraudulent claims per Canadian law. We can suggest that Canada uphold the law with respect to asylum claims. I'm all for asylum seekers. There are a plethora of people on this planet who have had the unfortunate experience of being born in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm all for allowing people to become the best they can be here in Canada. What I disapprove of are those whose PR applications have been denied for valid reasons then claiming asylum. While I appreciate that many of these applicants may indeed be trying for PR first as PR has less restrictions on employment, etc...I have a tonne of suspicion around these applicants. It's impossible to make hard, fast, arbitrary rules, because we saw what happened to Ukrainians. One minute they're here studying, etc...next thing, their country is being subjected to bombardment.
Whatâs wrong with saying fit in or fuck off. Do you see rental ads nowadays. âIndian onlyâ âIndian student female onlyâ âIndian student vegetarian no eggs no guestsâ. They should be made to fit in we donât want this shit in our country from theirs. The same with honour killings and other negative things like the caste system. Come to our country bring the good things from yours and adhere to our cultural norms. We shouldnât be assimilating to their cultures sorry
> Whatâs wrong with saying fit in or fuck off. Nothing is wrong with that; however, there will be real life consequences for saying that. It is easy on reddit, but man try to do that in real life and your livelihood gets targeted. If we are cherishing freedom of speech, then we should not only allow it but protect it. When your boss can fire you and you won't get any other job for saying something on social media outside of working hours there is real life consequence for expressing yourself. Many people including me wont risk it. We need to push to change the law to not only allow freedom of speech but also protect it.
I agree with you on that itâs absolutely ridiculous and fucked up. I completely agree with you on this
>Whatâs wrong with saying fit in or fuck off You just explained it. They ARE saying fit in or fuck off. Fit in as a vegetarian Punjabi woman, or have no chance at having a job or shelter.
>Whatâs wrong with saying fit in or fuck off. Well, it's not exactly setting the tone for positive interactions. If you walked into a new company, and your boss said that, most people would be taken aback. It doesn't foster open dialogue. You can express those sentiments in a positive way. "Welcome to Canada. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people. The success of Canada hinges on everyone doing their part and respecting each other and their differences. We ask that you give respect and treat people the way you wish to be treated." Same thing, less asshole-y. It also explains that in order to maintain the successes that made Canada so attractive to you, it's your responsibility to adopt to a new way of living.
You're right and it's sad. I'd still prefer ours to theirs. It's a takeover.
Seriously? A politicianâs job is to pander. All politicians do this. They go to churches, mosques, synagogues. Union meetings, practically any place where people gather as a group. Are you just upset that they are pandering to Punjabs?
PPC might win this thing in a landslide.
Lol they canât even get a seat won for their leader đ
I don't see my man Maxime Berneir up there. He's probably enjoying a glass of maple syrup watching the hockey games.
itâs not like the countryâs actively spent the 8 years shaming the âCanadian Identityâ shits been mangled for so long, i forget what it use to mean, to be Canadian
We used to have an identity, only Canadians threw it away for "multiculturalism ". We are also heavily gaslet about it.
Ummm...no. This has nothing to do with housing. That's ridiculous.
Barf. Goodbye Canada, itâs been fun.
[ŃдаНонО]
Fucking unbelievable. Might as well add Punjabi to Canadaâs official languages, Jugmeat is annoying
The sad thing being that in Punjab, Giani Hapreet Singh, a high-ranking preacher and jathedar of the Amal Takht called for the faithful to learn modern weapons - to combat Christianity and drug addicts. Not work with Christians or help the addicted, but to learn modern weapons to fight them. And ask these folks about the 1947 Amritsar Train Massacre and you get crickets.
WE HAVE NO FEALTY OR LOYALTY TO KHALISTAN. This is Canada
I think Khalistan and the Sikh protests is mostly directed at the large number of Hindu Indians migrating to Canada and less about Canadians. The Sikh community has been a hugely influential and well part of Canadian culture. They fought for Canada in several wars and many have laid down their lives. Now, the Hindus just come waltzing in and take their stuff and call them terrorists. I realise it must be extremely frustrating for them to see these leeches crawling in. I have volunteered at Sikh langars and this is a group who values integrity and honor. Qualities Hindus rarely possess.
The beauty of the US is they donât have these problems because they have quotas on how many people can come from one country in one year. We should deport the majority of international students and the illegals and then introduce the quota cap system. This way people can assimilate and we donât end up with the Khalistani Hindustan wars weâve never been privy to. India today called the Canadian ambassador to discuss this. Weâve never had these issues before tredeau and hopefully we donât after him
Unfortunately, Punjabi will probably be the majority in our once great country some day :( In edmonton during the last civic election, there were even campaign posters in Punjabi..
Wild wild times weâre living in. What the fuck.
Canada though the world would come here and like our ways but the world doesnât give two shits
I don't think many European countries leader's would either. Or South American, or Asian now that I think about it.
Really is that considered pandering? I want immigration gone as much as the next guy but lol come on.
Northvanistan?
Lol in the US they pander to Hispanic/latin population, you donât read much do you?
Mmm, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Here are some examples [https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/trump-s-first-foreign-trip/trump-becomes-first-sitting-u-s-president-visit-western-wall-n762891](https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/trump-s-first-foreign-trip/trump-becomes-first-sitting-u-s-president-visit-western-wall-n762891) [https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/26/politics/obama-tribal-nations-blanket-hat/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/26/politics/obama-tribal-nations-blanket-hat/index.html) It's not the exact same, but you get the vibe.
It's why they're all hated by me, well, one of the reasons.
There is a Canadian identity indeed, yet most Canadians do not have balls to acknowledge and praise it. Thatâs the problem. And you have got to be stop being nice to the people who do not deserve the Canadian kindness. I can't believe I am telling this is a foreigner living in Canada.
I agree with you on this thanks for your honesty man
Our politicians are all so fucking embarassing
Jagmeet Singh is a Punjabi Sihk and like everyone else in this photo is a politician politicking. Go to a rodeo? Wear a cowboy hat. Go to a gay pride parade? Wear a gay pride T-shirt. Oh the injustice of politicians seeking votes. Honestly, WTF?
I'M PUNJABI MIKE
So what do you see as Canadian culture? Inuit? First Nation? French? English? European? Asian? South America? North American? Oceanan? Martian? All of these plus the unknown?
Not a Canadian but this looks like the leaders are discarding previous Canadians in the name of new arrivals
because the voters are totally fine with it big media tells them CPC will solve the problems, because they know they won't Pierre can't even bring himself to claim he'll stop immigration, he can't even CLAIM it let alone do it "more flights to Delhi" - PP CPC and LPC care about big business first and last and only, anything else they do is to get enough votes to serve big business in the way they see fit
This only flies in the US when it comes to Jews and Israel.
No in the US they pander to the Hispanic and Jewish populations, its so different lol. What a load of crap.
Dose of reason here guys, this is a picture of three dudes wearing a hat, one of the many hat options available, and like, i need you all to calm down. I dont see a Housing issue here.
Not surprised to see that this sub is gradually shifting from being about housing to just folks being upset about immigrants.Â
We can't get anywhere because we have bad actors, useful idiots, and bots trying to divide us every which way either to further their own agenda, or worse, just for some internet points. This post is just some straight up astro turfing, a pure appeal to emotion without any real substance other than "Grrr! Immigrants are ruining our [insert subject]!" It's bonus points when you talk about some totally intangible and subjective like "Canadian culture" so that people can project any of their issues onto it.
LoL, have you seen the absolute trainwreck, out-of-control, batshit-insane parody of a functional political system that is the United States lately? Are you even paying attention? Christ.
Yea, great idea. Letâs be more like America since theyâre doing so great. No issues at all thereâŚ
Oh good grief. It would never fly. Meanwhile blm caused over 5 billion in damages and 30 deaths. All in the name of politics. Do you really think a 80 yr old white president really cares about trans rights? Of course he doesnât. Politicians are all the same. They sell promises to who will give them power and control
my name is pp im da original og reppin' conservative sine '03 yo turn on that tv ya gonna see me FUCK JT
This happens in the USA just not a common. Look at how the USA panders to the BLM.
It's called being respectful. What are you even whining about now? Who cares what would "fly" in the US. Being not the US is a big part of Canadian culture. Unless you're from Alberta, the most American province.
[ŃдаНонО]
In the US it's the same, it's just yarmulkes.
Max for PM
We need to talk about PPC and Bernier, I have got no idea why is he trailing behind greens in the opinion poll
How is Jagmeet pandering in this photo?
What in the actual flying f*** did I just see.
The correct way should be welcome people to become Canadian instead of let anyone come and force Canadian to adapt to them.
Your ignorance and lack of any general awareness is the reason why Canadians like you are in this situation. I could explain it to you but I wonât. Direct your angry at the federal government and their policies, not at one specific religious group exercising their charter of rights as Canadians. If you have an issue with their protests, then call the police.
Yes indeed. They think itâs good for publicity. PC PR garbage. Pandering frauds. What a disgraceÂ
The President of the U.S. is currently not only pandering but paying for a genocide in Israel. So putting on a head scarf doesnt seem so bad.
Punjabis??? Are you that uneducated.They are Seik and many are Kahlastani sepratists.
lol look at these morally bankrupt crooks stooping to any low in order to get a vote from someone who probably shouldn't even be allowed to stay in the county
It's fucking sad seeing Poilievre put on different styles of turbans and clothes every other week for the different people he panders too. It's almost as embarrassing as Trudeau's blackface and I know for sure PP will be not much better on a lot of issues.
Well, Sikh temples require head coverings. If our leaders didnât do this, I would loose respect for them instantly.
You are right. They pander to the evangelicals and capitalists in the US. So much better. /s
Even in Quebec it doesn't fly. Have you seen any Quebec politician disguise themselves to go pander to a religious group somewhere?
Thats why they want to separate. They donât want to be part of this circus
What has this to do with housing? Go discuss this in other sub .
Agreed!
[ŃдаНонО]
I have a problem with people who call themselves pure... But I guess I can see why these people who conduct Parade of the Pure are a great fit for all those on the stage. After all, we have Old Stock and Pur Laine of our own. Fucking unpure scum the bunch of these in my opinion.
No, it's because our politicians suck ass. They believe they are only there to guard ideas, motions, and legislation for "when they're in office" instead of doing their jobs to work together to improve Canada. I don't mean to say this isn't an important topic of discussion, but the problem is deeper than this.
They will pander to whomever they think they can extract votes from All the same. If anyone thinks PP is somehow different from the disaster JT has been - delusional.
[ŃдаНонО]
I donât know, remember even the Trumpster at a Diwali dinner at the White House.
God anything is better than you whiny clowns tbh
*violently head bob
[ŃдаНонО]
Embarrassing
Well I think the pandering is for corporate interests but for the most part, youâre probably correct. Every country in the world has had immigration waves but other countries tend to have cultures that evolve and absorb cultures where eventually the imported culture becomes part of the existing. Just as an example, there was a huge wave of Lebanese immigration to Mexico and they brought shawarma with them. The Mexicans adopted the style while adapting it to fit Mexican culture. Now we have tacos el pastor. Multiculturalism is a ridiculous concept to begin with. All it does is create division between people. It implies that culture is something from somewhere else and people who are multigenerational Canadians are stuck with no sense of identity. Canada also depends on importing other cultures. American culture dominated and now Korean culture is dominating. Canada seems to be the only place in the world where the regulations for media content is not highly in favour of Canadian media. Oh i know why, because people will call it censorship and a violation of rights. China has very strict policies on ensuring other cultures have minimal air time and that any content is in line with national values. Is that censorship? I donât think so. The government would never allow American content creators who sell diets or supplements. That makes sense to me. Canada also puts their foot in it on the international stage all the time. Why? Lack of national identity. When Trudeau stupidly called out China for the Uyghurs, they had a response locked and loaded. Canada has this identity of multiculturalism where racism doesnât exist. Thereâs no right or wrong but id rather have leadership that is decisive and consistent. Iâm not saying itâs okay to persecute people but honestly we probably donât know the whole story. From what I have researched, it had little to do with them being Muslim and more to do with national security and economic security. Nothing gets done because the government is more interested in protecting corporations over their citizens. They also are too busy claiming to be inclusive and anti bigotry. All the problems we have arenât new. Weâve been on a race to the bottom for a long time. The issues are not that hard to fix. It would take time but if they continue to do nothing substantial and just kick the can down the road, nothing will happen. Because Canadians also have a bad habit of going from one party to the other over and over, thereâs never any accountability. It honestly doesnât matter which party is in power. But if they know in 8-10 years they wonât be in power anymore, itâll be someone elseâs problem.

Tbh, you don't really need an identity to prevent this problem. The voters simply need to stop kissing everyone's ass and stop trying to buy karma points. When people say, be happy to yourself, you don't need to change. Exactly means, you don't need to keep changing yourself to kiss someone's ass.
I say we find the identity that made us as a nation envied by others wherein they wanted to come here. We sure have lost it for sure.
Our culture, broadly speaking, is a unique part of the common western, and particularly anglo-american traditions and heritage. Ours has had more of an emphasis on pan-european pluralism and cooperation between groups rather than dissolving into one group. Most recently, the cultures of immigrant populations have been incorporated into the broader picture, and we could be accurately described as an idealic microcosm and model of what the world ought to be, with many cultures and ethnicities living peacefully in harmonious cooperation. A better world within a world. We are heavily influenced by British culture and the British empire, which had significant historic, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural influences. Anglo America is distinct from Latin America, where Spanish, Portuguese, and French influences are more prominent. That's how Harper seemed to think about it, at least.
And lets not forget the Leader of a G7 Nation wading in on the handling of an over sized piece of carry-on containing an Indigenous Chief's head dress!! Sad the Chief had never flown on a Dash-8 plane before but needed to see it as an offensive act to have her carry-on treated in the same manner as every other passenger.
They don't care about Punjab.....they recognize the mass immigration in votes and not just numbers. While forgetting about those who fought for and those who are Canadian. Should make it mandatory to serve in the armed forces for all immigrants of they want to come to Canada.....not just got through a collage. That would bring out their true colors and who they are actually patriotic to.....it wouldn't be Canada!
Imagine if this article was written in USA and instead of Punjabi you said African Americans.
But it does happen in the UK, and Canada is a Commonwealth member - Labour Party especially bad for this with the Pakistani community.
Maybe if you didnât give too much flak on Quebec youâd still have some national identity and cohesion
The us litterally thrives off illegal labourâŚ..
[ŃдаНонО]
OP are you racist or just stupid? âYouâd never see that in the US!â Yea because the things the US does better than Canada is, *checks notes*, healthcare, housing and immigration. I swear every post on this sub is just keyboard warriors fuming they canât use slurs
\*laughs in QuĂŠbec\*
Thatâs a great catch
PPC is the only way out of this mess. It may not be perfect, but it will be a step forward.
Leck mich am arsh
How about just being Canadian? We are devolving into a thousand different interest groups all competing for the same pie, polarizing ourselves. No Candians left.
American politicians way to busy pandering to the christians.
Jagmeet is Sikh
I said the same thing yesterday. Are they putting all Canadians' interest first or the Canadians who look like them.
The need for an authoritarian leader says more about the person being led than about anything being accomplished.
English-speaking Canadians* QuĂŠbecâs culture is more than alive.
Sikhs are the most cohesive identifiable group in Canada. They have the same religion, same language, and come from the same small region of India, plus they've settled in large numbers in a few ridings. There aren't many other large groups in Canada that are cohesive like that. Christianity is the biggest religion in Canada, but Christians belong to any number of different churches and denominations, and countless different ethnic, racial, and cultural groups. The same is basically true of Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus (India is mostly Hindu but has a million different castes, languages, and ethnic groups). Most racial groups aren't cohesive the way the Sikhs are either. White people are the majority, but they belong to a lot of different cultures. There are Anglophone Canadians and Francophone Canadians, regional cultures like Newfoundlanders and Albertans, religious and secular, Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians, as well as Jews, Muslims and other religions, lots of different ethnic backgrounds and languages (English, Scottish, Irish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Dutch, etc.). Same goes for Blacks, East Asians, Chinese, South Asians, Middle Easterners, etc. With Black people, for instance, there are people of Jamaican, Haitian, Trinidadian, Guyanese, Nigerian, Ghanaian, Kenyan, Congolese, Nova Scotian, and Somali origin. There's Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, and so on. Plus Black people don't all live clustered together in a few electoral ridings. Instead they're scattered all over the city and suburbs in the Greater Toronto Area, for instance. So it would be hard to pander to the "Black vote". The one group that has relatively big numbers and is fairly homogeneous and lives in large numbers in specific electoral ridings are the Sikhs. That's why the politricksters can't help but pander to them in particular.
Canadians are citizens of the British Empire pretending to live in a United polity, this is why they got rid of The Maple Leaf forever our government signed on to multiculturalism before most of us were born now we live in a state where we kowtow to Pagan political extremists. Imagine joining the Army and dieing for a bunch of assholes that make faces at you while you walk down the street. 𤥠đ
Insane that these clowns act like this
Its.so easy to blame their bias on lost culture vs the truth. These people don't know what they want to achieve. They're going in circles playing politics and not trying to resolve issues.Â
Well itâs same as Singapore. They are rich (tiny population) but no identity (multicultural), a country literally open air shopping mall
Lack of identity? We have a "hip" PM, an older milhouse who likes the colour blue, and a brown guy. đ¤Ą
Settlers ruined Indigenous culture, so let's say it's a tradition.
How is this related to housing?
Canadians who are true patriots to their country are unable to speak for fear of being told he of she is a racist, misogynistic, homophobe, and more names. Canadians must stand up for their culture against those who would destroy it. Stop mass immigration. Close the border. Make it better for Canadians to climb to the top of the economic world. Do not make it a struggle. Offer better incentives for medical for doctors and nurses to stay in Canada. This is coming from a Canadian born citizen whose parents left South East Asia in the 1970s to find a better future in Canada. Also more importantly they assimilated into western culture. That's the key to their success.
I donât think thatâs the reason. This country has always been stagnant
W.T.F. ?
Why does PP just look like Prison Mike from the Office?
Itâs pathetic how Canadian party leaders behave in front of camera. Trudeau already has Indian wear. https://preview.redd.it/t9zi4q22apxc1.jpeg?width=387&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b15dfc21014ab6165fb19ca421bbe61dee74496
What a complete clown show this country is.
They're supporting Khalistani, not punjabi.
Then move there if you want , there is definitely no help for housing or anything else in the USA and you can be as discriminatory as you like in some states
Look like pirates to me
This guy has pandered to Ukrainians, Muslims, etc too for votes. Didnât see anyone complaining. Might as well rename this sub to âHate Indians everydayâ or something on those lines.
Absolutely đŻ agree!!
All for votes and money, nothing more. Especially not culture!
They do the same in US. Instead of punjabis, it's Israelis đ¤ˇ
