Conservatives just took a big hit and their current statistical chance of winning majority is only 1% This story of them hiring people to paint PPC and it’s supporters as racists and bigots couldn’t have come out at a worse time I personally am happy as I support the liberals , too bad i’m not eligible to vote 4 Likes |

Bawss1: How could you have faith in your PM negotiating a trade deal with the U.S. for example, when he has nothing to lose ? If the deal goes bad for Canada, who cares, he can just move and work legally in the U.S. for example. How can anyone ignore such a conflict of interest ? 14 Likes 1 Share |

maternal: Still does not make a difference. Why? Because politicians do not face the consequences of their policies when it goes bad. Trudeau does not have any more skin in the game than any of the other candidates They will all find ways to evade any blowback from their policies that affect them personally. I will concede that Scheer could have handled this way better than he did. First, this made the headlines because in the past the Conservatives had questioned others about their dual citizenship. Scheer himself questioned Michaelle Jean's legitimacy back in 2005 when she was up the governor-general's office because of her Canadian and French citizenship. This does make him look hypocritical. In the grand scheme of things, this remains a non-issue. Same way Trudeau's brownface was a non-issue if you asked me... but with politics being what it is everyone is throwing dirt and hoping for some to stick. 7 Likes |

bLacKGoLd3: That's a hot topic. Bernier and the PPC say that the current immigration levels are unsustainable and they want to cut it by half. I think that is a sentiment that a growing number of people hold quietly but if they voice it in today's hypersensitive environment they will be termed a racist or whatever. I also believe the current level of immigration cannot continue forever without any negative consequences for the entire country. Immigration policies should be rooted primarily in the country's economic and societal interest. Anything outside of that should be treated with heavy caution in my opinion. Right now we are told that immigration is a net good for the country; meaning there are some negatives but overall it is good. I cannot help but ask then if the numbers keep increasing exponentially at what point is the net gain neutralized? I also have many questions as to what informs the immigration policies the Liberals are following but that is a post for another day. So far I think the Conservatives have the best plan when it comes to immigration. 3 Likes |

Bawss1: If a politician lives in Canada (only citizenship), and their policies destroyed the Canadian economy, how aren't they also facing the consequences ? Nobody cared that Scheer is a duel citizen or his experience or lack of it in the insurance industry. People only care about him lying and being such a hypocrite, especially when it has to do with something so minor. Can you imagine how he'd hide a bigger issue ? Trudeau's brown-face wasn't an issue because he admitted he did it, and they'll be other pics of him found as he admitted he did it more than once. Big difference between "you never asked me". Plus his track record on loving and embracing minorities hasn't been perfect, but it has been better than any other candidate. 8 Likes |

Bawss1: I hope you're not a Nigerian who migrated to Canada through the EE, is now a citizen, and is talking like this. Cutting immigration is a growing sentiment by angry racists who blame immigration or immigrants on their problems. Canada simply cannot afford to reduce immigration level. Trust me, I've lived and worked all over this country. Canada is not a banana republic. The process of immigration and the amount of people the country will take it, is done by mass research by different departments, and specifically the economic council of Canada. The country's birth-rate (which is negative), medium age, government owed pension to senior citizens, etc are taken into consideration. The ECC, different industries, etc all meet with the PM and his administration. The numbers are crunched and expertise taken into consideration, then a immigration target number is gvien. I mean you said "Immigration policies should be rooted primarily in the country's economic and societal interest". Are you suggesting the current government is not doing that ? Come on my friend. Stop believing the rhetoric sooken by the conservatives and PPC. You should be wise enough to weed out what's fact or just politricking. Do your own research. The federal government is not letting mass immigration in just to be "nice". The country drastically needs immigrants, and would collapse economically without it. And this is my field of expertise. Wasn't it the cons who introduced the EE ? 53 Likes 7 Shares |

maternal:A conservative politician will find it difficult to admit that brown/black face is racist and will also find it difficult to apologize. I started looking at my co-workers one kain, like am I safe? when they all the ones I relate with said there was no big deal with blackface and Trudeau was an idiot to apologize. It shows how some people can be racist but not actually know they are. 1 Like |

Now on to reality we have an election coming up that will define how Canada will be governed, and the choice is binary - 2 white males with privilege. One that is admittedly not perfect, but for 4 years in the public eye has tried to walk his talk of inclusion and respect for diversity even though he stumbles once in a while, and the other who is fueled by followers with so much rage against inclusion that it has become an unofficial campaign policy not to mention diversity or inclusion or equality throughout this campaign period. (Copied). Now I know who to vote for tomorrow. 16 Likes |

maternal:EE was the brainchild of Jason Kenney and Chris Alexander under Harper. PPC wants to reduce the level to 150k from the present 300k per year, but Bernier would likely back track too if he ever becomes the PM. |

Bawss1: Regardless of what we are made to believe, when these guys say they are against immigration, what they actually mean is "non-european" immigration. If the immigrants are Europeans, to them that is just a Canadian yet to learn the canadian accent lol. Their major problem with the current immigration levels is the sharp change in the demographics. For instance, the percentage of non-whites have spiked under the current immigration scheme, not everyone is happy with this. Before you take sides in an argument, make sure you watch out for the underlying tone. Not everything is truly about merits and demerits, some folks just hide under them to push their agenda. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

DexterousOne: I had this discussion with a Yoruba guy who's been in Canada going on 10 years. He came through the EE, he's now a citizen and will be voting in his 2nd election. He lives a good life and started a family. He refuses to vote liberals because according to him they're opening the border, letting a lot of immigrants in without vetting them. I honestly wanted to slap him. Canada is actually one of the hardest countries to get into. I feel this man likes the advantage he has over his family and friends in Nigeria. Very wicked man. 66 Likes 4 Shares |
