That was a great rant, I haven't read the word femi-Nazi used so much in one post on here. I think that the displays of status in Toronto, often borrowed money, is definitely the worst in Canada but due to cheap credit and the banks loving to lend out cash, it's all over these days. My banked called me up a couple of weeks ago wanting to lend to me. Again, its less so on the East Coast where people are more conservative with their spending (because they never had money to spend), although there were plenty of Newfie rich Atlantic Canadians rolling around in big trucks during the oil boom. The downturn in oil has taken a lot of people down a notch all over Canada since so many post-industrial small towns all over the country relied so heavily on their FIFO workers. Of course, this effect is seen the most in Alberta these days.

As for the Alberta NDP, overall I'm not overly impressed especially since learning that Notley cut the firefighting budget and what happened in Fort Mac. Then again, I'm not shocked by their actions, I've lived in NDP ridings for the majority of my life. My Edmonton riding is a stronghold and has held this seat for many years, last year I voted federally in Victoria which remained NDP and the riding in Halifax I grew up in went Liberal after about 15 years as NDP (Peter Stoffer's riding, great guy). And of course, I voted for Notley last year, more for a time out for the conservatives (who got beat handily by the NDP in my riding). As a tradesman, I was hoping that the NDP would do us blue collar guys a few favours and I was against the cuts that the Conservatives had proposed to health care and education. As I mentioned, I grew up in an NDP riding and have spent my entire adult life in NDP ridings, by choice, I always live near a university and entertainment and they tend to attract a left crowd. My dad is also hard core NDP but in his days it was more about the common working man and his family and these days its more about the single, downtown, latte sipping fruit roll ups. It was the first time that I ever voted for the NDP (I go between the Grits and Tories) and it will probably be a long time before I do so again, if ever.

Overall I think that the SJW/femi-Nazi thing is part of a social zeitgist that, although strong in Canada, didn't start here and won't end here. I don't think that provincial or federal politicians in Canada have the power to end it here (or the desire), especially under Trudeau it will only increase. I think that it'll take a large movement, such as the mess Europe getting really bad or the election of Trump state side to convince the world that these big government socialist morons aren't the way to go.

TLDR: Indian journalist who spent years living in Chicago compares the experience of Indian immigrants to that of blacks in Chicago's violent south side, doesn't appear to care for white people very much.

As Djembadjemba mentioned, immigrant communities in Canada have successfully participated in the political process, the Indians being some of the most successful.

She goes on to complain about how Brampton is unfairly labelled as a ghetto but fails to mention any crime statistics. I'm not familiar with Brampton but if its anything like Surrey, the gang violence is largely a Sikh problem, often kids from wealthy families who shoot each other up, of course, she doesn't mention this. Unsurprisingly, she blames whitey for down voting government spending to expand parks, because as we all know, the gang bangers would drop their guns if the government would just build more parks with gazebos like they have back home.

To compare the experience of Indians with the blacks in Chicago is laughable, I've never seen an Indian pan handler on the streets in Canada, but I have met many Indian doctors, dentists, engineers, etc. Basically this article contradicts a lot of what I've seen in Canada among the South Asians, especially since moving out west because I don't recall ever meeting an Indian person in Nova Scotia, they're smart, they go where the money is!

I don't see that much wrong with what this lady is saying. She wants to live in her own community with people that look like her; it's understandable. Let's face it, all over the GTA this type of thing is happening. Brown people have congregated in Brampton, Asians in Markham and Richmond Hill, even Woodbridge and Milton are slowly turning into brown areas. Again, I don't see the problem with this. It's pretty well accepted that white people as a percentage of world population and even as a percentage in western countries are going down.

What I find a little disturbing is when people - and I think this lady did it in this article - chastise white people for "white flight." It's strange thing to desire to live within a South Asian community while at the same time knocking whites who leave so that they can live among their own community. The reality is that while many white people will accept becoming the minority in their birth community, others will choose to leave - those who want their kid to not be the only white kid in class. I can confirm that if you go to practically any public school in Brampton, for example, you will have a tough time playing the spot the white kid game. It just is what it is. I've hooked up with brown girls from Brampton who told me they weren't used to white people because their never was any in school.

You can expect more of this sort of thing looking ahead 50 or 100 years. You will have more concentrated, homogeneous communities. Some will be brown, some Asian, and yes, some white people will continue to white flight to their own places. Personally I don't really have anything against the changing face of Canada. I am pro do what's best for Canadians already in Canada. If that means more immigrants from India or China, then so be it - assuming that's what actually is best. What I am against is bringing immigrants who could alter Canadian way of life in a negative way. That's why I think Canada should stop with Islamic immigration. Not based on the race of the people, but based on an incompatible religion, which could lead to problematic consequences down the road.

@ Scotian...

Toronto feminazis totally messed up the social scene of Montreal..What a bunch of prudish Neo-Victorians..Now manz gotta travel more into the Laval suburbs to avoid the Toronto feminazi infestation.

I find it awesome that not many Toronto feminazis can speak French, or even attempt to speak French in Quebec; they just force their Anglophone elitism to the Quebec and piss them off.

Great chess move by the NDP

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-co...-1.3632525

Trudeau runs on an election promise to legalize weed, then backs out of it when elected. The NDP is now pushing for legalization of weed via parliament...its not that they want it, or that they can enact it, but it forces Trudeau to deny his election promise yet again. This plus elbow-gate is antagonism par excellence.

The NDP is really pushing hard for the college/millennial vote ever since they completely alienated the western provinces with the LEAP manifesto.

Bad news for the Canadian guys on this forum. Canada has gone fucking "gender neutral".

Canada Bows Down to Feminists, Changes National Anthem

Quote:Trevor Norris
June 16, 2016

In a House of Commons vote on Wednesday, MP’s voted 225-74 to change Canada’s national anthem. Bill C-210, which was proposed by Liberal MP Mauril Belanger, who suffers from ALS (or Lou Gehrig’s Disease), changes the second line of the anthem from “true patriot love, in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command”. Bill C-210 does not propose any changes to the French version of the anthem.

While the 1908 English version of Canada’s anthem originally read “thou dost in us command”, the author changed it in 1914 to “in all thy sons command” in honour of the men who were fighting overseas in World War I. Many anthem changes have been proposed over time, but most have failed to this point. A motion by Toronto City Council to change “our home and native land” to “our home and cherished land” in addition to making the anthem gender neutral. Councillor Howard Moscoe claimed that the “native land” phrase was insulting to immigrants, while “sons” implied that women were incapable of feeling patriotism towards Canada. In 2002, Senator Vivienne Poy accused the anthem of being “sexist”. The anthem has also taken heat from secularists who take issue with the line “God keep our land”.

Also proposed by the Conservative government in their 2010 Throne Speech, the idea of a gender neutral anthem was scrapped after overwhelming rejection from Canadians. While polling showed that the change remains unpopular with the public (a CTV Calgary poll on June 1 had 91% of respondents voting against the change), Canada’s notably liberal media exploited Belanger’s disease to guilt Canadians into changing their minds. Buzzfeed Canada ran a headline stating “The Conservatives Just Filibustered A Dying MP’s Bill To Change The National Anthem” after some Conservative MP’s attempted to extend debate on Bill C-210. Ultimately, debate was stifled and the Liberals rammed the bill through Parliament. Bill C-210 will now head to the Senate for approval, where it is expected to pass. In addition to the Liberal, NDP, Bloc Québécois and Green Party caucuses, a few Conservative MP’s including former cabinet ministers Peter Kent and Candice Bergen, voted in favor of Belanger’s bill.

This is yet another case of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bowing down to social justice warriors rather than the will of the Canadian public. When his party formed government, Trudeau tossed aside merit as a requirement for cabinet postings, instead appointing cabinet based on race and gender quotas. This has led to some major mishaps in the House of Commons due to simple ineptitude of some of Trudeau’s cabinet appointees, most notably Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef.

Trudeau has been very outspoken about his status as a “feminist” since becoming a prominent voice in the Liberal Party, however, the Liberals have never been led by a female leader. The Conservative Party and Green Party are currently led by females. Trudeau’s schtick led to mockery by Conservative Party leader Rona Ambrose at the party’s recent convention, where she implied that he must think he’s the first female Prime Minister. The only female Prime Minister in Canada’s history was Conservative Prime Minister Kim Campbell.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a cunt.

The marijuana policy we currently have is a joke. It's easily accessible, there's a multi million dollar paraphernalia industry organized around it, it's culturally accepted for the most part, yet for some strange reason it can still get you arrested.

In the case of Sikhs they tend to relocate to be close to Sikh temples. As more Sikhs move into an area property values go up and white people often sell and relocate b/c they can get some extra cash (or maybe other reasons). Many Sikhs, maybe most, actually prefer mixed neighbourhoods but the convenience of being near the Sikh temple is higher priority.

As some of you may know, I'm an east coaster who has been living in Alberta for the past decade. I have a love/hate relationship with this place, there's a lot that I like out here (money, low taxes, etc) but a lot that I don't (night life, -40 temps, etc). I've been here for then years though, which is about a third of my lifespan so there's no denying that this province has influenced me in many ways, if I left Alberta tomorrow and never stepped foot in the province again, I'd still miss the fuckin red neck hurtin' Albertan attitude that you'll see in this article:

Great share.

There is some interesting stuff in that video. The local resident complaining about being pushed out. Seeing a white gentrification victim in unique.

Having global citizen investors come to your country is also not an advantage anymore. Money moves easily, international tax accountants are smart and those rich immigrants are not interested in becoming nationalist supporters. Nationalist policies will weaken their ability to move personally and to move capital.

Canada also doesn't really produce 'luxury goods' The brands I saw in that video were american and european...just with canadian storefronts.

Canada's investor visas probably made sense in an earlier time when capital was more difficult to move. Now it only makes more sense to offer incentive to attack physical capital to your country instead of people. Then, if that physical capital out grows the existing workforce, you can bring more people in via work visas.

Yeah, I was involved with the Immigrant Investor Program before it was scrapped by the liberals.

While it was not a perfect way of getting immigrants to invest in Canadian business, it certainly held them partly responsible for success. Having to hire 10 employees made sure that there was incentive on both ends (Canadian business, Immigrant investment) to succeed.

Of course, there was no shortage of Indo-Canadian and Sino-Canadian businesses who jumped at the opportunity to enslave their own people too.

Buying citizenship is bullshit, but getting immigrants over who are already invested in business is a good start. The agencies even make sure to match people, so often there is opportunity to learn valuable global skills for both parties.

I'm not remotely interested in Asian girls, but WB both of them above.

Hope everyone here had a good World Refugee Day, where refugees from all over (Middle Eastern and Balkan countries) want you to know their pain and suffering, shed a tear of sorrow, and welcome them to your homeland.

Today is National Aboriginal Day. I think I have some aboriginal blood about 4 generations back, but Newfoundlanders killed off all the Beothuk (the natives of the province) long ago, so no one really cares.

A few things:

I like Asian girls, but these super pale thin Geisha types just don't do the trick for my boner. That being said, these new immigrants don't care what others think of them. They live in a different world than most of us, including other Chinese people in Canada.

Secondly; Chinese money in Canada isn't all that bad, by them investing their money here, we benefit in terms of construction, real estate, and a stronger banking sector.

What the Vancouver city council could do to alleviate the pain for the locals in Vancouver is to impose an occupancy clause for foreign buyers to make sure the city's core areas don't die. Either live in it, or rent it out. Empty houses and apartments should not be an option if you're not a Canadian citizen and own property in overheating real estate markets.

2% increase in CPP contributions (1% for employers and 1% for employees)...or so it seems on the surface, but then they also expanded the wage cap on CPP earnings from 54k to 85?k and thats going to be an 8% tax right there. (4% for employers and 4% for employees) on that income. That is some financial sodomy right there.

At least the Manitoba premier abstained from voting, suggesting that people should be personally responsible for their retirement.

Luckily I don't contribute to CPP anymore so I don't have to deal with this, but I can't believe people want to trust the government with their retirements. First, because they are such frugal money managers to begin with and second...just think what they can do to you...picture it now in 2035 "Prime Minister Justin Bieber announced: This new law will ensure that those convicted of hate speech, will not have access to government pension plans"

The government will use this money to pay for other unfunded liabilities somewhere else in the budget. In a few decades the bill is going to come due and there will be no cookies left in the jar, then there will be further tax increases. If there's any significant industry left to tax.

Both the Liberals and Conservatives are responsible, Harper balanced the budget on the back of the EI fund just a year ago.

The luxury goods market is an interesting one in that regard. Wealthy Chinese have very little interest in local Asian luxury brands, let alone Canadian ones.....and keep in mind that what we call "status whoring" on here is a defining aspect of Asian culture. They care almost exclusively about well known European brands with "showoff" value with the best examples being ones likes Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Ray-Ban(owned by Italian luxury group Luxottica), etc. Interestingly enough those that can afford these items generally prefer to buy them in New York or Paris owing to extremely high tariffs in China and rampant fake goods there. It actually costs them less to fly to Europe/NYC than to pay the tariff.


You can casually observe this just by visiting. Well known luxury shopping locations like the flagship Louis Vuitton store in Paris, Sachs 5th Avenue in NYC, or the Ka-De-We in Berlin have what appears to be a majority Chinese customer base......interestingly enough the Chinese tourists are not very popular with the locals because they accomplish the remarkable feat of being more obnoxious than US tourists ever were.

Quite possibly the most retarded article I've read all year:

TLDR: Indo-Newfie girl goes to a punk show dressed in traditional garb and wonders why no one will mosh with her and comes to the conclusion that Newfies are xenophobic and racist.

Quote:A Newfoundlander with Indian heritage is speaking out about racism in the province, after she says a routine night downtown ended in discrimination. Avi Cheema, a law student living in Ottawa, was back home in St. John's on Friday to attend an Indian wedding. When the reception and ceremony was over, she said she decided to go downtown to meet her friends at a punk show at Distortion.

"I just had an Indian wedding thing so I just ended up going out in whatever I was wearing which I thought was pretty kickass," she said.

"It was honestly the first time ever in my life that I went out wearing my Indian clothing."

Cheema said she was wearing a shalwar kameez (pictured above), and although she was nervous about wearing it downtown, was still feeling confident. She said she's been going to punk shows for years and has always felt like a part of the community. But when she got to Distortion, she noticed her dress was attracting some negative attention.

"It was in the middle of a set and I was at the front of the stage," she said.

"I was trying to mosh but people were not even trying to engage with me. The looks they were giving me...kind of like what the f--k are you doing here?' Cheema said the reception she received at the concert made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I've done so much to be accepted by the community and be liked by people and all it took for that to completely disappear is me wearing my traditional clothing from my ancestral country." She said that wearing clothing outside of what's traditionally acceptable in North America made her an outcast at the show.

"It was 100 per cent a total correlation with the clothing I was wearing."

"When I actually lived in Newfoundland I had my septum pierced and obviously normally wore whatever [western] clothing. All of a sudden I come back out in this stuff and I'm completely shunned and not part of it anymore." While it was the first time Cheema said she's experienced that sort of reaction at a show, she says it's far from the only time she's experienced racism in this province. In fact, she believes the Newfoundland and Labrador has some serious issues with racism and has a long way to go when it comes to becoming more accepting towards other cultures and ethnicities.

"I think Newfoundland's a pretty xenophobic province, which is obviously fed by a lack of diversity," she said. Cheema has lived in Newfoundland and Labrador for nearly her entire life but said it wasn't until she moved to a bigger city for university that she realized just how prevalent racism is in the province.

"I'm living in Ottawa now and coming back and just kind of realizing Newfoundland is not very welcoming of diversity whatsoever."

"Just so many aspects of my culture that ever seep through have been made fun of," she said. "Finally now, I'm like 'Oh shit,' that's actually super racist, which I had no conceptual understanding of." Back in Ottawa, Cheema said the difference between living in N.L. and a more diverse province is night and day.

"It's immeasurable," she said.

"Even just walking around on the streets I see people wearing similar things to what I wore last night and no one gives them a second glance." In N.L., Cheema said it's hard to feel a part of the larger community when you look different than most people. "The way that we're received in most of the rest of the country at least in Ontario or bigger cities is just like: 'You are part of this community as much as every other single person.'"

"Here, you have a gathering of more than one man with a turban and people start getting kind of uncomfortable about it."

Cheema says that more needs to be done in the N.L. school system to educate students about the importance of being welcoming and non-judgmental of other cultures.. (CBC)

In order for this to change in N.L., Cheema said more needs to be done in schools to teach kids the importance of accepting others. "There's no exposure to any kind of culture outside of North American culture or European culture in schools," she said.

"So when people do see something that's different, I just don't think they even know how to react. It makes them feel uncomfortable because they've never even seen or heard or experienced it in any kind of way before." She said history needs to be taught in schools away from the traditional Eurocentric bent. "It's absolutely horrifying going through school and being taught something called world history, when in reality it's white history," she said.

With more and more immigrants and refugees moving to Newfoundland, Cheema said it's increasingly important the province properly welcomes them. "Where we don't have that diversity [that other places in Canada have], it's pretty important to at least teach about it." Until then, Cheema said she still feels welcome in N.L., but only if she engages with the province on western terms.

"As long as I don't express being Indian and having a culture outside of North American or European culture… I am very much accepted in Newfoundland" "But when I start wanting to express that, then I definitely have encountered some kind of resistance."

I wonder if people would look at me funny if I dressed up in traditional east coast clothing and went to an Indian club in Brampton or Surrey and tried to dance with the people there? A closer situation to compare would be if a girl wore a prom dress (which is similar to what this chick wore, an elegant gown) to a punk show, people would be looking at her as if she had to heads.

Hopefully the University of Ottawa law school is teaching its students about critical thinking, judging by this article, this girl must have skipped that course or more likely has an undergrad in feminism and victim studies.

Looks like the Islamic resettlement process is going along swimmingly. In Fredericton New Brunswick they are aggressively calling for as many migrants as possible, sadly as expected most are illiterate which is no surprise as Syria is total peasant culture where 80% of the refugees cannot read or write. Dave Rubin had Tino Sanandaji on who is a Kurdish - Swedish anti immigration econ professor and he said that only 4% of Syrians even go to university. All of the educated refugees have already been snagged up by Turkey so I can only imagine what quality Canada is being left with, certainly not our future doctors and engineers!

Now it is revealed that dudes with full beards aged 22 are being put into ordinary high schools. Ezra's team has filed a freedom of information request and we now see the implications of having these guys in a setting with teenaged boys who are too scared to say anything without being called Islamophobic and teenaged girls who are being harassed by their new Islamic classmates a decade older than they are. Teachers are also being totally overwhelmed.

Well you get what you vote for, Atlantic Canada went all red during the last election, mostly so they'd get more pogey (employment insurance) benefits and other government cheese. The place is about 95% white and the people are genuinely nice and welcoming, similar to places like Minnesota in the US, places that are "too white" and "need" cultural diversity. The problem is that the place is poor and young people like myself have been leaving in droves for generations to live and work elsewhere, outside of Halifax, the Maritimes are in serious demographic decline, and who better to make up for that than a bunch of illiterate, Islamic, Bedouin goat herders?

This is a very good article that sums up the serious demographic decline on the East Coast:

Quote:Because of their fading economies, PEI, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are running out of people like Mireyne MacMillan. Last year, 1,000 more people left PEI for other parts of Canada than arrived from them. The population of Nova Scotia has been falling since 2011, when it peaked at 948,000; over the next two decades, another 20,000 people are expected to leave. New Brunswick is in similar straits. Between the middle of 2012 and the middle of last year, the population dropped by almost 2,000, to 754,524.

But the real problem is the makeup of the population that remains. Every year – due to a weakening economy, a dearth of immigrants, and a population reluctant to face these problems – there are fewer workers to pay taxes and more old people in need of government services.

Within five years, a provincial study predicts, the working-age population of New Brunswick will have declined by 30,000, again largely due to the exodus of younger workers, even as 50,000 more people pass the age of 65. A provincial commission in Nova Scotia forecasts that, within 20 years, that province’s working-age population will have declined by 100,000, or about 20 per cent.

The trend may seem familiar – “going down the road” to find work is a Maritime tradition – but the tipping point is approaching rapidly, says Marco Navarro-Génie, president of the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies, a conservative think tank located in Halifax. “We have an economic crisis on the horizon,” he says.

I"m sure we'll read more stories about these Syrian goons acting up down east but I would say that the majority of them will also move within 3-5 years once they suck up enough government resources and will head west like everyone else does.

Also, its in their best interest to behave themselves because the East Coast red necks don't really fuck around, if they end up raping a girl or beating up school boys, I wouldn't be surprised if the locals take up matters in their own hands, they aren't emasculated Toronto dorks down there. I remember a few years back when a guy from Nova Scotia was selling crack in a small town there, a bunch of armed local men roughed him up and burnt his fucking house down and the guy went back to NS and never returned. Its an interesting story because all of the men admitted to doing it but they weren't jailed on the charges:

Quote:Four New Brunswick men at the centre of a violent, vigilante uprising against an alleged community drug dealer will not go to jail for their crimes. A New Brunswick judge handed out three conditional sentences and a conditional discharge Monday, five months after the men joined rioters in attacking an unwelcome neighbour and burning his house to the ground.

The four are residents of Grand Manan Island, a normally quiet fishing community in the Bay of Fundy. Grand Manan erupted in violence on the night of July 21 when a mob of up to 100 people marched on the home of Ronald Ross, an alleged cocaine dealer. Claiming that Ross was running a crack house on the island, the mob surrounded his property with baseball bats and guns......The mob then set the house on fire and watched it burn to the ground, forming a human chain around the property to prevent volunteer firefighters from putting out the flames.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that Rebel Media is reporting on this, I was unable to find anything in the Liberal friendly mainstream media, it will probably be covered up just like the recent story of Syrian boys choking out a seven year old girl in Halifax. Link

^^^^^^^ That brings a tear to my eye.

I can remember those times. When judges were members of the community and looked at things not just in the eyes of the law, but also what was better for the people.

A few years back when I lived in a worse part of Vancouver's DTES, a crack/meth dealer moved in. Within days his clients had picked apart anything worth selling, broke into any car that had a nickel, and had the locals vowing violence.

I talked to the local 'Chief' and he said it was under control and that the crackheads had already crossed the hazy line. They bootfucked the dealer pretty bad and told him it was going to be weekly visit until he moves.

The next day he was on his way. The guy had the balls to have a yardsale though, while his face was swollen and blue, to sell the shit that had been stolen from around the hood.

Good times in the DTES!
