Voting for this imperialist killing machine over the other is so punk π€£
ah yes voting for the coporate + genocide party is the punk way... Frick that
Yeah, nothing more punk than voting for genocide as endorsed by Peepee Cheney.
No. I'll vote however I want and there's nothing any of you can do about it.
Yes vote for the lady that sent people to prison for smoking weed. And then call the other side fAsCiSt!
Nothing captures the anti-establishment non conformist attitude of punk like heading up to your local community center and voting.

Highlights:
I think immigration needs to be balanced. Our levels are very high for the size of our population and India is by far the largest source. I think those things need to change, we need a course correction with lower numbers and more balance from different places.
Yes that is the problem. One country India has scammed, schemed, and loop holed the system and made businesses doing so. This is the issue and sad to see the division it's causing.
Not only that, but India as a country has actively murdered Canadian citizens and conducted espionage on Canadian soil. I agree with you completely.
The individuals coming here have nothing to do with that though, they're just trying to do what's best for themselves and their families.
Tbh, we should ban all immigration from India unless its a high skilled worker. We don't need low skill/full-time Tim hortons or Mcdonalds workers that barely speak a lick of English.
"Everyone should be wealthy!"
What a grand idea.
Unfortunately, realty is we don't have the productivity for that. So where do you propose we cut? If wages fly like that, what do we do about the inflation? How do we mandate those wages without sinking the entire economy?

I grew up in Quebec, Anglophone, I've seen what it takes to preserve a culture. Decisive, sometimes (what seems)radical action. Was I treated equally as an anglophone in Quebec? Definitely not. Was I eventually forced to leave or bear it? I'm in Ontario as a result. But ya know what? I'm Ok. In fact I'm likely where I should be. I can speak my language, and go about my business. Do I miss the Quebec culture, sure! Do I appreciate the culture where I ended up? Yes again. And you know what, I'm glad Quebec is willing to fight to preserve its culture - so why don't we do this on the federal level?
What did Justin Trudeau once call us? The first post-national state???
Unfortunately we may already be at the point of no return.
I don't see how it's racist. It doesn't matter where one comes from or what they look like, there is still no room currently and we are way over capacity.
That's a numbers thing, not a race thing.
India is one of the most dangerous places for women and we are just smiling and importing them at breakneck speed.
Canada is being invaded and no one is fighting back.
Don't forget the majority of United States Reddit leans Democrat, and US Democrats strongly opposite any negative views of immigration by nearly any margin. Not demeaning them, just being honest and accurate.
Don't forget you're in that echo chamber instead of the anti-immigration
To be fair with you, I'm a left-leaning US Citizen and I agree - specifically on Indians. I'm seeing low-income migrant Indians coming into low-income US areas and dominating culture by only interacting with fellow Indians - the opposite of what Immigration should be. We aren't opening our doors to sell you land, we're opening our doors to invite you into our culture.
I'm also witnessing high-income indians migrate and dominate high-level business - destroying the ability for native-born citizens to do so as well.
But if I speak this to fellow left-leaners, I'm a "conservative cuck".
Intent matters. If it were a million European migrants instead of a million Indian migrants and there wasn't an outcry from the same person over both, despite this migration also affecting jobs, housing, and altering Canadian culture (which is separate and apart from Old World cultures like European or Indian ones), then it would be racist.
It's worth spending the time to make sure.
European cultures are much more compatible with our culture than Indian cultures are.
It's not specifically racist to oppose mass immigration but all of racists oppose immigration.
As an avid racist I have to tell you that isn't true. Racism comes in lots of forms and the racist community is all over the place in terms of politics
Sure. I agree but my concern is that how much of this immigration crisis is manufactured by social media, mass media and opportunistic politicians. Having grown up in the 70s and seeing first hand many of my immigrant friends become suvcessful and productive I dont want government immigration policy to be decimated due to politics. We need immigration in this country to ensure that our economy does not suffer in the future due to an aging population.
As an American opposed to Trump and similar rhetoric, this is very concerning. [-3]
This is an example of racism lol. [-5]
Let's ask what the natives think about this. Canada is not eruope. You can always go back to Europe.
In regards to assimilation, all initial immigrants regardless of race, have a hard time assimilating. However, their kids always do.
You need to go outside and touch grass, though. [-5]
Then apply that to everyone equally. Not just india.
By singling out India specifically, you are in fact being racist. Because if you want to make this about cultural compatibility, who gets to define what's compatible.
Because my values as a Canadian are not in line with the deeply ideological and borderline white supremacist views of the significant potion of UCP voters in Alberta, and we know how they feel about compatibility of cultures. [-9]
No it's racist to make the points you're making. There is not universal culture. Culture is much more personal and is used as a dog whistle like you to mask your racism.
In what ways is Indias culture going to dominate (another dog whistle) since even with Indian immigration Canada keeps increasing human development and freedom: https://ourworldindata.org/human-development-index Our culture, values and human rights keep progressing weird isn't it. It's like values are more related to economic prosperity than skin color or country origin.
We have a right to our own nation as a nation of people who want to work and live without racism.
Mr. Beat made a good video on it.
But the jist is that most people on the planet share values. Not to mention the people who come here are self selected for people who bias educated and those who like Canada.
You're dog whistling that this country should be white the same way our ancestors didn't want Irish or Italians.
I bet you can't even define mass immigration or Canadian culture. Which is why I think you're a racist rather than someone actually engaged on the topic.
There's room to talk about TFWs, diploma mills, birth vacations and other inefficient immigration policies without using the culture argument, because it doesn't exist. [-6]
I completely agree. Get them all out. They are contributing NOTHING. [removed]

"Hannah Westland, publisher of the literary imprint Serpent's Tail, says she's not always confident that there's a market for fiction written by young men. "If a really good novel by a male writer lands on my desk, I do genuinely say to myself, this will be more difficult to publish." She believes that the "paths to success" are narrower because there are fewer prizes open to men, fewer magazines that will cover male authors, and fewer media figures willing to champion them β in the way that, for example, Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes have championed female authors on their podcasts."
i challenge even one dramafoid to name a single good compelling male character written by a woman 30 and younger, written within the timespan of 1995-2024

Although many women report being victimized by gossip, fewer report spreading negative gossip. Female gossipers might be unaware they are gossiping if they disclose such statements out of concern for targets. Four studies (N = 1709) investigated whether women believe their gossip is motivated by concern and whether expressing concern for targets insulates female gossipers against social costs, while simultaneously impairing targets' reputations.
Male participants reported lower romantic interest in female gossip targets when they learned concern (versus malicious or no) gossip, suggesting concerned gossip can harm female targets' romantic prospects. Study 4 revealed these patterns extend to face-to-face interactions. A female gossiper was preferred as a social partner when she phrased her gossip with concern versus maliciously. Moreover, concerned gossip harmed perceptions of the female target as effectively as malicious gossip. Altogether, findings suggest that negative gossip delivered with concern effectively harms female targets' reputations, while also protecting gossipers' reputations, indicating a viable strategy in female intrasexual competition.

Migrant Rights Network published an open letter calling for the immigration cut to be reversed, and for an illegal immigrant amnesty.

Here's the civil societies (etc.) that signed. Canadians should know if their donations are going to the immigration lobby.
Thread (1/9): pic.twitter.com/DumcjHGRMZ
Among these organizations are CUPE (and a bunch of other unions) as well as a bunch of pro-wog organizations
The most surprising is supposed pro-climate organizations supporting reverting the changes??? I don't understand how importing the surplus population of overpopulated shitholes is supposed to help the climate. It makes even less sense when you consider that Westerners individually have a larger carbon footprint than thirdies.
Give some of these places a call to show your support for signing the petition
Here's a template I've been using:
"Hello sirs/madam, I am wanting to extend my thanks for signing petition. In my home in Gujarat province I am victim of getting trouble for touching of voman when she not wanting it, but here in Canada i am living good life."

Fricking Global South π€£
UN: condone and enable terrorism (maybe it's just here/once but that is too many): nothing
US/NATO: actually enforce UN resolutions e.g. Libya, Korea (and sponsor Kenyans in Haiti): censure and bullshit
World police is a shit, thankless job
Just like regular police.
I noticed more sane comments popping up in subs that root for Israel and/or Ukraine. Making the perpetually online pro-America again one dead plestinian/ruskie at a time
UNRWA is to maintain refugees.
Multiply refugees. They are the only group that maintains that refugees -- those eligible for foreign aid, asylum, etc -- are descendants of Palestinians who lived in Palestine in 1946, 1947, and 1948.
The "refugees" are now three, four, five generations since.
No other accepted definition in history has followed this. It's a lie to siphon foreign aid into a failed, corrupt, terroristic state.
Yep. 8.5 million Palestinian refugees today, more than six times the total non-Jewish population of the entire Mandate of Palestine at its peak.
Plot twist: these "refugees" are in the same territories they ran away from, i.e. fled Hebron in 1948, moved to Ramallah.
Is this true?
And 8.5 million people, over generations, haven't found a way to seize their own state from the terrorists. Then they get taught, for generations, that the terrorists are right... there is no good solution here.
Yes, there is. They long for Allah's embrace, we should help them receive it faster
What's the matter Israel? Are you not the most moral country in the world? Would not the most moral country look beyond such simplistic thinking?
