Don't let the truth get in the way of your rhetoric. I live in Toronto and it's far, far better then you seem to want to tell people. Many of my friends and colleagues are immigrants, professionals, and they embrace and enjoy life in Canada. There is no "major deficit", in fact the federal government ran a small surplus last year. There is no real estate bubble at all. Demand for housing in Toronto reflects that it's one of the nicest places to live in the world, so prices had to go up. Most Canadian real estate markets outside of the main cities are actually fairly modestly priced. Immigrants are a good thing; I have no idea why you harbour such a hatred towards them or why you are on the street so much. But that's not the life most people I know live. Perhaps you just hang around with a sketchy crowd and of course some of them will game the system. Maybe you struggle in a mediocre job or live in a struggling town or neighborhood. What I can tell though is unlike most Canadians who love their country, you don't, so maybe move out you seem more American anyways and have failed to assimilate properly into our culture.
The government doesn't stress out about "race-correlated" stats because they don't need to; people in Canada for the most part get along and respect other cultures. There is no general fear or growing sentiment in Canada that immigration is to be feared, or nonstop racist talk about blacks or any other ethnic group or skin colour. As with any country, there will always be pockets of trouble and some neighborhoods that are poor and have some crime. But the fact is these problems are much smaller in Canada then almost anywhere in the world. The economy could be better, but 2008/2009 barely touched Canada at all and all things being considered ( including lower personal income tax rates ), the worst one could say is our economy hasn't improved much since the 1980s and 1990s. This contrasts with the US who were flying high and are now struggling on many fronts.
I suspect you just like trolling on here, but I won't let your extreme negativity about Canada go without giving more reasonable people a more accurate picture about life in Canada. Poll the majority here, and you'll see that Canadians think this is the best country in the world.
Your analysis was almost entirely wrong. No surprise there
Housing prices have doubled every 6-7 years in major Canadian metros (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal etc). Wages have stagnated over the last 30 years, thanks to outsourcing. Now, if you can't do the math on that, you're not worth your salt as an economist.
Immigrants. I'm all for bringing in the best, brightest and richest. That's it. No charity. Most of Canada's newcomers are of the low and no skilled variety who sap precious resources from the taxpayer in terms of welfare, assistance and healthcare and pay next to nothing in taxes, working for Tim Hortons or driving a truck. Most can't even speak a lick of English.
Get em the fuck outta here. Canada (and America) don't need low level chumps from India and Mexico to drive trucks and deliver pizza. We have enough Canadians unemployed who will work those jobs happily. Importing do-nothings from overseas who game the system or work for peanuts is a backdoor bailout to large Corporations with political connections. Exact same as America's foreign H1B program.
Toronto itself, is mostly a dive. The West end and East end are exceptionally poor and run down. Enclaves of prosperity exist outside the core, but its mostly Government Housing projects and poor folk. Check out the land values outside the core if you don't believe me. Toronto Community Housing owns some 400 properties across the city, most of which are apartment buildings. There is an absolute army of people living off the Government hand in Toronto, mostly immigrants, and it's disgusting. Why even let them in when they're an immediate burden to the country. You may love it. I don't. And many people agree with me. You think Trump is an aberration? Keep dreaming.
Race and Crime, you're a fucking moron. American and Canadian blacks enjoy the
EXACT SAME RATES of incarceration, relative to their population. In America, Blacks are roughly 13% of the population and 50% of the national inmate population (overrepresented by 3 TIMES). In Canada, Blacks are roughly 3% of the population and between 10 to 15% of the national prison population (overrepresented by 3 to 5 TIMES). You're a bum who doesn't know the facts. That's all you are. You'll apologize all day for your people and call white people racist. The same people who accepted you assholes in the name of GENEROSITY AND GOOD WILL. See the title to this thread?
This has nothing to do with me. It has everything to do with you and YOUR PEOPLE (you're black, right?). And specifically,
BLACK CULTURE. Black ghetto culture is absolute dogshit and I haven't seen you one time denounce it, or denounce other blacks for adopting it. Or encourage your people to put down the gun and pick up a book. Have you once in your life ever appealed to your black community to read a fucking book and abide by the law? Just once?
I grew up in Brampton. Very multicultural. My Indian friends all ran insurance fraud scams even back then (20 years ago). Brampton is the 2nd or most expensive city in NORTH AMERICA TO INSURE A CAR. Again, do the math, you dumbass. You're too blinded by your own retarded ideology that we're all "the same" you can't even see the truth when it's right infront of your face. And yes, I have worked with many Indians and foreigners who all echo the same bullshit - game the system, make money, bankrupt a loan and send it back home. Many seek to use Canada like a whore, then go back home to their third-world shitholes and live like kings. I dated a girl for two years. Both her parents are cops. Her dad a sergeant in York Region. Ask him what he thinks of blacks and minorities. Doesn't like em. And he's a very fair guy. Wanna know why? Same stats as the US.
Oh but it's all racism, right buddy. Fuck off.
