When I go out and speak to individuals, in a safe area, they all agree with my views. Doctors, Lawyers, Military personal of all ranks (NCO and Officers), professionals, labourers, everyone in all social classes.
So everyone who agrees, (the majority of whites) need to ask themselves, why their views are not be represented in our democracy.
Why is immigration quotos being increased when we do not need it or want it? Who is controlling our immigration?
Here is a legitimet story first hand. A fellow I know, immigrates from a western country. He is married to a Canadian, however he is treated the same as refugee. Not only that, he is interviewed by an immigrant from India. This person can not speak our language, an interpreter was needed for the interview, he claimed he was overweight, and gave him a hard time (he is not overweight).
This immigrant who just got here, with difficulty with our language, is deciding who can enter.
This is wrong, and everybody who reads this knows it’s wrong.

I call bullshit. Actually, I call right-wing xenophobic shenanigans. I have a friend who works for Immigration. Despite having all the education and qualifications one could ever hope for, she went through a rigorous testing and interview process that lasted a year before she landed the job. I think we can be fairly certain they’re not wantonly snatching up non-English speaking newly-landed immigrants to fill interviewer positions in the department.
Also, racists masquerading as patriots are despicable human beings. Too bad we can’t deport you, OP.
^ Agreed with me0w.
I’m a bit saddened to think of the responses where people may actually agree with this opinion…
I find the mindset that people who live here need to speak “our language” incredibly ignorant. I’m not saying people shouldn’t have to bother to learn English. Obviously, learning it would benefit them well what with it being the dominant language. But Canada is, in my opinion, a melting pot of various cultures throughout the world. It’s what we’re known for and it’s what we tend to pride ourselves on (although, knowing this is the general opinion always makes me laugh considering the strong opinions I’ve heard that oppose this).
We of European descent are not from here (that probably sounds more redundant than I’d like it to). So, in my opinion, just because we happened to gain dominance of Canada due to subjectively “superior” methods, that does not mean that we are the be all and end all. We descend from people that did not originate here to begin with. I don’t know, that’s just always been my opinion.
I’m from Canada. Anyone born in Canada is from Canada, no matter what their skin colour might be. Don’t throw your cultural relativism at me.
I also call fake on this bitch too though. A lot of fakes around here these days.
as usual the left jumps on the mere mention of a problem with immigration policies ; it really gets tiresome
I’m not from here? Well I guess my birth certificate is a forgery.
I doubt a physician or lawyer willingly listen to someone who cannot even spell ‘legitimate’ correctly.
PS: What’s an army personal? I know army personnel includes members of the military…
jdp21: I agree with you that the OP’s use of “our language” isn’t warm and friendly. I’ll also bet hard cash that he really meant English, not either of the two official languages. Having said that, I personally expect an immigrant to be fluent in either English or French fairly quickly.
I’m skeptical about the case the OP purports to describe, but I’m not prepared to dismiss it out of hand. I’ve encountered, in various capacities, quite a few first generation immigrants in government jobs, provincial and federal, whose capabilities in either official language left a lot to be desired. As in, they were not able to communicate. Would you tolerate a native-born illiterate in a government job that required the ability to read and write and speak, presumably in an official language BTW, not in Urdu or Chinese? No, you wouldn’t.
I’ve never encountered language issues at government offices, but I have dealt with some very incompetent people who shouldn’t have the job they do. I am agreeing with me0w and jdp here. I am not sure what OP means his family-class immigrant is treated the same as refugees. The processes are totally different. I call BS on this one as well.
I judge government employees, not by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character. Lazy, rude, arrogant, self-entitled public sector trade union slugs who have done more to put this country in debt with their insistence on privileges in exchange for mediocrity than all the fighter jets that Lockheed have ever built.
OP, do you know what ‘polyglot’ means?
I’m with me0w too – As someone with a family full of gov’t workers (please don’t judge me by that…), they language testing is RIDICULOUS for positions. You have to PROVE that you’re perfectly fluent in at least one language, or you just can’t get through.
And my anglophone parents, working in NB have had a really hard time because on top of english (which of course isn’t the issue), my mother in particular has had to go through months of french training so that she can get her CCC qualifications. And she has to be re-tested every few years so that she can KEEP her job. Not just GET a job. And she’s pretty high management in her department. And she doesn’t even use french on a regular basis, but must have it because that’s what the position regulations are.
So ya, OP, you’re full of shit where that story in particular is concerned. And I’m calling bullshit on the rest of it too.
It seems this “Nationalist” fucktard only posts to stir up shit. (Which he seems to succeed at.)
No offense intended Ralmn. It’s inventory week here at Dunder-Mifflin that tends to make me bit crispy and the vitriol flies at random. SOR-REE >: (
Ha ha, no worries, I never even think about it – I totally understand the perception of gov’t workers. And my parents are some wicked bitchers about the system too. But the system is put in place by people higher up than the majority of people, and it’s been created to perpetuate the hiring of ineffectual morons. There has to be a few real workers buried in there, and I’m thankful my parents are some of the intelligent ones who, for some strange reason, have worked for over 60 years between them in that environment. But hey, everyone needs to work, and soon they’ll both be done. My papa can’t wait and is literally counting down the work days until June 2011 and my crazy mom actually LIKES her job and hasn’t set her date yet. Nutter. Funny – they both made sure I was fluently bilingual in case I ever wanted to work there – but listening to them over the dinner table has kind of turned me off to that calling (though many weeks vacation, early retirement is tempting as I get older…)
Oh, and Ivan, I like it when you’re crispy. Ha. 🙂
>: ) Screeeeee!
OP,
I won’t address most of your bitch, but I will offer an answer to the question you asked regarding who is controlling immigration policy.
Ultimately it is the government of the day controlling immigration policy. Right now that happens to be Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, but it doesn’t matter much who is in power because government policy makers across the political spectrum are in general agreement about the need for immigration.
There can be legitimate discussion about who the most desirable immigrants would be. Obviously, except in the case of refugees fleeing persecution, we should be looking for people who will add to this nation’s human capital, not detract from it.
We don’t want career criminals. We don’t want folks who are going to use their new homeland as a place from which to propagate centuries old ethnic hatreds. We don’t want immigrants who will be living off the public purse for decades. The government hopefully has procedures in place that will safeguard against admitting such people, although sometimes I wonder how effective these procedures are.
Aside from the tinkering that various governments attempt when it comes to immigration policies, all governments are committed to immigration for one simple reason: economic growth.
According to policy makers, we require a growing population to drive economic growth. The birth rate in Canada doesn’t promote enough economic growth to satisfy the policy makers. So our population numbers are supplemented by immigrants. Since conventional economic wisdom demands growth, ultimately it is economics which drives immigration policy.
I think there are some important issues that need to be addressed.
The first concerns how successful new immigrants are at integrating into main stream Canadian society and how well the government supports this effort. Obviously, nobody wants to see growing enclaves of people who aren’t functional in at least one of Canada’s official languages and who aren’t achieving any economic security. That is a recipe for trouble, as the Europeans are finding out, although there are other issues at play in countries like France and Germany.
Apart from how it drives immigration policy, I think we should be starting to question the basic assumption that economic growth is an unalloyed good thing. Economic growth has become entrenched as an ideal in government policy making, but the pursuit of economic growth without regard for other factors has led to all kinds of problems for our society. Perhaps the idea that we could have a constantly growing ‘economic pie’ maintained upon a finite resource base is faulty. I am beginning to think so.
On a side note, I have had the experience of returning to Canada (Toronto) from abroad and upon entering the Customs area finding myself faced with almost a dozen Customs agents, none of whom were white males, many of whom spoke English with an accent. I admit it can be a little disconcerting to be scrutinized and challenged by someone who has obviously only recently become a Canadian themselves, but that’s just part of the government’s efforts to integrate immigrants into Canadian society, ie. to demonstrate in a concrete manner that regardless of national origin, race or gender, these people can fully participate in the Canadian experience.
Oh those Tamils. Someone hire them so they’ll stop posting on here.
OP is human garbage
I think they use new Canadians as customs agents because they speak English well enough AND they can speak a language (or two or three) that is often spoken at the customs area. If you think about that Polish guy who got tasered to death, you can see where an additional language may come in handy.
I’ve proudly served Canada for 26 years, and I’ve been perfectly willing to defend it to the death.
But I won’t defend the racist clap-trap spouted by this twisted “nationalist”. You may have the right to speak but immigrants have the right to live in peace and security- and to work, and retire, and raise their kids without being treated different because of the colour of their skin.
