Изглежда цяла Канада е на мнението на Диксъна и никой на моето; затова реших да пиша в други форуми под различни никове:
Zip. Enough is enough with this country just taking in new folks every year. Until we get fundamentals under control and allow our present people to get a job or maintain.....we should not be letting more people in to make our condition worse.

None. We should not be taking in any more people until or unless we can adequately provide for those who're already here - when I say provide for, I mean provide jobs, health care, medical care, education, and a decent standard of living whereby people aren't living in run down shacks with little to no food or modern amenities. No one who is already in Canada should have to go hungry or be homeless, living on the streets, or in dire need of medical care but can't get it because of excessively long waiting lists (due to gov't cut backs and more and more people coming here for our social benefits - one of which is medicare). At one time (and maybe it is still, I don't know) but it was illegal for the gov'ts (provincial and Federal) to let someone go hungry or live outside in the elements (ie: be homeless). That the gov't had legal and moral duty to make sure all Canadians had adequate food & shelter. They seem to be shirking big time if that's still the case today. So until or unless they can get their act together and provide for those already living here, why would they bring in more? Just so that in the years to come there can be more people living in poverty that they can't or won't help?

I waited three years for my citizenship paperwork to be processed. I turned up for the test this summer, and saw that there were people taking the test that could not speak English or French....they had interpretors. Seems there is a disconnect in immigration here...if you are a minority...seems you get more leeway...Im white British and own my business here....no breaks for me though! Oh and I have been paying tax for six years...still waiting for my citizenship.

If there are people here in Canada whom can do the work that an immigrant can do, then this potential immigrant cannot come here. Mommies and daddies whom get more social help than I do should not get anything from the government, (you and I) unless they have worked here and contributed to CPP for 15 years. Enough of old people coming in and clogging up the system when our own baby boomers are going to have a rough go of it anyhow. Time to get our priorities straight!
We have enough of Harper's mess to clean up, the deficit and debt is larger now under his reign of incompetence than it was before he came to power.
These people come in here and want to change Canada to suit themselves. Where were they when the European pioneers were building this country? Now they come here so they can get a "free ride" on the backs of my forefathers and mine. Get off my back!
