Mainlanders with money have very little confidence in China's long term prospects and seek an insurance policy(a foreign passport) in case things turn bad.


Yeah. so they're hoarding our land and displacing Canadian born residents & throwing them out onto the street.



That's why everybody including Mel hates them.



We have so many empty homes in Vancouver due to these mainland offshore Chinese.



We have less an actual housing shortage problem & more one of land hoarding.

They are doing all that just by immigrating here.



I do think adding 1,000,000 new immigrants every three years puts our infrastructure under an enormous burden. Not to mention the housing shortage in our cities.

Quote from: "Fashionista"The Fifth Estate said that thirty nations have birth right citizenship.

The vast majority of those nations allow it I'm sure, because nobody in their right mind would even attempt to gain citizenship there in the first place.

All of North and South America.

I thought Britain had birthright citizenship.

Well they didn't really need it, they had an open border country where you could simply wander into from some other EU nation and be welcomed (by the socialist government at least). A large part of the reason Brexit was formented, I think you'll find.

The Schengen Treaty allows for free movement of labour, but it does not make one a citizen of that country.

no they ended it because there was too much abuse of this privelege.



So did Australia.



People thought Andrew Scheer was a racist cuz he proposed ending it too, but those countries already did.



USA & Canada should scrap it too or at least require some visa or legal entry like a work visa minimally

Birth tourists don't hoard land, they want a Canadian passport..



In fact many if not most will never live in Canada.....many Lebanese do the same.

Quote from: "Mel"North America is the only place that still permits this.  All other Western nations have restrictions in place.

I can find livable homes in all White Texas towns for $100,000, sometimes even a bit less.  This is absolutely unheard of anywhere in this Province.  Here, $100,000 will get you a piece of bare land out in the middle of nowhere.  Services will be up to you to run into property.

I had to wait eight hours to get my asshole cut open at ER, which was like a five minute procedure.  In fact, I told him just to do it without putting me under on Ketamine, and he was about to, but decided not to at last minute.  So waiting, waiting, waiting for bed in ER.

Quote from: "Fashionista"Apparently birth tourist mothers are prioritized at Richmond hospital because doctors can charge non residents 4-5 times what they bill for residents.

The problem with this model is, is that none of that money goes back into the hospital.  So the hospital itself, and all the support staff, have to take on even more work load.



Anyone that has been to any hospital anywhere near Vancouver, will see just who is filling up the waiting rooms...
