Record numbers of Canadians are leaving for the US while the Liberals admit record numbers of uneducated, unskilled, non-English speaking losers.

What the Liberals are doing is a sure fire way to tank the nation on their watch.

Canadians of all backgrounds agree that immigration levels are too damn high.

I think the numbers a bit low. When I lived in Canada only urban white libtards said no. Among Aboriginals 100% say too many immigrants are being admitted.

No country can tolerate uncontrolled illegal aliens entering their country.

I am so glad we don't share borders with anyone.

Still tourists overstay visas and the bastards sneak in through the front door.

In Singapore there are consequences for overstaying any type of visa. In Canada there isn't.

Singapore has law and order. The UK have none.

I follow their politics.

There is going to be civil war in the UK. ITS FERMENTING AS I type. When it bubbles over, it's going to be messy.

King Charles could step in and take charge, make the choices that the UK parliament refuse to. He does have the power to do it, the royal family is nowhere near impotent in these matters.

Sausage fingered asshole is too busy sucking off Klaus Schwab though. "Defender of The Faith" my ass. Off with his jug-eared head, give the job of monarch to someone with a spine.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police issued an internal report that was leaked to the press. It said that if Canada's economic picture continues to worsen as it has under these dangerously enept federal Liberals they are expecting mass civil disorder and disobedience across this country.

I know.

It might help to remember that the houses of Plantagenet, York and Stuart were all deposed due to weak monarchs. King James II in particular got kicked to the curb for attempting to push his Catholicism on to a largely Anglican populace.

It seems to me that King Charles' tacit favouritism towards Islamic interests would be reason enough for a re-enactment. Chuck his arse in the Tower, feed the doddering rhododendron whisperer on bread and water and give his job to a real Defender of the Realm... someone prepared to take up arms and lead the charge against those that invaded the country, as well as those who obligingly held the doors open for them to do so.

Chrissake, what is the point of having a monarchy that sells out its subjects so? Sniveling bunch of worms ought to be inspiring faith in them, not pissing all over it.

Charles isn't really the King. The real King was 14th Earl of Loudoun, now his son, the 15th Earl of Loudoun who lives in Australia and its actually proven.

This English special explains... also, the 15th Earl of Loudoun was involved in Charles III Coronation. AND Charles III KNOWS he isn't the real King...

Either way, the United Kingdom's fortunes are in the toilet, represented as it is by the likes of Charles. The claim of them being descended from a bastard (and therefore a usurper) doesn't serve England much, not when a purportedly rightful heir has no interest whatsoever in picking up the pieces of their intransigence.

Interesting special though. Thanks for sharing it.

Y'know after reading countless posts, I think all you Canada Haters complain too much Shen Li Shen

My parents went through the Great Depression & the War.

And TBH, I think today's generation of Kids are spoiled and weak, Shen.

If moving to another country is what they need to do, then do it.

It's not the first time a generation has had to be mobile to further their prospects.

The 80s and 90s were a difficult time for Canadian youth as well.

High unemployment and many went abroad to teach do jobs outside of Canada.

But they didn't whine nearly to the extent that today's spoiled brats do.

and many of the the trials Canadians/youth are going through Americans are feeling as well.

Downward mobility, layoss, high cost of living, tough job market.

It's not just Canada that's feeling the pinch.

I just have to provide you with some context Shen

sometimes a dose of reality helps Shen.

My family are descendants of royalty from that shithole country. I should be king! If I was, every nigger, spic, muhzie, and WOP would be deported from England and every fucking home would be required to have an AR-15. Deport them fukin chanks too!

Honeybunch, what did I tell you after you performed oral sex on me this morning about responding to what people are actually saying.  Your response has nothing to do with what Ms Li is talking about.

Everybody that lives in Canada or who has fled from it acknowledges the reality that Canada is in free fall by almost all economic and quality of life metrics. What makes people much younger than yourself so upset is that it is being done by design.

Canada was an amazing country. The new LPC got it's hands on it and squeezed out the juice that made it an amazing country that gave people the opportunity to flourish.

We all know countries have ups and downs due to international or domestic market conditions. It is undeniable what is happening in Canada is not a decade and counting drought. It is something far more sinister.

Sugarplum you are one of those much older Canadians who are in denial about the reality of Canada. The state of the country has changed and many people want to move to countries that are like what Canada used to be.

Understand this reality Sweetie or do you need to fall to your knees first.

Y'know Shen Li Shen, the one who posts here who I think had it tough growing up is Dove Dove

Because the year she was born was when the economy tanked and things got tough & government took the axe to many social programs. I remember that. It was as if somebody turned out the lights.

If her mother had a hard time & her children I can see why.

It was no longer the free n easy 1960s/70s.

That was the time Reagnomics and Thatchertism and it was brutal.

It was also brutal in Canada and it felt like we were being cut off at the knees.

That was a hard time for a lot of young people too.

In most places, the economy was shitty and the job market was bad.

It was like a Depression. Unemployment in Vancouver was like 15%.

If today's youth are facing a tough economy, it was tough back then too.

Many went to Japan to teach ESL cuz those were about the only jobs available.

So essentially, it's an economic cycle repeating itself every 40 years.

And it's a time of uncertainty and we're in a trough right now.

 My grandmother raised me and we were never on government assistence. My grandmother refused to accept it. She said it was a trap. She wasnt wrong.

 She sent me to a private Pentecostal school and we didnt have a lot but we had what we needed and were grateful for it. I got my first job at 14 and i have worked all my life - aside from a few years here and there i stayed with my children.

And yet I understand that the 80s must have really been hard on your parents Dove Dove.

I was in my 20s in the decade you were born and it was a Mean Decade & there was a brutal recession aroudn the time our were born. As Charlie Munger, one of the wealthiest men of his generation remarked "That was a Horrible Recession (:40 of the clip):


So if yer Mom 'n Dad had a Hard Time, I understand why.

Governments everywhere at the time were chipping away at the Welfare state & pulling the supports from underneath young familes and mothers. It parallels what's going on in the economy today, 40 years later. And yes Trump & the Republican party is doing what Reagan did back in the 80s. Only Trump is doing Reaganomics on steroids. Cutting back on the welfare state and the social supports to help the working class.

I could see what was happening, I knew it was bad for the future and I decided I wanted my sons to have no part of Canada's suicide mission. It was a good decision and I'm not looking back.

However, I will be in Canada for 2 weeks in the second half of August. I like the mountain parks. They are among the few places left in Canada that have not been taken over by homeless junkies with litter everywhere.

But one thing you forget is how dependent Singapore in particular, is dependent upon the well-being of other nations and its trading partners Shen Li Shen.

and if Donald Trump raises Tariffs on Singapore by 10-15 it's like a punch in the gut for their Economy too.

Singapore doesn't live in a bubble, nor is it an Island unto itself.

In that regard, Switzerland - another well off nation- is a stronger, more stable model than Singapore.

There are some YT channels by Singaporeans:



BTW, these guys are very entrepremeurial, conservative and rich.

so they don't see things from a leftist narrative, Shen.

You might tune into some of their prodcasts as I think they're quite representative of Singaporan political views.

Jo Jo you beautiful silly goose. Unlike Canada, Singapore has real leadership. Their prime minister will negotiate a deal with America like 100 other countries have to avoid punitive tariffs.

And unlike Canada under the Liberals, Singapore is not dependent on only one market. America is not even Singapore's biggest trading partner.

So nice try Sweetie, but this an apples to tractor tires comparison.

This contrasts with Canada, where it actually enjoyed a trade surplus with the US.

Actually Shen Li Shen, if that's the case, why the fuck is the United States imposing any tariffs at all on Singapore? With respect to the US, Singapore is a net debtor, not creditor.

this is unbelievable that Trump would want to go after Singapore - especially in light of how strategically located and important they are to the Western World. Plus they have this strong tie with Taiwan.

Why is Trump punishing Singapore? If anything, they should try to cut your adopted country some slack.

In fact, why are YOU even cheering on the USA? Like Australia, Singapore is being kicked in the teeth by Trump.

Jeez no wonder the Prime Minister of Singapore was so upset with those tariffs, when he made a speech directed at the United States.


Given that it has a trade deficit with America, Singapore is actually subsidizing the United States, not the other way around.

I knew Singapore had global outreach like we can never achieve thanks to woke demands we place on new trading partners. But, they are a US buyer not a supplier.

Many countries will see a tariff rate between 10 and 15 percent on their goods, depending on whether the United States has a trade deficit or surplus with that nation. That insulates Singapore.

Sweetie, if you followed the news you would know that America is "non-committal" as to whether to impose the 10 percent baseline tariff. Their Deputy Prime Minister seems to believe that baseline duty will not last even though Singapore applies a 9 percent GST on most imported goods.

Either way, it is not an important issue to Singapore's economic security like it is to Canada since your Liberal Party blocked new markets for Canada's most profitable exports.

It is barely an issue here at all. If we have to make tax adjustments to facilitate free and fair trade we will do it.

After all Singapore is not Liberal mismanaged Canada. The People's Action Party actually does what is in the best for Singaporeans.

Quote from: JOE on July 31, 2025, 08:54:52 PMAnd yet I understand that the 80s must have really been hard on your parents Dove Dove.

I was in my 20s in the decade you were born and it was a Mean Decade & there was a brutal recession aroudn the time our were born. As Charlie Munger, one of the wealthiest men of his generation remarked "That was a Horrible Recession (:40 of the clip):

So if yer Mom 'n Dad had a Hard Time, I understand why.

Governments everywhere at the time were chipping away at the Welfare state & pulling the supports from underneath young familes and mothers. It parallels what's going on in the economy today, 40 years later. And yes Trump & the Republican party is doing what Reagan did back in the 80s. Only Trump is doing Reaganomics on steroids. Cutting back on the welfare state and the social supports to help the working class.

Feel free to disagree and offer your own version of events but that's the why I see it.

 Joe my mothers life was hard because shes a miserable drunk who has done nothing but leech off of everyone - including me.

 My father was a good man. He had a few degrees but only worked basic jobs and lived within his means. I had a good relationship with my father when i became an adult.

 But my grandmother is who raised me. She struggled yes. She was raising me on her pension. If she didnt have her newborn granddaughter dropped on her, she wouldnt have struggled much. But thank God she took care of me.

 The 80s were a very positive and hopeful time for people. That shows in the culture. Everyone was "go go go!".

Gawd whites are ignorant. :crazy:

If by better you mean liberal and more Westernized, China was more liberal in 1989 after  General Secretary Zhao Ziyang continued on and expanded the social and economic reforms of his predecessor Hu Yao Bang.

The majority of Chinese people did not like the disruptions caused by striking workers and African male students dating Chinese women starting in 1987 which culminated in Tianamen Square in Beijing.

The people supported conservatives like Li Peng and Zhao and his lib colleagues were forced out of the Standing Committee.

Generally speaking they had it all handed to them. Right there is the disconnect between how that largesse is perceived. Joe never worked the way his parents understood work, he cannot reasonably be expected to understand the value of wealth the way his parents did. Instead, his life is defined by people contributing to his pot and will find fault in those who voice  their discontent at continuing that trend when his hand is out.

It's almost like it was a "mistake" made on purpose. I cannot name a single instance of a country ever looking to benefit the world, though I can make a case for plenty that acted in their own self interest.

It's not just a brain drain to the US. Canadians don't want to invest their money in their own country.

QuoteHere is the reality: they're choosing the United States instead of Canada. Even during an unprecedented trade war, economic uncertainty, and the country's newfound nationalist fervor, money is heading southward at an eye-popping pace.

Recently, Statistics Canada reported "strong foreign divestment in Canadian shares" across many sectors, including energy, mining, and manufacturing. At the same time, Canadian buyers also moved their money stateside, purchasing $13.4 billion of foreign securities in just one month.

If this were a small, short-term blip, it would be easy to dismiss it as market noise or an aberration. But that's not the case: Statistics Canada found four consecutive months of net divestment from the Canadian economy, adding up to $62 billion in lost capital.

And that's not to mention that every year since 2015 has seen more Canadian investment going abroad than foreign investment coming here. For those keeping track, this is the fastest rate of divestment in Canada since the Great Recession.

What does this all mean?

From an investor's point of view, there's no sugar-coating it. Canada is, simply put, an unattractive place to invest hard-earned cash. People making financial decisions for the future don't have confidence in the Canadian economy to make them money.

From a government's point of view, it should mean alarm bells ringing left, right, and centre. Lower investment in Canada translates into lower productivity, fewer employment opportunities, less government revenue, and a weaker Canadian dollar, leaving us all worse off.

But why is this happening in the first place?

According to the C.D. Howe Institute, the culprits are familiar: high taxes, regulatory barriers, policy uncertainty, and anti-growth mindsets that penalize success and demonize the private sector.

Anyone who has been paying attention for the last ten years knows that's exactly what's been happening. Nothing says "Welcome to Canada" to investors quite like a hike in the capital gains tax at the last minute, chaos at the CRA, multi-year project approval processes, and the highest deficits on record.

Capital is leaving. Talent is following. And if nothing changes, the only thing left moving in this economy will be the exits.

This^. Commies aren't people, they are animals that need to be put down like rabid dogs. Such animals should never be afforded the means of production; they will only create sweatshops staffed with slave labour to produce substandard products for the purpose of flooding the market of their competitors with ticking time bombs of obsolesence.

Taiwan should not fall to the PRC, it is against the interests of the West. That much should be obvious when we consider that Taiwan is effectively Ground Zero for the lithography and production of silicon chips. In a largely infotech-driven society, handing such a jewel to a pack of totalitarian commie shitweasels would be economic and political suicide.

Ideally, we should be promoting a 2A for the Taiwanese and arming the fuck out of their citizenry, if only to ensure they remain independent of the scourge of commie animals. With the only other option being to nuke the utter fuck out of them scorched earth style, it is incumbent upon us all to realise the necessity of keeping Taiwan independent from commie control for our mutual benefits.

I mean look at what the commies did to Canada... flatlined its international appeal and reduced its people to peasant status (those that couldn't or wouldn't get out that it). If Taiwan were to fall to the commie animals, glassing the region would be as much a kindness to Taiwan's people as it would be a bulwark against the further hollowing out of the west.
