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.

Qatar: -$4.7 billion
Japan: -$4.5 billion

Diversification is a great thing. It is what made my new country rich and keeps it rich. It is what is turning Canada into a Northern Venezuela.

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

United States of America: -$11.7 billion
France: -$9.2 billion
United Arab Emirates: -$7.8 billion
South Korea: -$7.5 billion

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.
