Quote from: "Obvious Li"

Quote from: "Shen Li"I was reading VF a minute ago and I see Sox started a thread on the topic. What is your opinion on this subject? Are there certain ethnic/cultural/ideological groups that should be excluded from immigrating here? What do you think about it being an official government policy?



Myself, I am pro-immigration. Canada has a low birth rate and it will be immigrants paying for the pensions and health care of an increasingly older white population. The only reason to exclude people is for ideological reasons. I would slam the door shut on people who choose to follow the Quran in a pedantic way. Same goes for Neo-Nazis and ultra-sexist men. No room in a liberal democracy for people that believe in those three anti-social things.



One other thing, Canada was multicultural before it was officially proclaimed by Daddy T. I oppose the official thing because it comes with dollars attached. Governments use these grants to win votes in certain communities(the Tories are maong the worst offenders). They can buy votes with their own damned money, not mine.

multiculturalism in canada has been a complete failure......i am all for immigration...we need the best and brightest from around the world......we don't need the scum and misfits that other countries want to jettison...nor do we need their problems...we have accepted both in large measure....it has made this country less than it was or could be.....we can thank fuckhead Trudeau and the charter for that

It's only the family-class immigrant that is less desirable. People that come here because of their skills are the salt of the earth.



Refugees are another story altogether. Far too many of them are not real refugees at all. We take refugees from the EU and army deserters from countries like Israel, the USA and South Korea FFS!! :x  What a fucking joke.

QuoteThe Best Place To Live Is Canada



http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1974192/thumbs/r-CANADIAN-CITIES-huge.jpg">



Canadians know their country is a pretty fantastic place to live, and now the rest of the world is well aware of that too.



In their annual "liveability ranking" report, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) took a look at 140 cities across the globe, and no less than three Canadian locales are listed in the top five. In fact, nine of the top 11 cities are in either Canada, Australia or New Zealand, telling us that the Commonwealth is doing something right.



According to the report, liveability is ranked based on stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Of course, within these categories are nuances like what kind of crime is prevalent, levels of censorship, availability of good quality housing and the like.



Vancouver, which had been the world's most liveable city in 2011, has held its place as the third best place in the world, while Toronto also kept its spot at fourth. Forbes magazine recently placed Toronto in a tie for tenth as one of the world's most influential cities.



Calgary tied for fifth place with Adelaide, Australia.
