You do understand that's not the only reason women bleed down there right? On average a womans periods total up to around 7 years worth of time from puberty to menopause, rough math that's like 10,000 pads. I'd wager that woman is buying them for a womans shelter or some other charitable cause, or if she has a couple daughters that's probably just a more practical way to buy them.

In Hakkaboy's defense, no one woman would ever buy a pallet of tampons. Are you kidding me?


Unless you're planning on reselling these, that's a lot of pads. This would cause me to have suspicious thoughts with everything that is going on with remote births right now.

So I’ve read in the papers that women here are bringing to China sanitation pads because they don’t trust the ones back home.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-pacific-37788670

This bitch ain’t running a pregnancy ring, she’s just exploiting the situation with these pads and making money.

*Sigh* At the hospital, they provide you with a big pad(s) and mesh underwear to hold the pad in after you give birth. You get to bring some home as a women will be bleeding for the next few days

In absence of those pads, these would be the next best thing besides wearing Depends.

Obviously I'm not saying this is for a single pregnancy, but could supply all the women at any said shady operation as they will have house several women at once

I think you guys have never seen or experienced child birth, so I'm out.

And yes, it's possible it's for resale. But doesn't hurt to check as I would classify this as "suspicious" either way

LOL at stocking up for a couple of daughters. These go on sale periodically at Costco, so you don't need to buy THIS many at any one time

And yes, I do know what the role of these pads are during the menstrual cycle. I'm talking about alternative uses for it

Well, that's like 50 boxes on that cart, and like 96 pads per box, so by your metric half a life's worth right there


But you're right, it's probably not what we think and we should give her the benefit of the doubt.

It's just getting really hard not to do when stories of people taking advantage of our systems is getting more and more common.

How is it taking advantage of the situation? it's called Costco wholesale. She could have just gone to the front desk and ordered in a pallet. When it arrives you pick it up from next to the loading bay. They can even forklift the whole pallet into your truck/van.

Not sure about pads since I've never used one, but I can tell you that JDM condoms totally make the USDM / CDM ones look like shxt.

Are you dense?

I wasn't referring to this woman and buying a cart of costco pads with that comment.

Hence why I initially said probably a charity or something. If I remember right menstrual supplies and socks are the two most needed but least donated things.

PHOTOS: Tour of Richmond Hospital reveals inadequate environment
https://www.richmond-news.com/news/p...ent-1.23160790




Our rural population may be declining, but our urban population is growing at a rate that many cities are having a very hard time dealing with.







Hahahaha!
Okay there, champ. For years we were told that foreign money wasn't affecting our real estate, and that mainland gangsters weren't running millions through our casinos

It's so sad that we trust our officials so little, that anecdotal evidence actually becomes a viable source. Regardless, the US found that there are more anchor babies born in the US, than natural births in 48 out of 50 states.




Again, myself along with Malcolm Brodie think that your numbers are incorrect.



This is where I see that you truly are part of the problem. It's the attitude of "Hey guy, everyone is cheating so why not me too?"
Stat-wise, don't take my words for it. Google Birth Tourism Canada, in the news tab, every major news outlet has stats from a lot of years released by Statistic Canada or other official sources. I did my work when I posted. If you are too lazy to even Google, I got nothing for you. Can't argue with people who simply refuse to accept anything other than their own idea. (Trump much? )

I am an immigrant myself and I know first hand what it's like being an immigrant. Do I get mad because these babies had it too easy comparing to what I had to go through? (study, find a good job, fit the immigration criteria... etc)? Maybe a little bit... but as a current Canadian citizen, I have no more or less feeling about these anchor babies than refugees. I don't agree with what they are doing (either breaking or exploiting the law), but that's about it. If they did it and got CDN citizenship... welcome fellow CDN!

They share a similar wish, looking to have a better opportunity in the future and they (or their parents) are willing to take their risks with legal problems and authorities. For that, I respect them... at least for their courage.

Both side of the borders, people who seem to oppose anchor babies the most seem to be those who are conservatives+born/bred locally.

If you are one of those, let me ask you one thing... are you part of any native/aboriginal group? If not... I can pretty much say to you, STFU!

Your family was an immigrant one point in time. They did what they had to do to give better opportunities to their offsprings. They also took the risk... probably went through some holes they don't talk about even in the family. So, stop this "I'm better than these people because I'm a true Canadian" attitude. You know nothing about the COST of being a Canadian. You were lucky enough to be born with it. That's all... as far as a Canadian goes, you are no better than me, the anchor babies or the millions of Canucks out there.

As for them taking our medical resources... again, get some stats and come back to me. It's less than 1% of all babies born in Canada... if our system can't even handle 1% over-capacity... I think we have a different problem here.

In short, I don't agree with people breaking the law or exploit legal loopholes. HOWEVER, before they even spend a dime of taxes I paid working on a constitutional amendment to change this, they need to convince me that this actually IS a problem. Otherwise, I think the tax money I contributed to the Canadian society can be better spent and we have problems that have way higher priority than this one.

Pretty sure the majority of us are children of first or second generation immigrants.
We're not talking about immigrants. We're talking about people who come into the country either legally or illegally with the intention of dropping a kid for citizenship.
I'm not sure why these two always get conflated.

What I'm curious about, along the same lines, is what is being done about roxham road?
There's been an increase of over 1000% of "irregular border crossers" since 2016. And with trump only continuing to tighten security, that number will inevitably continue to grow.
What is Trudeau doing about it?
