Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Days like today when I sell a $1000 USD AI ad package... I'm totally more globalist! Keep bringing in more Jagmeshpreet... the Amazon deliveries and Walmart grocery deliveries and UPS Rockauto deliveries have been fucking hyper-fast and 100% accurate, nearly every time delivered by a guy in a turban. Keep'em coming!
And I haven't even talked about the DoorDash butters chickens I had the other night... Gawd-DANG!!! So good.
Reverse colonization baby!!!

You come to a country as a guest, you abide by its rules. Wild concept
Dragging the worst aspects of your culture and religion to a foreign country and not even attempting to assimilate into the society you’ve joined. A sure recipe for success.
God has to give way,” Frederiksen told Danish news agency Ritzau. “People have the right to believe and practise their religion, but democracy takes priority.”
She believes there is “Muslim social control” leading to the “oppression of women” within educational institutions in Denmark, a situation exacerbated by legislative gaps.
God.. to live in a society actually governed by common sense.

Sigh...When did this Canadian Politics thread turn into Tired right-wing talking points 101?
Let's see, we covered:
1. Crime is up
2. Prices are up
3. Immigrants are destroying our country
Next up, Trans people are trying to convert my children. Oh won't somebody think of the children?
Well.. it’s all related no?
Everyone said it was racist when Surrey central skytrain was looking like Mumbai and people wondered hmm.. maybe this is why the job market is shit and housing and rent continues to skyrocket?
But as soon as Trudeau admitted the system was broken people like Westopher followed suit shortly after. Really needed that morale guidance
I don’t think it’s a coincidence the countries I laid out before as model societies aren’t filled with McDonald’s, Tim hortons, and sham colleges.

Pretty clear poor immigration policies have been disastrous for both the UK and France.
Lmao I took an uber with a guy from Nigeria and he told us how much he admires Mark Carney when he was the head of the Bank of England and told us how racism has gotten much better in the UK as his daughter has grown up there for 18 years since when he came, how sad he is about Trump and that he loves London so much and some bad areas are turning nicer and he feels like things are headed in a good direction.
Imagine basing your entire opinion of a country and its state of being off of one fucking uber driver.
You just did the exact same thing based on 10 days bra.
And to think you talked about Mark Carney with a Nigerian uber driver in London
Ok buds.
Stayed with friends of ours one born and raised in London who works for the govt. and his wife born and raised in Canada and has lived in London for 20 years. Pretty sure both would be leaning my way VS a Nigerian uber driver

On paper the notion of assimilation isn't unreasonable yet when folks like you say it (the way you say it and your prior record/comments) it can't help but come across as racist. It was only last week where you showed your racist misogyny by being triggered by a fat Muslim women and you've admitted to being banned on a sub-Reddit for your racism.
Maybe there's a slim chance that you're not really racist like you claim but there sure is a lot of smoke.
More broadly, the notion of assimilation and belief that newcomers aren't adapting is a trope as old as time. In the past it was the Irish then the Italians then the Jews then the Chinese. Now it's Arabs and Indians. It was racist back then, it's racist today.
Today, Asian immigrants are widely accepted but I'm old enough to remember being shouted at by white people. I have family members who have experienced the "You people" accusations. It was us that were the baddies back then who didn't "want" to assimilate, now it's the Arabs and Indians getting that rap.

You’re a dumb fuck if you think Trudeau influences my opinions on things like immigration and religion.
Coming from PPs personal cheerleader that’s rich.

I couldn’t care less what anyone looks like. I’m sure you’ll spin this whatever way you like but growing up I had friends of all races, never thought twice about someone unless I went over to their house and their cultural norms were so out of wack was like hmm.. ok ? lol but even then I never once thought badly of people or “hated” anyone because they were different. Growing up my best friend was Vietnamese and in high school playing rugby I remember a guy tossing him down and saying some stupid shit like “fucking gross chink” or somthing. I got tossed from the game cause I booted the guy in the ribs after that and I remember it being totally jarring to me even back then that some clown would just be like blatantly racist with 20+ people within the vicinity.
But if you’re bringing your religious beliefs here.. ehhhh…
Pretty obviously the Burqa hijab ban outlined in the aforementioned article is due to what it represents, oppression of women.
The head scarfs are just the gateway drug there.
I would never associate with anyone on a personal level decked out in some Burqa because it’s blatantly obvious this person and I have EXTREMELY different views on the world.

Did your family come here as guests or as conquers?
Emigrated through traditional, legal means?
European immigrants that didn’t bring religion and burdens to Canada? lol
Obviously like.. Indian people are in the cross hairs of these types of discussions but there are plenty of “white” European, Asian, etc. people who come here and did not put an ounce of effort into assimilating into the culture.
If you’re here for 20+ years and you can’t speak English, odds are you tried very little to make an effort.

Don’t recall a time I ever said anything but PP being a clown. My preference was him over Trudeau, absolutely

If you can’t tell the difference between me saying a country isn’t a complete hellhole like that X bullshit propaganda piece and whet you’re going on about, your dissonance is really at an all time high.
I made no assertions whatsoever, just that the hell piece was greatly exaggerated, so what are you even accusing me of? Go back and read what I said, you made up what you said above in your head bro.

It must have been so tough for your family to move from one European country to another conquered by Europeans.
Every country Europeans have gone to they have done the worst imaginable things. Rape, kidnapping, tortured, even staved to death the local population. During WW2 an estimated 800,000–3.8 million Bangladeshis died because Churchill starved them to death. Europeans have never come as guests.
You went to Portugal and instead of talking about how good the local food was you complained about how bad the sushi was. You won't assimilate so why should anyone else?

also hondaracer: "democratic socialist countries have it best"
did not have that on my bingo card!
It isn’t that hard to understand.
This version of the liberals is just as far away as what I outlined as ideal as the conservatives are. Again, the fact that a decade of this has resulted in worse outcomes for pretty much everyone outside the wealthy elite kinda underlines the liberals don’t give a fuck about these social issues either. It’s all just lip service. We spent a decade pandering to special interest groups
And THEN Trump 2.0 came along. We were already circling the bowl long before Trump got elected again.
As I said, and not one person responded. Let’s raise taxes. Let’s tax everyone at the rate these Scandinavian countries do. Let’s do even MORE
Can one of you say, if we did that, our problems would be resolved? Please, tell me they would be.
You can’t because you know it wouldn’t happen. We’d find some new way to fuck it up.
People are so jaded by political incompetence, they would never even consider it because they know, nothing would change.
If there was a referendum right now about raising taxes to address homelessness, mental health, and addiction I’d vote yes in a heart beat, even with Carney in charge. However, I think the majority of the population would not.
