LOL how is it that you guys always take one thing that Hehe or someone else says, and just run with it. As if that one thing makes whoever's argument automatically invalid.

Whichever country said no turbans or smt, good for them. Someone claimed it was Islamaphobic, but in that case, gtfo their country then lol.

Also have you guys not seen that shit floating around of where Sikh or the other one Indians are saying they're gonna force their culture down the throats of Canadians and force everyone to assimilate to their values?? Imagine inviting these people into our homes and letting them wash our Canadian values and cultures away lol.

I don't see any subtle flexing here... None at all. :ifyouknow:

What has changed about Canadian culture with the influx of Indians? What is different? What laws are changing? What do you have to do differently right now?
Man I don’t give a fuck what these dudes wear on their heads or the food they make or whatever. It has literally zero effect on me. It has never had an effect on me. It never will. It’s just a perceived bias because it’s easier to notice a dude in a turban behaving poorly than it is to notice a Chinese guy or a white guy because there are 50% more Chinese guys and white guys around. Some retarded immigrant saying he’s going to force me to be Sikh happens way less often than some retarded white guy saying he’s going to force me to be Christian, which is actually a valid concern when it comes to lawmaking in this country. Look at Alberta.

i feel like that is some fear mongering shit. like ok you saw a vid of someone saying it. that is the stance of some insignificant portion of that group. explain how you would think they would force their culture down our throat? by having a wedding tent in their backyard? i live in surrey and i don't see what you are afraid of. yes their culture is visible, so is chinese culture in richmond.

I didn’t say there’s no racism. I said it’s not so much of an issue that we make out to be. Racism at its core is stereotyping. The whites are xxx, the blacks are yyy, the Chinese are zzz and so on.

In China, it’s just taken as part of life. Lao-wai (old foreigner by literal translation) is racist by western definition, but it never stopped the public from using it. Why? Because it’s not meant in a defamatory way. It’s just how they call foreigners in general in colloquial settings.

We here in Canada, we make such a deal out of anything. Any slight disagreement is discriminatory by default. Why is that? Why can’t people learn to actually care about more important stuff and instead focusing on meaningless stuff just so that we are politically correct. People are having problems with paying their bills or getting proper health care. And yet our government and people is more interested in whether they are pronouncing a word politically correct.

In the end, it doesn’t concern me. I’m in a position that in the worst case scenario, I pack up the bags and go. I have 3 citizenships and 2 permanent residency status that gives me a lot of flexibilities. But it just saddens me that Canada has come to this. Where people and our government care more about their face than what’s actually good for people.

While not the same thing, but there is a large Islamic contingent here in Mississauga West where a group of people wanted to have loud speakers play prayers 24/7 (or something like that) at their mosque. It's been squashed, but this group keeps insisting. How you perceive this is up to you.

Having experienced a safer environment or rather feeling safe for the first time since the 2010 Olympics recently, I'd be considering a move as well. I could care less about HK's problems with the CCP, at least it feels safe and they can actually see a damn doctor when they need to. Hell one of my friends who moved to HK, 9 years ago, mentioned that the easiest way to spot a Westerner/European is to watch how protective they are over their bags LOL. For ref, the airport bus has a specific area for luggage, but us Westerners/Europeans prefer to keep it in between our legs lol. Hell I didn't even realize I was hyper active about my surroundings until buddy pointed it out and I walked like an hour in the middle of the night checking over my shoulders for nothing.

Channeling my inner HondaRacer, Vancouver (in general) is so unsafe that I accidentally did my laundry and touristy roamed around in the largest brothel district in Osaka and western Japan LOL. Yeah, it felt grungy, rundown and almost sketchy with the locals staring you down and you feel obviously out of place, but nothing like Vancouver on a regular basis. I didn't know this was a legitimately sketchy neighborhood till I told a Japanese bartender who said "I'm Japanese and I would NEVER venture into that area"

Not what I'm saying and you guys know that's not what I'm saying lol. Ok, so it is an insignificant portion of that group, why isn't our government doing anything about it? That screams like threats of terrorism to me.. but OH NOOOO WE DONT WANNA BE RACIST WAH

idk, maybe post the vid then. unless they are threatening attacking people then i don't see how this hits the high bar of terroristic threats..
i know islamic extremists want the world to align with their view, but personally i've never met sikhs that try to push their religion and culture down our throats.
never seen a sikh stand on a corner with a GURU NAKAK WILL COME AGAIN sign, and never had a sikh come to my door. those are things white people do.

Well what do you mean. Someone is saying they are going to make us all Sikh? When has that ever happened. Are they threatening violence if we don’t convert? Like what is the context of all these people forcing their way of life on us? As far as I know we have free will here and we are pretty safe here in Canada from any religious terrorism so I’m really just not feeling this pressure to assimilate to some sort of minority group.

^yah plus you look stupid in a turban.

I however, look like Jasmine's fat dad.... minus the beard, and the skintone... and the nose... uhhhhh

What the fck is your uneducated ass talking about. Sikhs have never tried to convert anyone and never will. It goes against there core believes. Sikhs don't care what religion you are. Sikhs have literally died protecting other religions.

When it comes to conversions Christians are the worst.

Bic_baws falling into those X algorithm tropes bigtime

wtf looking over your shoulder all the time? I lived in Richmond and Vancouver for 46 years I never looked over my shoulder except a few instances here and there if it was late at night and I’m by myself and heard footsteps or something like that

Weed and algos got you paranoid bro

PS this does not mean I’m some wank yelling “dats wacist!!!!” at everything

If you think Vancouver is so unsafe that you'd rather live under the CCP you should probably talk to a therapist or something.

china is tight now because cameras are everywhere

it is pretty fucked up here that they can't arrest the guy that try to steal the cat off my truck even though I have 4k footage and the truck he drove was his personal vehicle :lawl:

No, I said I didn't realize that I was normally being hyperactive about my surroundings. And definitely always late at night or hearing weird sounds. You definitely walk around late at night less as an adult - we all drive now. You ever walk around downtown late at night or around like 8/9pm when no one is around? LOL

I don't think the CCP (or rather politics) will affect me as a normal non-politically outspoken person as much as having to pay more than 13% for income tax, having to be hyper aware of surroundings, having to pay more money to have hobbies/eat/travel than here, etc

Yeah, the living size sucks. But on the opposite end, I also have all this useless space... Makes no difference,

At least, if someone robs me in HK, they'll actually be put in jail instead of a revolving door of catch and release. Crazy that the only people actually punished here are law abiding citizens lol - people with something to lose. Say what you will about big brother gov society, but like why does a normal person need privacy - you're not doing anything fucked up. What's the gov gonna do? Watch me jerk off? Plus if you really had to be worried about govvy surveillance, you're probably already being watched and if not that, your internet metadata has all your info - makes no difference.

Dude when did you start sounding like a bad X feed? Honestly? Especially that whole "If you're not doing anything wrong why does surveillance matter" ideology is bonkers dude. You have ZERO control over when they decide to use that data for nefarious reasons or stomp all over your rights / rug pull you from what you expect to be a norm... just hand that to them on a silver platter for nothing? Well good luck to you if you move, not sure how you plan to afford HK if you can't afford Van.

And yah I used to work in downtown for 7 years, 9 days every 2 weeks so I spent lots of time down there at all times of day nevermind going to tonnes of concerts and bar functions... I didn't die after I turned 35 lol... and given my proximity to the Canada Line I walked to/from that for all my transpo, no cars into downtown.

Where you getting all these kwazee cupcake ideas from? Law abiding citizens being punished? How? Where? When? I've never been punished for anything... speeding tickets?? No idea what you're going on about man.

I mean if you want to move and you like somewhere better, more power to you... but acting like BC or Canada has fucked you over/put you into some kind of bad position somehow is not a hot take.

Stop being a pussy.

Beijing is soooo much nicer than Vancouver.

bic baws got sick, must be the 5g vaccine he got

So why do you live in Canada?

To vote conservative, bro.

Cheers,

Bro!!!
