I would say the thread topic is a farce because they couldn't of even seen the other where they were sitting watching the parade. Thus the split screen and not a wide screen shot. From what I am seeing is each delegation had its own seating area americans, canadians, australians russians ect ect. They are pretty far apart and Putin being short didn't help.

Yep, that 3% of the Canadian population that is Muslim is going to impose Sharia law on the country any day now.

they will increase both in number and proportion of the country — 2.7 million, or 6.6% of the Canadian population, by 2030. By comparison, Muslims are expected to make up 1.7% of the U.S. population by that time.
You're probably one of them, and this is just the musilms. Don't forget about Indians and pakis and chinese and god knows what else. we are allowing temporary foriegn workers a year into our country on TOP of our immigration and giving them the right to stay as citizens wtf? that's not temporary. They are displacing real Canadians, we have about 10% real unemployment here and bringing in about 500,000 ignorant immigrants a year.

Whoever made that cartoon is a moron. Russia has been cooperating with the US in trying to reign in Iran's nuclear weapons program and the US/Russia relations have never contained a significant gay rights agenda.

I guess that's what happens when you get your political cartoons from reagan.com though, haha.

One need look no further than your post to find ignorance. Canada's unemployment rate is 7%. The 2014 immigration policy is about half of what you state.

A lot of people stopped looking for work and are not counted in the EI figures.. have you ever heard of such a thing? Moron.

And Temporary foreign workers (who stay) are not counted in the immigration figures. We had 125,000 new foreign workers in the first 6 month of last year. That is equal to our crazy immigration numbers. Add it up or were you educated in iran?

As far as immigration, we are supposed to have 265,000 immigrants this year. Can you immagine if america had 2.6 million immigrants a year most of which are 3rd worlders and on top of that an equal number of low skill 3rd worlders as temporary foriegn workers but are allowed to apply for citizenship? 5 million new low skill immigrants that is way worse than what they are suffering now from mexico.


and the only reason we have these damn immigrants is so politicians can shore up their voting districts. For that we give away our country.

Awww how cute. Name calling. Last resort of the ill informed.

I'm sure you realize that it would be mathematically impossible to come even close to the yearly numbers you claim even if every temporary worker stayed beyond their permits right?

why would it be mathematically impossible? can't you count that high? I mean they are STATISTICS. FROM THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.

The number of temporary foreign workers admitted from January to June rose nearly 5 per cent compared to the same period in 2012 and nearly 20 per cent over 2011, according to preliminary estimates from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Slightly more than 125,000 temporary foreign workers entered Canada through the end of June, compared to 119,000 in 2012 and 100,000 to 105,000 from 2008 to 2011, a period affected by the 2008 recession.

It's not really that hard. Explain how that adds up to 500,000 a year annual immigration as you stated. I'll even let you assume that not a single one of them leaves the country at the expiry of their visas which we both know isn't the case. In fact the number is miniscule.

265,000 immigrants PLUS 125,000 temp workers in first 6 months.. so you times it by 2 hmm... equals 515,000. approx.

Do you understand the meaning of the words temporary worker?

Do you understand the meaning of the word immigrant?

Here's a hint. They don't mean the same thing.

Are you stupid? That's the entire controversy about Temporary Foreign worker program in Canada. They are allowed to apply for citizenship. They even bring their families over EXACTLY like immigrants. Do you even live in Canada? Go back to the library. Hell, in Alberta, the temporary foreign workers have a union and the union advances their citizenship applications.

Look at those blacks that were brought here to plant trees. They sued and got a $600,000 dollar settlement because they didn't like how they were kept. you know how long these cases take and they are still here in Canada. People lay off long term employees and temp workers then hire back only the temp workers, happening all the time now.

You must be a 3rd world immigrant because 74% of Canadians, real Canadians, want immigration STOPPED. I know we're all racists including David Suzuki, he wants it stopped as well.

74%? Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. Had you said tighter restrictions/limits then maybe but stopped? Just no.

You are sooo full of crap. Just for starters, temp foreign workers are *not* allowed to bring their families. That's either ignorance on your part or an outright lie.

As for "those blacks" they were awarded a total settlement of $600,000 to 55 workers who were abused by their employers.

"VANCOUVER - Racial taunts and other discriminatory behaviour aimed at a group of African workers has prompted the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal to order the owners of a tree planting firm to pay them more than $600,000 for injury to their dignity and self respect.


In a ruling released Friday, tribunal member Norman Trerise said the owners of Khaira Enterprises Ltd. had no regard for employment standards for the 55 workers who launched the human rights complaints.


As for their staying in Canada, you do know that pretty much anyone in the world can apply for Canadian citizenship don't you? Doesn't mean that they will get it and it just so happens that very few of the temp workers have the skills, money, and education to be accepted as citizens and if they were accepted, they'd be part of that roughly 250,000 legal immigrants that has been mentioned.

If you want to complain about something why don't you find something real to complain about.

Born and raised right here in Toronto. I'm as real a Canadian as you are, and my vote counts just as much.

Keep whining away on Internet message boards if it makes you feel any better. But I'd encourage my fellow Canadians to ignore you here as they do in person.

Okay, let's reign this in a bit and stop taking jabs at our president just because we don't like him. If you don't like him, then fine, but let's be smart here. Putin looks disinterested in that video because this is a 70th Anniversary D-Day Ceremony. While the Russians appreciate the opening of the Western Front during the Second World War, they largely recognize it as, "Meh." And yes, we can go in and argue who did what to contribute more to the war, but to them it's counted in human lives. The Russians lost between 20-25 million dead, and to them no opening of the Western Front, carpet bombing of Germany, or donation of war material can equate to that.

You can't expect Putin to go into the ceremony being all too chipper about it.

No, 74% of Canadians (didn't know there were any 'unreal' Canadians) are not wanting to stop immigration and that's an incredibly dishonest interpretation of Suzuki's position.

Continually using misrepresentations and outright lies isn't helping your case.

Hey why don't you use "the google" to prove me wrong? and by "unreal" i'm refering to all 3rd world immigrants in the last 25 years.

I'll prove i'm right. You might "get me" on a technicality here or there but I'm not lying at all. Further more, I have NEVER had a white person tell me in my ENTIRE LIFE we need more chinese or more Indians coming to Canada. If that poll was for whites.. you know the peolpe that built this country and culture, in fact built all first world cultures except south korea and japan (even though we were largely responsible for that as well) The poll would be like 99.9% stop immigration of 3rd worlders.

“Oh, I think Canada is full too! Although it’s the second largest country in the world, our useful area has been reduced. Our immigration policy is disgusting: We plunder southern countries by depriving them of future leaders, and we want to increase our population to support economic growth. It’s crazy!” David Suzi

That's the way people have to talk now a days in public but the message is clear. ANd guess what? At the bottom of that page there is a POLL - Do you think David Suziki has a point? and guess what the results are... 75% to 25%


Support for immigration limits was steady across the provinces and across party lines, with a range of between 64% and 77% among all regions and political affiliations, the Forum Poll showed.
You know the 3rd worlders are voting for unlimited immigration so the 77% is probably mostly white.
