Fuck. I hope Canada has some open slots for immigrants.
Canada has an increasing anti immigrant sentiment right now. They've announced big cut backs to the number of immigrants allowed. Furthermore, moving to another country is difficult and expensive. It's not a realistic option for most people.
Tbh most of the ire aimed at immigrants here is specifically targeted to either Indian or Ukrainian migrants. Infrastructure is genuinely buckling under the weight of migration but it's a case of too little investment and not entirely the result of immigration.
I can say as a white, western immigrant to Canada that I've never had anyone complain about my immigration however I've had locals complain about immigration to me forgetting that I am indeed one of the immies.
They are angry at Ukrainians? Shiiiiit....
Not in my experience, no. It doesn't seem to be an issue with any particular group, although some people may be more vocal about Indian immigrants in particular - for what seems to be racially motivated reasons in my opinion.
The main complaint is that we've allowed too many people all at once and we now face issues with the lack of housing availability and affordability, the state of the economy, overpopulation and the potential strain on public resources.
From what I can gather, Canada seems to be following the same trend as the US just shifted back a few years
I'll marry one of ya's
Until a trumper does something fucked up and the border gets closed off.
Seconded
Ok just hurry up and get your citizenship so you can help us vote against the guy who's trying to be like Trump, thnx.
Sucks here but welcome
Their country has a severe housing crisis.
Canada will soon be electing a conservative government.
Kinda douchey to be a dick towards those who fought against it, don’t you think?
What do you mean “you pricks”? I am not American. I am German. And I think you are having a panic attack.
Not arguing against the things you wrote possibly happening. Hell, I think it will be even worse than that.
But these people also didn’t want any of this. Let’s not be awful against those who need a blanket and a hug, please?
American here. I would totally take you up on that hug there, mein bruder. This feels pretty damn awful. :(
I'm still holding out some kinda vague hope for the "final numbers" but...right now I'm not alone in feeling a little lost and confused at what we're about to go through and what the heck life will look like in the near future.
A lot of previous elections felt like empty hype and doomsaying but this one feels like we're gonna feel it immediately.
God help us all.
I'm in one of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states....I've voted in every major and local election since I was old enough, I've protested, I've tried to get people to vote, I've marched, I've tried to kindly change minds through patience....I've been doing it since high school and I don't know what else I can personally do. If people hit the streets, I'll be there. But I'm with you, it's like no matter what I personally do things are burning around me and this election proves there's much more hate in this world than I'd hoped. I still think there's light in everyone, but I can understand why people are angry with us... we're dropping the ball hard as a country. meanwhile I'll just be sitting here in the middle of the night, wide awake but exhausted, hugging my dog because we have no control and I know half the voters are okay with taking away my rights. Sending hopeful feelings for you to wherever else in the country you are.
I really appreciate this. I'm stuck awake and exhausted too. My house all voted and did what we could, here in NV, but I hate that nagging feeling that it wasn't enough.
I'm praying to maintain that fervor, that raging fire to believe in good and fortify against coming evil... But it's one crisis out of our hands to the next, and I'm just so tired. :(
I find myself returning more and more often to the ever and increasingly relevant:
Ephesians 6:12-17
Eph 6:12-18 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;You too, friend. We're still here. We'll get through this one day at a time.
Thank you so much for voting. I'm still hopeful as well but don't see myself sleeping anytime soon. As you said...I'm just so tired of it all but know it's just the beginning. Thanks for being my virtual anxiety buddy!
Nothing will fundamentally change in the Israel policy, it's just that now people will start caring because it's orange man doing it instead of genocide Joe
Popular vote says otherwise. The majority wanted this.
Did they do more than just vote?
I n voted for Harris but agree with you. We need to stay and clean up our mess. Because were are we going run to. America doesn't just affect America but whole world. We need to fight not run.
Fellow Canadian here and I don't like being overly harsh with my criticisms ...... but I'm with you on this.
I'm a native too, a trump administration would happily see us and our people systematically "removed"
I'm in that country and can't disagree. I was just paraphrasing the line from the Joker movie to a friend of mine,"We're going to get exactly what we deserve."
The people fleeing it are exactly the people you'd want to see.
Actually, given the senseless over-generalization, you might prefer seeing your spiritual brothers, the republicans.
You should build a big wall and make them pay for it!
You assholes exported Gavin McInnes and the Proud Boys to us, not the other way around. Shut the fuck up you stupid piece of shit.
