#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#personally...everytime i hear about Canada sending other countries millions upon millions of dollars, i think "oh that's nice...help everyone else, but not your own citizens". personally, i think the way these tpes of things should be handled by the PM saying "OK what to we have to improve in Canada for our citizens to be happy? OK...this & this & this & this" "OK, now we have 1 mil. $ left over to help another country....who needs it the most??" Help yourself before helping others - not exactly selfish when we're talking about a country of millions of people.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#xena - teen pregnancies & drug addictions, are, i think, a result of a combination of things....poor community resources, lack of parenting, lack of education, and poor decisions in making choices...but they've made their bed, & now they must lie in it. i personally can't stand the fact that my hard earned money goes toward supporting things like drug clinics in TO....oh yes, let's open up an safe-zone injection "clinic" for all the addicts to come & get high in. no one asked me if i wanted my money spent on that, no one asks me if i want my money given to those welfare scammers who are too darn lazy to get off their butts & make something of their lives.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#anyways - that's a whole other kettle of fish#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#graciespook wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#LOL BT....this is a topic thats really close to me and I'm very emotional about it. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I've been negatively affected by these situations. And homeless people, (and this is going to come out the wrong way) are not the ones living off welfare and sending their 4 children to school on my tax dollar. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Help your canadian first. Help develop better programs to maintain our own population. The problem with growing too fast, is that we can't support the economy and things will crash and burn. Take the high tech boom...a surplus in money and interest caused it to bloom, and there wasn't enough to sustain it. The unemployment rate went up and there were more people living off UI than there was before. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Support the economy we have. Thats my mantra. Whether it be immigrants, well to dos, or regular middle class people such as myself (although hovering on the poor mark due to the horse ) its not fair for the people who make money to support everyone who does not. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#If we bring immigrants in, lets teach them. Lets offer more education on how to contribute to society--classes for language being mandatory, skill sets they need to survive to have a job in CANADA. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Support the existing economy. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#xena_n_joss wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Being so unreceptive to immigrants is just as close minded as the America.s This is the way Americans feel about immigrants. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#i totally disagree with that remark P4S. the americans have their "melting pot" system, whereby they expect all immigrants to assimilate into the rest of the american society & culture, where as we in Cnada actually celebrate different cultures/religion, etc, and we encourage all cultures to celebrate their beliefs, etc........#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#i have no problem with people coming to Canada for a better life, but when they flat out refuse to "integrate", even partially (and im not saying they need to blend in totally, but respect the many other cultures within our multi-cultural country), and want to give all other cultures flack for expressing their beliefs & traditions- that isn't right.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#Positively4thStreet wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Canadians need to have some respect and stop using Americans as their role models...
