They don't seem to big fans of the alphabet soup gang.

But free Palestine and all...

I look forward to Frank's scripted response to this couple

Nothing wrong with a group with similar practices having a holiday together. Naturists and swingers rent hotels and cruise boats, same difference.
Yeah so here's the difference...Said swingers wouldn't be welcome at the ''Muslim friendly'' resort whereas the Muslims would be welcome at the swinger resort.

Islam isn't inclusive....

I bet a lot more immigrants left Canada than we know
even in the good years. Canada is good for migrants
from politically volatile regions to come here to secure
a retirement in the future free from political uncertainties.
A lot of migrants left after they got their citizenship.

If you are truly that unhappy, revoke your Canadian citizenship. When one of your top challenges is that you didn't grow up vacationing on a beach you truly don't understand what a blessing Canadian citizenship is.

Canada has challenges, problems for sure. Inflation is rampant around the world, e.g. Argrentina, UK, and the Turkey.

Racism is rampant around the world. Just watch the news. It is wrong but at least in Canada most Canadian politicians speak out against it.

Stepping over the homeless is not pleasant, and drug use is a out of control. As a society Canada must solve this crisis. We are not unique in this problem.

Please leave and allow someone who values what we have take your place. And remember, give up your citizenship so that we don't have to pay for you to emergency vacate your next home.

And then when shit hits the fan in their cluster fuck country they start the BS "we are Canadian citizens, come save us!" The shoul be a limit on this citizenship of convenience. I am an immigrant, moved to Canada back in 1970. Canada has always been expensive VS the US and other countries ( except Europe) people have selective memories when it comes to the "good old days." If you don't like Canada then leave, and live elsewhere and be happy.

Yair as an immigrant meself, it is very disrespectful to trash the place that allowed you to come and stay.
If you don't like it...off ya go.
I remember our old PM John Howard saying: "if you want sharia law, Australia is not the place for you. Go elsewhere."

In many cases of immigrants who left after getting citizenship it is
old-age benefits not protection from the country they fled that drew
them back to Canada.

Didn't he also say " you came here on your own, we didn't ask you to come here"? or something along those lines

I think when an immigrant leaves the country their Canadian citizenship and those benefits should be revoked permanently.
And never be allowed to return.

I'll keep it positive.
-There are some things I totally agree with.
-Other things, I'm happy they're willing to find places that align with their ideology instead of forcing us to align with them. I can respect that.

that wont work

lots of people spend years working in several different countries over their careers
after experiencing a number of different cultures, climates etc. their preference maybe to return to Canada
ie best place in their opinion to start a family or the best place in their opinion to retire

FYI
We do need some immigration as our workforce is aging and Canada birth rate is too low to sustain economic growth
However we need to limit the volumes and select the immigrants with the specific skill sets we need, even better if they start a business
Justin the moron has kicked the doors wide open and that is not working

Try having those swingers go to a "Christian Friendly" resort. Or try enrolling at Brigham Young and carrying a cup of coffee to class everyday. Or go to India, and forget swingers and nudists, try setting up a strip club in Mumbai and see what the majority conservative Hindus have to say.

Then come back and tell me it is only Islam that isn't inclusive.

Ignorance is not reason.



No it is not disrespectful. Every country has its positives and negatives. I was born and raised in India, and I trash it all the time when I speak to friends and family. Similarly, I trash Canada for certain other things.

The people in the video are Canadian citizens, and they are allowed to say what they want to say. Why did you think they were immigrants? They literally were born and raised here and have a Canadian accent. So the fact that they were Muslim immediately made you think they were immigrants?. That seems to be your unconscious bias, where you think, only someone white and Christian is Canadian.

Even former immigrants, and current citizens like you and me, are allowed to trash Canada. Many right wingers (white guys born and raised here) on this forum trash Canada and complain that it has deteriorated - this very post being an example. So why can't newer citizens like you and me, trash Canada? This nonsensical expectation that just because you chose to immigrate here, you should always be appreciative of everything, even if there are things that are not appreciable, is not just illogical but also sets you up for 'citizenship classes', which don't (and should not) exist.



Oh, really? Firstly, that is a violation of constitutional rights and the Canadian government does not and should not have the power to do that. Secondly, how long after would you recommend revoking a person's citizenship? What is this North Korea? That if you have citizenship, you MUST stay here at all costs, or else? Idiotic.
Why come here and then decide to leave? That's idiotic.
I'll also add the Ontario government can and does make you ineligible for OHIP coverage if you are out of the province for more than 153 days in a 12 month period. So you see the government does have the power to deny you benefits.

To be eligible for OHIP you must: Be a Canadian citizen or have immigration status as set out in Ontario's Health Insurance Act. Have your permanent and main home in Ontario. Be physically present in Ontario for 153 days in any 12-month period.

Leaving after citizenship is granted in many cases are
decisions made well before entry to Canada. I know a
couple in such a case who has returned by the time they
are nearly old enough to collect old age benefits. Some
immigrants came with teenage kids to avoid payment
of hefty high school and university tuition for visa students.
Once landed some may just headed back to their real
home country leaving their kids behind even before
they become citizens.

OHIP is not the issue. If you are not in Canada for 153 days per 12 month period, you automatically lose your health insurance and have to reapply after coming back, and it will take 90 days to take effect. Similarly, you will not qualify for other benefits - even EI, if you are out of Canada. Where do you see issues here?

And why wouldn't people come here and then decide it is not for them? How would you know how it is to live in another country, without moving there in the first place?
You answered your own question.
You decide it's not for you and then change your mind to come back? Idiotic, right?
