| Hi again BCMc: Oh it's a complex issue but I'm a "job activist" and can make some pretty simple, unifying points. Canada is about good jobs. It's what the immigrants come here for. They are concerned about the rent, pensions and middleclass opportunity for their children. As a "job a... |

| Ten pages of response. Immigration remains a high interest issue. Here I asked about cultural issues and there was some exasperation with multiculturalism and some response to that that immigration has always worked. I don't see any simple points that are safe to talk about and could be acted on, t... |

| Bmc, I never read past the first few lines. Long posts are destined never to be read. It should be on the forum FAQ's. Your privilege and choice to be sure. Point taken and duly noted. I am not on here for long, and administrators could transfer any of my posts to another area of this forum if that... |

| BCMc There are so many errors in those three train wrecks called posts that I don't know where to start, but I'll start by dispelling some of the 'beliefs' you have. If you don't think people who can't speak English aren't smart, there's little hope for you. Science, believe it or not, is not and E... |

| Heh, so that's lots on different cultural issues there BCMc. The title of this thread that you started says" "Multi culturalism IS a hot button issue." I would say my view reflects many Canadians views (those who don't have computers) or are elderly and sit and shake their heads at s... |

| Oh and a little note to you out there in Canada who want to diss the working man in coal mines, paper industries, logging, or forestry, or truckers etc. You would not all be able to sit in heated, lit highrises, writing on the internet or anything without those men (and women) who are willing to wor... |

| Bootlegga. Oh and I am not going to debate all your points it would take too long. Asian students or international students don't ski, or go take photos or trapse around hiking trails and enjoy themselves in Canada? Wow? And I know Chinese people living here for eons, I am not talking about those fa... |

| No. 1. You seem to be on a track that I do not agree with about this University issue and international students. I wonder which part of Canada you were born in that you want seas of students flocking into your schools and shoving out Canadian students. I wonder if you have children? and perhaps so... |

| Thanks for the posts BCMs. I loved your 4 p's. Politicians piss poor planning. This is actually a fact of life. As an activist I have rather a good collection of mail from the MPs. They are taking a look at immigration, especially the Liberals. At least the back bench is. There's a real problem in ... |

| The best growth years and surgence in Canada (building on those who came centuries before occurred when immigration had severe caps). That was the early 40's to the 70's btw. Look at our history back then. Better schools, resources, amenities and hospital medical care was second to none in the worl... |

| Thanks for the buck 12/80 rant BCMc. This is what I posted the thread for, the cultural limits to immigration's popularity. There have been lots of threads here at CKA on immigration but I wanted to know if multi-cultural issues were becoming thread bare. Culture is a complex issue but I wanted to ... |

The way in the back door to get people from ones homeland permanent status. Fine by me. They contribute more financially to the system. They pay 3 times what Canadian stud... |
