Hey We're getting into the action too!
has got of be one of the most Canadian things ever lol- Screwdrivers? That’s a new one to meGnash
- what is the screwdriver shirt?Milan
- lol actually I was hoping you'd shed some light on them, must be super obscure_niko
- It's a neo-nazi band. Fuck arguing with nazis, should've laid him out.Milan
- https://twitter.com/…Milan
- it would be funny if he was just an otherwise innocent DIY fan and bought the t-shirt from a second hand store.
"Yeah! I fucking love screwedrivers!"Nairn - https://www.youtube.…nb
- Don't you dudes got the internet?! https://en.wikipedia…ideaist

Half of all Canadians say there are too many immigrants: poll
https://nationalpost.com/news/ca…What is going on up there?
- Same thing that's happening everywhere else in the world. Influence from false narratives pushed by extreme right-wing populists. Canada isn't immune.Continuity
- That having been noted, I'd be interest to see the demographic breakdown of the people interviewed for polls like this. Exclusively WASP Canadians?Continuity
- New arrivals? 1st generation? I would imagine that immigrants from certain regions and/or religious affiliations would let their grievances with other ...Continuity
- ... groups do the talking. For example, Montréal Jews probably aren't keen on Muslims moving into the city, I expect. Et cetera.Continuity
- All of that to say: yes, I'm sure there's a increasing extreme right-wing agitation being relfected in these polls (I see you, Alberta and New Brunswick) ...Continuity
- ... but I would take it with a grain of salt, anyway.Continuity
- Yeesh. -1 for typos and shit grammar.Continuity
- Asking Canadians if they have concerns about something... Have you met one? they're just fucking virtue-signalling if they say no.kingsteven
- So you’re saying the poll is a lie? You seriously think they only surveyed white Protestants?nb
- https://i.imgur.com/…
this is from the same survey but they choose to omit that immigration is fairly low on the list of worries.kingsteven - Scaremongering at its finest.Salarrue
- Feels like you’re ignoring the fact that many immigrants, even 1st gen, do not want more immigrants. This is very common human naturenb
- Settlement-sector clickbaitkingsteven
- I suppose it’s possible that this poll is a radically false narrative but you have no evidence other than your own opinion about what people thinknb
- it's not wrong. it's just research wrapped in an article that is trying to make it more seditious than it is. of course people have concerns about immigrationkingsteven
- There are people sleeping on the streets cause there is no where to live:
https://www150.statc…
now = 41m people, 2022 = 38meveryangle - https://shorturl.at/…everyangle
- Could be just racist wasps like continuity said but honestly, you want to see real racism go up to Woodbridge or Thorncliffe or Richmond hill, it’s everywhere..._niko
- And established immigrant communities are the worst. Quebec I’m sure skews it too since they want to protect their quebecness. So 50% isn’t bad considering..._niko
- lol "quebec and the rest of canada" they're trying to fight everybody!pango
- @nb I don't know that the poll is ultimately a lie. I suspect it's not being entirely truthful or trustworthy, however. Also: the National Post.Continuity
- Not the most balanced or trustworthy publication out there.Continuity
- @_niko We'll never know if it's WASPs or someone else. The methodologies behind these polls aren't exactly transparent.Continuity
- Also as a curiosity, if they interviewed Canadas' indigenous population and asked them if there are too many immigrants I think the result would be 100% yes lol_niko
- ^ lol you're not wrong!Continuity
- if you're at least 15% native you pay minimal taxes and receive gov't benefits. That's entitlement we can all get behind.hotroddy
- canadian gov did fuck them over pretty bad. but as a pinochet supporter, you probably don't care about that.pango
- pango, feel free to lead by example and remove yourself from the first nation's land.hotroddy
- because that's coming from you i'm not gonna do that :) i'll instead advocate for my gov to give them more assistance.pango
- how convenient for youhotroddy
- nahh more like petty. because it's your idea lolpango

Real-time population clock:
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/…
We're not against immigrants, we are all immigrants here. The rate of population growth is irresponsible and unsustainable.
- 6 weeks away from 41 million. Wowza!nb
- In Toronto, high end hotels have been converted into homeless shelters all over the city. Over 1.5 billion / year is being spent on hotels for the homeless!!!everyangle
- https://www.toronto.…everyangle
- https://rb.gy/fmwdue…everyangle
- Only 41 Million? That's not even half of Germany. And I think Canada would have some more space left.Longcopylover
- Yes Canada has tons of space, most of which is beautiful wilderness. So as long as you don’t mind campingnb
- But seriously, 41 million isn’t too many people. I think people are more shocked at the rate of population growth...nb
- Any Canadian I ever chatted to longer than a half hour would try to convince me to move there. I'd never say to someone to move to Scotland, LOLPhanLo
- Canadians thing VERY highly of themselves lolnb
- *thinknb
- Canada can easily intake 300,00 - 500,000 people annual. Germany takes in less than 300,000. Currently we are on track to intake 2m this year alone.everyangle
- Housing and rent have soared due to high demand and low supply. You need to built the infrastructure first, not just dump people on the streets.everyangle
- Just today, 4000 - 5000 people will arrive looking for somewhere to stay. They need transit services, housing support, so Toronto and Vancouver primarily.everyangle
- it's disgusting to see humans being treated like cattle, completely irresponsible.everyangle
- @nb, not six weeks away, one week away from 41m - check next weekeveryangle
- Canada has room, just not in the 3 cities all newcomers go toGnash
- @gnash - 100% agree. it's the short term impact that leaves people homeless and desperateeveryangle
- It’s not easy to get to the other cities in Canada, either. Hop on a 5-day Greyhound from Toronto to Calgary? Don’t lose your headnb
- Greyhound ended operations in Canada not long ago.everyangle

As some of you might know I stopped working in advertising and moved out to Alberta to work in the oil patch. There is a real following for this guy out here. He talks like everyone here and acts like everyone here. If you ever wondered what it would be like to make a career change this guy could be your co-worker.

This won’t mean much to most of you, but CBC saying Buffy is a pretendian is kinda crazy news
https://www.cbc.ca/newsinteracti…
Buffy Sainte-Marie’s claims to Indigenous ancestry are being contradicted by members of the iconic singer-songwriter’s own family and an extensive CBC investigation.
- the vampire slayer has not aged well.pango
- Yeah was reading this too. She looks native and was raised on a reserve by a native family who adopted her from another native family_niko
- So not sure how and why they claim she’s not native and if it even matters if that’s all she’s known and it’s how she was raised._niko
- Saying she was born in went to highscool in USA. Didn’t come to Canada til her teensGnash
- She’s a cool woman. Helped her with her very first website, back when everything was still dial-up modemsGnash
- Sorry just reading the article now, I read her interview earlier where she said how hurt she was about these accusations and then I read up on her life_niko
- —-but if this article is true it’s quite the hoax she’s perpetrated over her lifetime, just wow._niko
- lol her uncle told a local newspaper in 1967 that she was full of shit and had no Indian blood in her...just incredible_niko
- Oh, wow. That's wild.Continuity
- lol She joins a long list of wannabe Indians that are actually Italian like wrestler chief jay strongbow and the crying Indian from tv_niko
- What you also have to question is that to keep up appearances she was always over-dressing up as a native and I wonder how much that influenced other_niko
- ...indigenous people to do the same since she was such an icon when in fact they would have been happy dressing more contemporary like everyone else_niko
- Man, looking back at her performances and images of her when she was younger and with the benefit of hindsight, her eye shape is a a dead giveaway she looks..._niko
- ... italian and lacks the epicanthic fold typically associated with indigenous peoples eyes_niko
- But thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole Gnash, just fascinating, what a story._niko
- I was on her Wikipedia page yesterday and not a mention of anything, today, it’s completely changed to reflect the cbc article._niko
- Her adoptive tribe doesn't care they see her as one of their own and rightly so but she continues to double down, just fess up_niko
- https://twitter.com/…_niko
- This is an incredible story, truly. It's a bit tough to digest, just because it was just accepted fact when I was growing up that was Canada's pre-eminent ...Continuity
- ... First Nations folk singer and, as such, a national treasure. Like niko, though, the more I read and think about it all, the more it unravels. Surreal.Continuity

Now if they can only start pressing charges against dudes for pretending to be women lol
- do women get government benefit? cuz that's what's really at issue.pango
- for real asking. anybody?pango
- ^ When men go to a women’s jail, they benefitGnash
- ya i suppose. but that requires one to go to jail and most people would avoid that. was thinking something along the side of tax break and stuffs.pango
- something that's more guaranteed. although definitely more than average of men has more physical strength than average women. but not guaranteed.pango
- You said it, cisterGnash
- yeepango
- They get the advantage of leaving a sinking ship first, also get free into clubs. And uhm free drinks?_niko
- But I do think they get more government benefits as women https://www150.statc…_niko
- Well if enough men pretend to be women, I'm pretty sure people are going to stop giving out free club and free drinks.pango
- Overall, it’s seems men are better at being womenGnash
- Yup we women better than womenpango
- Don’t get your point here Niko. This is about people faking being native to get native benefits.hydro74
- Glinner has joined the chat.face_melter
- You can get into study programs which have gender quotas, you change your gender back afterwards, of course. Like changing phone carriersdrgs
- it's that easy to change?
damn we should all be womenpango - Hydro to tell you the truth I didn’t read past the headline, I read about this story months ago when they were first outed and caused a stir, didn’t realize it_niko
- ...had to do with benefits otherwise I wouldn’t have made my snarky comment._niko
- But if men can benefit in other ways like competing as women in sports for money or prizes maybe they should be charged for fraud as well_niko
- There are virtually zero benefits for female to male transgenders, when I think about itdrgs
- Making tribal misrepresentation into a trans conversation? Talk about irrelevant.imbecile
- But I guess the point then becomes that as long as there is no benefit, direct or otherwise then it’s ok? We could all walk around in blackface and it’s ok?_niko
- ...as long as it’s respectful and you’re not cashing in in any way. Same with 50 year old men that think they’re toddlers and wear diapers, it’s should be ok_niko
- To hang out in kiddie pools and play in ball pits and other fun things 6 year olds do as long as he doesn’t try to claim child benefit cheques..._niko
- personally none of it effects me, I can't care less what people do in their personal lives, for me it's just all part if the absurdity of life but I guess..._niko
- I just don't get why we vilify one group or groups and praise others when at the end of the day they're all the same thing._niko
- All-girl gamer league
https://twitter.com/…Gnash - yes niko. black face is ok. I encourage you to do it.

You thought it as funny, kicking our ass all those years in the sweltering heat and humidity or the Azteca Stadium? with 100,000 fans raining down boos and bags of piss?
You though the bus breakdowns, non-working elevators in the hotels and 3am fire alarms were hilarious?
well, how do you like these apples:

Blackface hasn't done shit for Canada over the past 4 years. What makes you think he's going to do anything now?
Scheer was the best option for the country both socially and fiscally. He is a lot closer to the middle than past PC leaders. Just because he's conservative every likens him to Trump which couldn't be further from the truth.
- NYC? Really?ideaist
- I feel we're looking more and more like a 2 party system. Black. White.ideaist
- The middle is gone; politically, economically, etc.ideaist
- A Canadian can live in NYC last time I checked.MarleyMarl
- Canadians love USA, they very confident here cause they always have free stuff to fall back on if they can't make it here...robotron3k
- Scheer has zero experience... just a puppet of the petrol industry as Trudeau.Salarrue
- Never heard a single person liken Scheer to Trump. People do liken him to Stephen Harper though. You must be hearing this from Americans or something.T-Dawg
- and even then, he's harper light_niko
- I'm gay, tell me again how Scheer would be better for me than Trudeau.i_monk
- oh yeah Scheer... fuck the climate change y'all. No thanks, he's the worst option.Bennn
- Too early to judge Scheer, only 40 & his 1st election as leader. His party had a new leader in 2004 (also Lib minority) who 2 yrs later became PM for a decade.BustySaintClaire
- It's not too early to judge Scheer, his parliamentary record is 15 years long.i_monk
- Best option socially? Come again...
and best option fiscally? Prove that one out historically, what conservative ever set us up well for the long haul?ben_ - I didn’t vote for Trudeau or Scheer and I’m happy with a minority gov, JT is in check and on notice.ben_
- Harper and Mulroney, the last two Con PMs, have the worst post-war economic record. Scheer is Harper's man and would have joined him on that list.i_monk
- /\ exactly.ben_
