@deniceeverham9467 I agree that as the generations go, people become much more culturally integrated. Or at least I agree that that is how it has traditionally worked. but that can only be maintained so long as the new culture the foreigners are going into is the overwhelming majority. but that’s not the case in many places in Canada. In many places in Canada, you can come to the country, and there is a large enough population from the old world that you never have to integrate. i’ve met tons of people who were born in Canada, who very closely adhere to the culture of their traditional homeland. The irony is that these practises would absolutely not be tolerated in any capacity in the places these people come from.

That’s because one has been around as long as jobs have existed, and the other is a very new phenomenon that compounds the problem

You absolutely nailed your explanation. Bang on. I am so sorry for the level of discourse your comment caused. Looking at these comments is frightening because this is the type of topic that you would want nuanced reasoning in. I’m from Vancouver, and there’s somebody below who’s talking about how housing prices aren’t a good or valid complaint. Bringing in far more people than replacement rate is an absolute recipe for disaster, full stop, end of story. And it severely hurts cultural integration when there are such giant pockets of people from your native area that you never actually have to assimilate in certain areas.

@jasonhael7799 housing costs are silly argument? It’s governments that decide immigration, quotes and governments that get in the way of building new supply. You never hear municipal governments. Tell the federal government to slow down on immigration. It’s absolutely government cause. I’m willing to bet that you don’t suffer from the extreme increase in housing costs.

@Aiphiae you might be correct, but you might be wildly incorrect. You have chosen to firmly state the least possible charitable interpretation of what was said. The statement could be be read a number of different ways. if this person is saying that you shouldn’t vote in the same people who’ve been perpetuating this nonsense, then that’s fantastic.

@deniceeverham9467 Way to completely skip over my entire point. If you're going to refute an argument, at least refute the actual argument

@Umme-45 for example?

@MuslimInAbby capitalism is the reason why there aren't enough houses? You believe that people want money because that's the basis of capitalism, correct? If housing prices are high, don't you think that everybody would be building as many as they possibly could to make that sweet, sweet money? Eventually they would build too many and there will be an oversupply and the prices will come down. That's how every market works. This is literally economics 101. The government makes it very difficult to build new housing, and........actually, explaining the mechanisms might not lead anywhere productive with this. Instead, I'll ask you simple question: might not lead anywhere productive with this. Instead, I'll ask you simple question: how would getting rid of capitalism suddenly mean that there were as many houses being built as we have immigrants coming in and increasing the population? It could not be a more basic example of supply and demand. How would a different form of government create the incredible volume of homes we would need? If we are bringing in more than 1 million people a year, then we would have to build enough homes that year to house 1 million people.

I like George Carlin, but that line was always so stupid because it was coming from a man who made tremendous amounts of money by bucking the system and doing it his way

@jamesandrew1750 exactly. I like George Carlin, but he has a couple of really big errors in his writing. “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it“ is brilliant, but saying you have to be asleep to believe the American dream is so patently absurd, especially coming from him. That system allowed him to live a life that was better than most people in history could ever even dream of. He got to make tremendous amounts of money by being a beloved celebrity and working when he wanted where he wanted. and he got there strictly based onmerit. I don’t care who your family is, if you’re not funny, people won’t buy tickets.

@kimmieutsunomiya1457 DEI helps poor people? Look up the statistics on who makes the most money. Whitey is 3rd, and with the young generation the females out earn the males by a decent amount because they have higher rates of university degrees. DEI is literally just an excuse for racists and sexists to do things they claim to hate, while wearing a halo. I've never met a woke person who wasn't openly a bigot, and that's because DEI is is literally about NOT judging people by the content of their character and instead judging them by immutable characteristics. By literal textbook definition, it's racist and sexist and bigoted. You guys like being that way, you just want to justify it.

“ the Carpenter‘s daughter could become a professors”?!? This is exactly why I hate academia so much. These people are so full of themselves and have such an elitist attitude. It’s beyond belief. There are carpenters that make more than university professors and he makes it sound like carpenters are just poor bums. Academics just can’t fathom the fact that other people bring value and get paid like it. they often talk like they champion the common man, but their actions and words very much betray this notion.
