Saw the "Muslim diversity" in the title and thought Oh yeah, there'll be some good old-fashioned classic Canadian xenophobia!
I live in a major city and I tried to explain to my friends from other countries that if you drive an hour outside of any of these cities that you will see what Canada is actually like, small-minded, cruel, petty, racist, xenophobic, homophobic and generally mean. The kind of people who complain about small businesses going out of their towns while drinking the world's worst coffee at Tim Hortons next to the Walmart that they just bought everything from. That's not everyone out there, but I'd say at least a hardline 30% and another soft 30%.
The other 40% are what makes this country amazing and are who our grandparents fought and died for in world war II, but unfortunately they don't vote as much as the people who are motivated by petty cruelty.
The system works.
P.S. I'm sure Poilievre will be PM soon and will accomplish nothing he's been talking about while things get worse but these same people won't notice so long as he's cruel to the poor, drug addicts and the mentally ill or disabled.

Well, only a week later, Poilievre finally acknowledged that his old riding of Carleton exists DESPITE the fact that they were no longer relevant?!? Clearly his advisors explained that perhaps his new riding of Battle River-Crowfoot might not appreciate the fact that his old riding was completely ignored once they were no longer deemed useful to PP electorally, LOL?!? Even though they gave PP, his electoral stature to date for the last 20 years, obviously they no longer served a purpose anymore, so there's zero point in acknowledging them or anything whatsoever in terms of his time there, as it's only a reminder now of his total failures. Still, PP must have been told that letting his old constituents know that they don't have any value whatsoever, once they've proven that they can't further his career and therefore should be ignored obviously, is the worst message possible to his new constituence that he is trying to parachute into LOL! Which is that the Battle River-Crowfoot electorate concern's obviously don't mean anything whatsoever, unless it's in the service of the conservative leadership for PP?!?! DUH!!
Clearly acknowledging 20 years of PP not serving Carleton, as he climbs the leadership ladder sends an unfortunate message to his new riding, about how much they actually matter. Much better to ignore the facts & move towards using the people in Alberta now and their riding, so that he can climb over them and get to a place where he can ensure that he is able to reward the donors that actually paid for him to get where he is before the people of Battle River-Crowfoot figure out that they don't actually matter!!
The system works.

The Canadian government just threw $35 billion to build (plus $5 billion original purchase) the contentious Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) project, resulting in a ten-fold increase in risky tanker transits through our biggest port and third-largest city (Tourism generated $22.1 billion in revenue, 12.4% higher than 2022. Tourism contributed $9.7 billion (3.1%) to the provincial gross domestic product (GDP), 9.6% higher than 2022. A tanker spill would destroy that instantly and likely for a generation). Even if this project is ever sold, taxpayers will likely be out $18 billion in unrecovered capital. Did the rest of the Martin get any love from the oil patch for this generous gift, or did extremist elements (and mainstream politicians) in Alberta find indulgent ways to deride central Canada even more?
Additional cost that are unpredictable for a relatively short distance from Alberta through BC, can you imagine the cost across all of Canada to the East coast?
Maki pointed out that some of the factors that contributed to the project’s staggering cost increases, from roughly $5 billion in 2013 to more than $34 billion today, were beyond the company’s control, including COVID-19 and a three-month shutdown caused by unprecedented flooding in 2021 in B.C., which added around $9 billion in costs.
