thank you for participating in the housing market as we need that.

I was wondering if you are as passionate about supporting America outside of America as you are about supporting it inside America. considering that USA is 5% of the population of the world.




:oops:

Sounds like Love, LOL


HAHA! no I am a polite Canadian and I am sure he is married and I am not fond of Liberals lol. he seems so adamant to protect people living in the USA on fine points even if they are potential terrorists, that I wonder if he has any concept of USA involvement in the rest of the world? if he thinks that potential terrorists on American soil should have a list of rights, how does he feel about Americans on foreign soil, particularly military? most people can't answer this question sadly. because they base their viewpoints on propaganda and hearsay. only about 3% of Americans have ever been outside the USA. and their cognitive and confirmation biases are based on their limited experiences...

Funny thing is, all Canadians I spoke to have agreed that Canada would be nothing like it is today without the aggressive but calculated immigration policies, specially during the past 1990-2000 decade. Comparable in aggressiveness maybe only with the influx of immigrants to the US at the beginning of the 1900's.

As opposed to the US immigration during the same past decade, Canada has targeted on relatevely young, better (higher) educated wave of immigrants whose immediate contribution to the economy was nothing to be neglected, provided quite a boost. I remember seeing Toronto growing, changing, developing during that time from one week to another (that's how often I was traveling there).

Sadly though, they were probably mostly Liberals, ultimately destined to ruin the country, from what I hear now :lol:



Toronto certainly is a city of immigrants. I quite like going to different streets a few blocks apart and feeling like I am in different parts of the world. The problem was that the most recent Liberal government lowered the bar so much that immigrants had to be swiftly deported and others just killed themselves off in gang wars and cost taxpayers a great deal in additional policing. I think the NDP party was behind a lot of the activism, but the Liberal party supported it, that hurt our country. Our most extreme NDP activist is now living in France with his gay lover because he became so extreme that Canada wouldn't have him anymore.

Throw in societies "noise" or distortion if you may, you kind of have the whole thing in a nutshell

Dunno if he is or not, but I don't mind calling a bluff when I see one. Sort of like "elected in pure communist fashion"


HAHAHA ok I have my biases too based on Canadian experience of pathetic wannabe governments. you have to admit it makes a person nervous when the masses are hailing their new hero leader in the media in the midst of the "greatest crisis" since the historical great depression and he is relatively a newcomer. particularly when he has some "extreme" views compared to the average American. but what made me really nervous was the policies written on the government website when he was first in office. I suppose Americans are used to your media. when the Canadians try that BS, they get laughed off the ballot.

actually I think he's referring to the tendency of people who base their concepts on theory rather than experience and facts, who argue about arguing. <---that's it right there. lol. regardless I am enjoying the commentary.

Liberal immigration policy brings in outside immigrants that will vote in their favour. they also try to get votes from violent criminals and anywhere else they can (at least in Canada). the outcome of these policies in Canada tripled organized crime and Toronto the good became Toronto the gang war turf. real estate became the new marijuana plantations. I swiftly cancelled all my plans to become an international DJ and started hanging out with military instead.

also under the Liberals we lost our democracy. we didn't recognize it right away the way you Americans are vigilant about. when I wrote my MP I received a condescending photocopied reeducation letter in the mail. when I wrote the newspaper I received a threatening phone call and notified the police. those were my first clues at that time.

Canadians voted in a Conservative minority government who have been picking up the huge mess particularly in the area of crime and public safety. recently the minority parties tried to take over the government in a non-elected way and there was a public outcry which they completely ignored. the Queen sent her representative to shut down our government for weeks. I can not support anyone but Conservative in Canada as they are the ONLY ones who consider the interests of our country and are even sane.

sadly all the Liberals I spoke to personally (a lot) were far less educated than those in the videos. most had been told to vote for Obama and other than that were oblivious. they had been recruited. regardless. I have my theories that Obama won the election mainly due to recruiting uneducated (in a political sense) former non-voters. youth and black population. they have the right to vote. next he may be going for future immigrants. if you love your country, this should bother you. http://ow.ly/cAyb

on another note... I love following John McCain on twitter.. he is a true American hero.. check some of his latest comments which reflect outcomes of liberal economic policy.

Admin claims 150,000 jobs "Saved or Created"-what about the 1.6 million American jobs lost & unemployment topping 9.4% since the "Stimulus"?

Unemployment rate: pre-Stimulus 8.1% or 12.5 million Americans/post-Stimulus 9.4% or 14.5 million Americans - jobs "saved or created"???
