How many Canadians are decendents of refugees?

[mustardman]

There are refugees who present valid indentification credentials, apply, wait their 2 years or whatever, those are probably sustantially more vetted than the guys hopping the border at Emerson or the 'ones that swim across the Rio Grande. You see dear Mustard, no one has the right to force themselves on another country just because they want to live there.

Where did you come from?

[SASKFARMER3]

Yea we all came here for a better life, became part of canada adapted to the countries rules and learnt English or French or both! We paractised some traditions but didn't push them on others! We didn't change laws to be the same as the place we came from! We started with almost nothing and asked for nothing but a new place for our family to live!

So yes come but really it's canada and we have our own rules so adapt or go home!

Keep your problems from your old country their!

Where did you come from?

Our descendants came from La Prairie, near Montreal and had settled there in the late 1700's. Then 3 brothers came West to homestead.

The family emigrated from the German settlements of the Black Sea region and arrived in New York on the SS Aller October 31, 1886. Homestead entry 1889 north of present day Balgonie Sk. Husband(my great grandfather) killed in Regina in 1893 during the building of the courthouse. Family then basically "more or less" abandoned the first homestead and when the first son was old enough to take his own homestead they resettled where we are today in 1902.

I wouldn't go as far as to say refugees, but immigrants for sure. I don't think things had gone bad in the Black Sea region by the time they left but maybe saw trouble coming? Or just decided to take an opportunity in a new land because there was none there(?). Ship records/manifest show no other families of the same last name as ours.

Of course using your Loyalist analogy, muslims should be flocking to countries that share their culture and faith rather than trying to stay in places where that isn't the norm.
My ggggrandfather came north with an American musket ball in his leg to be with people who already shared his culture

A bit of apples and oranges this morning just to stir up the pot some more because apparently you do not have anything better to do ( like work),
Do you actually believe what is going on is the same as when our great great grandfathers came over to a British colony in full view of the crown or other people , or are you saying this is the same as when the migrant hunters came over the Bering land bridge. Very different times and places and situations. You better study how human migration over the years has actually worked world wide vs how the principles of immigration is supposed to work. If you want full on migration fine but be prepared to fight for what you have because that is what happens when migration occurs.
I am perfectly fine with immigration as those that immigrate do so showing that they understand and respect the rule of law and the need for a civil society to maintain an orderly process. Those that migrate not only jump the Que on those that wish to legally and respectfully seek entry to our society and economy but immediately show that they are willing to flout the laws and people of a country for their own benefit disregarding all others, that is the path that leads to conflict.

Now that said as a democratic country we have a elected govt and representatives to see the laws and processes of our country are followed and we must have faith in them to do so , should they fail in their duties we have the right and responsibility to hold them accountable through the democratic process.

My parents came to Canada. They had to out up a $100,000 bond with the government, prove their skills, buy land, and farm it with a business plan showing income in the first 3 years.


Then they got their $90,000 back (Canada used to have an immigration tax)


So I'm sorry but how is that in any way similar to my wife's friend's immigrant boyfriend who came here to study finance, had his student loans forgiven and now works 4 hours a day part time installing flooring... while his g/f works 18 hours a day at two full time jobs and still cooks and cleans...


The sad part is that a lot of these issues aren't even race based. Entitlement and greed is just as prevalent with local 20somethings.

Ask yourself this... if our millenia went to another country would they adapt to that country's way of life customs and culture? Probably not!


Millenialism Isn't just an N/a problem!

Very well put mcfarms....

BTW....Who the **** wouldn't want to come here?

My great grandfather died in a refugee camp in russia in 1915, the rest almost starved. Grandfather needed 1000 dollars cash to get in the country in 1939. No free ride here. People were deported back to europe who failed to pay back the 5 dollar a month relief in the 30s. They have it pretty good now.

1920-1939: The second wave of Ukrainians fled from Communism, civil war and Soviet occupation . Sorry this is wrong, we were fleeing the polish after the treaty of brest.

1970s: 7,000 Chilean and other Latin American refugees were allowed to stay in Canada after the violent overthrow of Salvador Allende’s government in 1973.


7000 "refugees" bulls hit. Salvador Allende was the idiot who started the wave of communism and terrorism in South America. His followers murdered, butchered, burnt and ****d anyone who didn't follow his ways. Those 7000 weren't refugees they were the instigators that had to flee when the public with the military's support rose up to crush these effing maniacs.
