A good week

Accepting Immigrants and refugees is widely accepted by mainstream politics in Canada. Harper's Conservatives had a quota for 250,000 immigrants per year I believe maybe more.

The Refugee issue is linked to war, famine and Trumps threat to deport millions of undocumented. Many of the refugees will not be allowed to stay in Canada because they don't fit the definition.

Immigration is a way to grow the economy in countries with declining birth rates and aging populations. Bringing in skilled immigrants and less skilled ones is good for businesses that are struggling to fill positions.

No, ChuckChuck, what is unsettling is that CNN is at war with the president of the US and you and the other alt-left types are on the wrong side. You're on the side of the media, not the country. CNN and the other media outlets have never and will never accept Trump as president. You and your type are dumb enough to believe them and the race dividing crap they spew every day. It's far easier to sit back and claim to be victimized by every-****ing-thing you don't have a hope of changing than to get off your ass and fix the things in your life that you can change. Heaven forbid you take some responsibility for the past decisions you've made in your life.

Not sure what planet you two are on grassy and chuck chuck but there are very very few hard core Trump supporters on here if any .
Go spout your Trump bashing somewhere else .
We have just as many issues here with our PM as they have with Trump if not more here shortly as JT policies are going to bankrupt the average Taxpayer

The shit storm just keeps piling up in front of Trump. He seems oblivious or is unable to stop crapping on just about everything. The Russian connection will be his biggest obstacle. By the time Trump steps down, is impeached or loses the next election he will have set back the Republicans and Conservative politics by several decades.

What is unsettling is the number of Americans and some Canadians who still think he is doing a good job! The problem is bigger than Trump in that millions of Americans voted for him in the first place.

There are numerous apologists on this site who just can't bring themselves to say anything negative about Trump. Perhaps behind the facade they are quietly critical.

This has been the most interesting if not frightening period in US politics. Trump makes George Bush and even Ronald Reagan look good in relative terms.

What can the block head do to top the last few months?

Partisan politics aside the problem is individuals running for office because they are rich and powerful or cool (trump, Hillary, Trudeau) not because they are genuinely interested in serving the interests of their country. It's a sad state politics is in right now. I blame the media but mostly voters and the political establishment. The right wing in Canada rejected oleary and I applaud them for that.

I thought it was 25,000.

I have no problem with immigration as long as their demands don't go against our 'core values'. I also believe that Canada needs to be careful what they freely hand out to them as per this article:

We need to look at the bigger question of why we have refuges from the mid east. Why are we supporting the US wars for Oil? Why did the US plan to attack 7 countries in 5 years as former US general Wesley Clark explains in this video.

General Clark is correct all but Iran has been attacked by the US. Canada needs to get out of NATO and denounce the US war machine and the US wars for OIL

You are exactly correct I/F
That is the underlying issue that never gets pointed out

Bottom line is we have a problem with leaders in north America . Trump and Justin are a symptom of a disease within political parties who brought forward these two donkeys and the people who voted for them.

I don't know how we turn it around
