Steve S and thus Canadian press report is ( as always ) only discussing economics , inflation , housing etc.
No where does this article discuss or show photos and videos of the Camp of the Saints , mass migrant invasion from the 1.5 billion Indian continent .
There are accurate video reports about Indian Shudras taking over Ontario Canada beaches and just pooping in the beach !
This along with Pakistani and yes Indian Muslims massacring German and other Europeans , Brits and Christmas Markets - those are the things make Canadians , Europeans , ha white Americans shut the mass 3rd world migration doors .
The small amount of boxing in that video isn't impressive. Ramsey Dewey has a video about why Karate guys always get wrecked by boxers, and under boxing rules, with boxing gear, the black belt would be at even more of a disadvantage against someone with boxing experience (which I don't know if Trudeau had).
As for the results for Canadians I often think of HL Mencken- democracy is the theory the people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard
Ha- no, obviously. Funny thing is, in that clip Hearns is keeping his hands down like Trudeau was. I admit, every time I see an amateur fight I am re-surprised by how much better the pros are.
I had never seen the Trudeau fight but I was expecting more than just a regular charity boxing match. Trudeau claimed to have trained as a boxer for ten plus years. That could mean a variety of things, but it would be expected that such a person would handily defeat a karate black belt in a boxing match.
Debanking, defaming, and using his Ottawa thug policemen to literally run over with horses the Trucker Protesters (note: most were not truckers, but eh truckers led the way) who were opposed to the COVID lockdowns should have been the end of Castro Jr. That alone should have been end of that Communist monster with a pretty boy face -- he should the world he was nothing more than a commie thug dictator, just like his (real) daddy.
It's taken 3 more years since to get his commie ass out, but good on the Canadians for finally doing it. Let this left-wing tyrant be thrown out, tried, and jailed for his crimes.
The two theories are that Justin Trudeau's biological father is either:
1. Like his name says, Pierre Trudeau, one of the most formidable politicians of the second half of the 20th Century, or:
2. Fidel Castro, an even more legendary national leader, an icon of machismo, the man whom LBJ assumed on 11/22/1963 had had JFK murdered as vengeance for the Kennedy brothers sending the CIA to murder him but failing him.
Proponents of Theory #2 assume that Justin Trudeau being the son of Fidel would prove that Justin is a wimp.
But to me, Justin seems like a talented politician. If he's finally headed for defeat after nearly a decade in office, that may say more about the failures of the policies he pursued, such as mass immigration, than about his own inherent shortcomings of nature or nurture.
You say without any pictures to back that up. The young Justin looks exactly like the young Fidel did in the same age, and nothing like Pierre Trudeau.
I grew up looking at PET every day in the news and in every school building and government office. Every time Junior turns around or smiles, I see PET. The high cheekbones and sallowing flesh are dead giveaways. You're just after a sensational story. Suggest a quick peep at National Enquirer in line at the supermarket—that way, you'll only embarrass yourself to a few ladies in curlers...
"You're just after a sensational story." LOL Am I a journalist now? What a ridiculous comment. Aww, poor boy so angry because you can't refute the obvious truth in the pictures, with even face-recognition software noting that Justin Trudeau has more than 90% similarity to Fidel Castro who his mother visited, while Pierre gets a very low number. Try to have a real argument next time instead of insulting bitching, little leftist. "Bicker" is a suiting name for you.
Why would Trudeau having two brothers disprove the contention that his mother was a "whore"? Even if they both look like him that would merely indicate that she might have been careful about who impregnated her (or which impregnations she allowed to result in births) while saying nothing about her variety of sexual partners.
Indeed he looks exactly like Fidel Castro who his parents worshipped and visited. But some people, especially the old cowards, are scared because the media call the obvious a "conspiracy theory," so you are not allowed to believe your own eyes. As I wrote here in another post:
His mother Margaret was a groupie who traveled with Rolling Stones and lamented that "I should have fucked them all." When her age started to get noticeable she married the TWENTY-NINE year older Pierre Trudeau, a socialist politician. They were both fans of the mass murderer Fidel Castro, who killed a larger percentage of Cuba's population than Stalin slaughtered in Russia, and who instituted the rule before the takeover that every party boss should commit murder so they couldn't leave.
After the son Justin was born there's a picture of them visiting Cuba again, greeted by Castro, and Margaret let him hold the baby.
As the boy grew up it was clear that he looked like a young Fidel Castro, and he looked nothing like Pierre Trudeau. The nose, the eyes, the mouth - he even adopted the same mustache as Fidel had in the same age. Face-recognition software show a very high match between Justin's and Fidel's faces, and a very low match with Pierre. Now of course leftists claim that Margaret didn't meed the beloved murderer before her son was born, that only Pierre Trudeau did, which is their "proof" to counter the obvious:
"Dropping the annual goal from 500,000 to 365,000 by 2027." As a response to the public's anger about mass immigration, that doesn't sound very impressive.
Also, if the best evidence Chalamet can offer for his masculinity is that he's a football fan, that's not very impressive either. I expected you to say he was a collegiate fencer or something along those lines. Trudeau's performance in the charity bout is the only thing he's ever done that impressed me.
In interviews, both Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen have said that Trump's reaction to being shot was the moment that persuaded them to publicly support him. Men admire physical courage.
What difference will it make? Your so-called conservative party is even mushier than our so-called conservative party, your Senate is an awful institution, the money just gets spent by Ontario and Quebec, Vancouver is owned by the Chinese.
Our old fossils in our rotten Senate are pulling a bunch of rotten crap too.
Speaking of dysfunctional democracies, Germany's government has collapsed since everybody has to pretend the AfD does not exist. Romania's Supreme Court literally canceled the country's election when the voting didn't go how the government wanted it.
I'm just astounded. I bet the Russians and Chinese are kind of astounded too. It's like watching some old Keystone Kops comedy, with everyone running around bumping into each other and shooting each other in the feet.
Why have an immigration “goal” at all? Are too many people speaking English and French?
Does Canada think they are helping the third world by skimming those who can afford the costs of international migration or overseas education and luring them to Canadian residency?
The point is only - it's too expensive. New jobs go to the immigrants and the immigrant support system (schools, shelter, social workers etc). All of this produces tons of federal spending but significantly lower tax revenue. It's a common experience - most migrants from sh*thole countries (as the president-elect has been saying) produce a negative expenditure/revenue balance over their life cycle. As the Dutch have also found. But hey, maybe the people importing them want them for something else - like the recent Amsterdam pogroms.
Exactly, it doesn't get better by the H-1B advocates talking about "it helps America win!" It's just the economic argument repackaged.
And they don't explain how it's "winning" when American IT engineers go unemployed because cheaper Indians are brought in. It's not about "winning" but about holding down wages. Research shows that IT engineer salaries would otherwise be 5.1% higher:
Trump's advisor in AI policy is the Indian Sriram Krishnan, formerly a partner at the venture capitalist firm Andreessen Horowitz, who wants to lift the annual cap on H-1B visas.
The Indian Vivek Ramaswamy also supports the visas, slamming Americans as lazy in a lengthy post. He says that bringing in more Indian IT techs would change the American culture for the better. Except we've already seen that it makes U.S. IT engineers lose their jobs, which would turn people away from the field. But maybe he doesn't mean "American culture" should be replaced, but the American people.
Elon Musk started banning, demonetizing and removing checkmarks from Ramaswamy's critics on Twitter, while proudly holding up his status as an immigrant.
"Google, Amazon and Microsoft all rely on a funnel of such workers; Meta is classified as “H-1B dependent” over its unusually high foreign visa workforce. And as layoffs hit Silicon Valley last year, the tech industry ramped up applications to bring in even more foreign personnel."
"The Department of Justice investigated Meta, for example, and found that the company created an entirely separate job programme to comply with the rules. Positions the firm sought to fill with H-1B holders were effectively disguised from the public — advertised in print media and applicants could only respond through physical mail-in forms — despite other routine jobs posted by the company accessible electronically. The government found that Meta discriminated against American workers, refusing to recruit, consider, or hire qualified Americans for more than 2,600 jobs. The Department of Justice, however, ended the issue with a slap on the wrist penalty of $14.25 million, or a mere 0.016% of company revenue."
"Meanwhile, economists from the University of Michigan and the University of California, San Diego found that tech worker wages would have been as much as 5.1% higher in the absence of H-1B visa workers in the same field."
"In 2016, Disney and Southern California Edison were caught forcing laid-off American workers to train their H-1B foreign replacements. Similar stories have been reported around the country, especially in California, where such in-shoring dynamics are common."
I think they might talk about the assassination attempt on Trump as an excuse for supporting him, which they probably already did. If people criticize that it sounds like they support the assassination attempt.
This experiment keeps getting run, with the same results: wages stagnate, housing and education get more expensive, countries get more crowded and dirty, the economic gains are captured at the top.
What's the theory behind immigrants making housing more expensive? Immigrants increase the demand for housing, but they also increase housing supply, so why should we expect them to make the price higher?
And would this argument not also apply to the children of citizens?
If the underlying motivation is white nationalism, you can just be a white nationalist. You're not even commenting under your real name.
Price is elastic to demand and more immigrants equals more demand for lots of things, including housing away from concentrations of Global South immigrants. Housing is actually a positional good. If you jack up the supply to the extent that anybody can afford to live there, then anybody will live there, and the safe, sane people which convinced your wife to choose that location will move away. Lather rinse repeat.
And yes, I prefer to live around other Aglo-Americans.
Anyway, how about we ramp up the non-white immigration into, say, Hungary and you can let us know how things work out.
"but they also increase housing supply" - in what meaningful sense? Immigrants don't come and build houses themselves. Houses have to be built, and the experience of Western countries shows that this generally does not keep pace with the number coming in.
Also the average "refugee" in Western Europe costs about 200,000 euro more in a lifetime than the value their work creates. That's just the direct cost of things given to them for free, not the cost of violence, vandalism, the cost of schools becoming cesspools while the teachers look the other way. The cost that comes with a massive increase of people who think using drugs is okay. The cost of bringing in people who vote for the communist parties and keep those alive when they would have disappeared without immigrant votes.
"What's the theory behind immigrants making housing more expensive? Immigrants increase the demand for housing, but they also increase housing supply, so why should we expect them to make the price higher?"
What about the fact that even Britain's Labour government now says there isn't space in housing for immigrants? Because those who do the research has warned the government for years about the increased lack of housing?
Do you seriously think the slow increase in the country's population is an explosion in housing demand like mass immigration is? A country's population being massively increased in two decades so that 20%, 30% or more are immigrants wouldn't put more pressure on housing? Wouldn't increase rent for people? Funny then that that's exactly what has happened all over the West.
Britain is notoriously NIMBY and the Labour Party does not want to change that.
Ontario's population grew by 25% between 2001 and 2021. For comparison, America's population grew by 35% between 1950 and 1970, fueled mostly by native fertility rather than immigration.
When i look at the statement both materials and labor didn’t even add up to half the cost of my house. Land, taxes, commissions, and other items made up a majority of the expense. And I don’t even live in an area where land is especially expensive.
Housing is expensive because of items beyond the actual cost of building. If those items remain untouched, importing a few cheap day laborers won’t make a difference. In fact they may make it actively worse (to the extent that pricing poor people out is the express purpose of those items that increase cost). For instance, my town charges $50,000 to hook up to the local utilities specifically to keep cheap housing from being built.
In addition, the existing housing stock is diluted on a per capita basis as population increases.
Obviously the flood of immigration by various Western government is a disaster, but to some extent it can be checked by a resurgence in the country's underlying identity. Here in the States, although there are a variety of regional cultures there is still an over culture that is "American" that most of the public participates in and it seems to me a large percentage of immigrants actively adopt.
I will admit I am largely ignorant on this matter, but it seem to me that Canada does not have the same strong national sense of self that the US does and that whatever does exist is being washed away by the flood of immigration this century. It might be the most identity-less Western nation and the nation most likely to have its historic characteristics erased.
My impression after a month or so spent in Canada on business is that rather than having its own identity, the Anglophone majority in Canada defines its identity as being like the US, only more progressive. For example, Canadians take great pride in their government-run healthcare system. If we go Woke, they'll go Woker. If we open our borders, they'll open theirs wider. (This may be changing, as is happening in the US.) French Canadians have an identity defined largely by their resentment of the English ones, by whom they feel patronized..
I have to disagree. We are watering down our identity and history and culture. In just 60 years we have gone from 93% to 60% and as those numbers have diminished the divisions have grown. Immigrants who aren’t European don’t see themselves in our founders and they and their descendants will have no issue voting to change the constitution. Our elections are now razor thin but before long we will be outnumbered and the country will never be the same. Harris was a barely concealed communist, the daughter of legal immigrants. Mayorkas who had no problem at all opening the border was the son of legal immigrants. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, refugee and daughter of legal immigrants. Anyone really think they revere the country as it is historically? There are exceptions of course but the education system indoctrination has contributed to a perfect storm that will probably hit in a couple generations. Trump will not be able to stop it, perhaps he can slow it a bit.
"underlying identity." Ah yes, the mainstream-right "magic soil" claim again, that Blacks, Arabs, Pakis and Jews change to become American or European by living in our nations. Meanwhile back in reality they overwhelmingly vote for the anti-White Left, where Whites are only allowed as members if they suck up to the non-White members.
My advice to white nationalists is to mass-migrate to Boise, Idaho, or someplace like that. Be the uninvited, politically destabilizing migrants you want to see deported in the world.
Hanania still has a great deal of rehabilitation and atonement ahead of him to ameliorate the heinous sins of his past. Shivving "noticers" is simply another of his stations of the cross.
As someone who lives in Canada, the immigrant thing is about more than housing prices. The unspoken thing in all these articles is that it's not about immigrants as a whole, it's about Indians. Indians driving ebikes on sidewalks, Indians filming white women at beaches, Indians overrunning our busses and trains. Without exaggeration, roughly 95% of our chain food service workers are Indian. There was a burger place near me that used to be staffed by Phillipinos. They eventually hired an Indian, the Indian began hiring only other Indians, and within six months the restaurant is 100% staffed by Indians. Predictably the service has gone to shit. Whereas the Phillipinos were neutral at worst, the Indians are actively rude and unclean. Indian men openly hate and resent white men and lust after white women and white female children. In my city, Indian gangs have begun extorting money from families, scamming elderly people, and doing daytime driveby shootings in the downtown core. And the body odor thing isn't a myth. You can tell if an Indian has ridden the elevator before you because the elevator will still stink like unwashed clothes and body odor.
One of the jobs of the government is to maintain the peace between citizens. The Canadian government has failed at that. Liberal white women, the type of ultra progressive women who work in HR at Lululemon, speak openly in public about how much they dislike Indians. If an Indian sits next to someone on a train, that person will often stand up and move to another seat.
Today Canada is the most racist it's been in a hundred years. Trudeau has damaged Canadians' perceptions of immigrants for a generation.
Justin Trudeau is Fidel Castro's son, so this is not odd. His mother Margaret was a groupie who traveled with Rolling Stones and lamented that "I should have fucked them all." When her age started to get noticeable she married the TWENTY-NINE year older Pierre Trudeau, a socialist politician. They were both fans of the mass murderer Fidel Castro, who killed a larger percentage of Cuba's population than Stalin slaughtered in Russia, and who instituted the rule before the takeover that every party boss should commit murder so they couldn't leave.

Face-recognition software show a very high match between Justin's and Fidel's faces, and a very low match with Pierre. Now of course leftists claim that Margaret didn't meed the beloved murderer before her son was born, that only Pierre Trudeau did, which is their "proof" to counter the obvious:

Calling him “Justin Castreau” isn’t calling h him a wimp. It’s calling him a communist, and more importantly, calling his mother a whore
There’s no evidence his mother was a whore. I remind you he has two brothers. Where did they come from?
I didn’t say she was a whore
Why would Trudeau having two brothers disprove the contention that his mother was a "whore"?

Funny then that that's exactly what has happened all over the West.
Britain is notoriously NIMBY and the Labour Party does not want to change that.
Ontario's population grew by 25% between 2001 and 2021. For comparison, America's population grew by 35% between 1950 and 1970, fueled mostly by native fertility rather than immigration.
If you’ve ever built a house you know that labor is a very small part of the total expense.
The materials necessary (lumber, concrete, trucks, gas, etc) are themselves products of someone else's labor. Immigrants provide more of that.
No, you don’t seem to understand.
When i look at the statement both materials and labor didn’t even add up to half the cost of my house. Land, taxes, commissions, and other items made up a majority of the expense. And I don’t even live in an area where land is especially expensive.
Housing is expensive because of items beyond the actual cost of building. If those items remain untouched, importing a few cheap day laborers won’t make a difference. In fact they may make it actively worse (to the extent that pricing poor people out is the express purpose of those items that increase cost). For instance, my town charges $50,000 to hook up to the local utilities specifically to keep cheap housing from being built.
In addition, the existing housing stock is diluted on a per capita basis as population increases.
The West is committing suicide while we watch.
Obviously the flood of immigration by various Western government is a disaster, but to some extent it can be checked by a resurgence in the country's underlying identity. Here in the States, although there are a variety of regional cultures there is still an over culture that is "American" that most of the public participates in and it seems to me a large percentage of immigrants actively adopt.
I will admit I am largely ignorant on this matter, but it seem to me that Canada does not have the same strong national sense of self that the US does and that whatever does exist is being washed away by the flood of immigration this century. It might be the most identity-less Western nation and the nation most likely to have its historic characteristics erased.
My impression after a month or so spent in Canada on business is that rather than having its own identity, the Anglophone majority in Canada defines its identity as being like the US, only more progressive. For example, Canadians take great pride in their government-run healthcare system. If we go Woke, they'll go Woker. If we open our borders, they'll open theirs wider. (This may be changing, as is happening in the US.) French Canadians have an identity defined largely by their resentment of the English ones, by whom they feel patronized..
The Quebecois should have been told your Empire left you and you can go home with it or join the British Empire.
I have to disagree. We are watering down our identity and history and culture. In just 60 years we have gone from 93% to 60% and as those numbers have diminished the divisions have grown. Immigrants who aren’t European don’t see themselves in our founders and they and their descendants will have no issue voting to change the constitution. Our elections are now razor thin but before long we will be outnumbered and the country will never be the same. Harris was a barely concealed communist, the daughter of legal immigrants. Mayorkas who had no problem at all opening the border was the son of legal immigrants. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, refugee and daughter of legal immigrants. Anyone really think they revere the country as it is historically? There are exceptions of course but the education system indoctrination has contributed to a perfect storm that will probably hit in a couple generations. Trump will not be able to stop it, perhaps he can slow it a bit.
"underlying identity." Ah yes, the mainstream-right "magic soil" claim again, that Blacks, Arabs, Pakis and Jews change to become American or European by living in our nations. Meanwhile back in reality they overwhelmingly vote for the anti-White Left, where Whites are only allowed as members if they suck up to the non-White members.
My advice to white nationalists is to mass-migrate to Boise, Idaho, or someplace like that. Be the uninvited, politically destabilizing migrants you want to see deported in the world.
I keep saying that there is something off with Richard Hanania and this latest issue is another point in my favor. Physiognomy is a thing!
For those who want to follow along, and if you are a masochist, he is RichardHanania on Twitter
Hanania still has a great deal of rehabilitation and atonement ahead of him to ameliorate the heinous sins of his past. Shivving "noticers" is simply another of his stations of the cross.
As someone who lives in Canada, the immigrant thing is about more than housing prices. The unspoken thing in all these articles is that it's not about immigrants as a whole, it's about Indians. Indians driving ebikes on sidewalks, Indians filming white women at beaches, Indians overrunning our busses and trains. Without exaggeration, roughly 95% of our chain food service workers are Indian. There was a burger place near me that used to be staffed by Phillipinos. They eventually hired an Indian, the Indian began hiring only other Indians, and within six months the restaurant is 100% staffed by Indians. Predictably the service has gone to shit. Whereas the Phillipinos were neutral at worst, the Indians are actively rude and unclean. Indian men openly hate and resent white men and lust after white women and white female children. In my city, Indian gangs have begun extorting money from families, scamming elderly people, and doing daytime driveby shootings in the downtown core. And the body odor thing isn't a myth. You can tell if an Indian has ridden the elevator before you because the elevator will still stink like unwashed clothes and body odor.
One of the jobs of the government is to maintain the peace between citizens. The Canadian government has failed at that. Liberal white women, the type of ultra progressive women who work in HR at Lululemon, speak openly in public about how much they dislike Indians. If an Indian sits next to someone on a train, that person will often stand up and move to another seat.
Today Canada is the most racist it's been in a hundred years. Trudeau has damaged Canadians' perceptions of immigrants for a generation.
Justin Trudeau is Fidel Castro's son, so this is not odd. His mother Margaret was a groupie who traveled with Rolling Stones and lamented that "I should have fucked them all." When her age started to get noticeable she married the TWENTY-NINE year older Pierre Trudeau, a socialist politician. They were both fans of the mass murderer Fidel Castro, who killed a larger percentage of Cuba's population than Stalin slaughtered in Russia, and who instituted the rule before the takeover that every party boss should commit murder so they couldn't leave.
After the son Justin was born there's a picture of them visiting Cuba again, greeted by Castro, and Margaret let him hold the baby.

As the boy grew up it was clear that he looked like a young Fidel Castro, and he looked nothing like Pierre Trudeau. The nose, the eyes, the mouth - he even adopted the same mustache as Fidel had in the same age. Face-recognition software show a very high match between Justin's and Fidel's faces, and a very low match with Pierre. Now of course leftists claim that Margaret didn't meed the beloved murderer before her son was born, that only Pierre Trudeau did, which is their "proof" to counter the obvious:
