Priceless: Realizing in a Tangible Way that Breaking the Law Makes You a Criminal.
...it is finally, at long last, possible for us to begin having an adult conversation about hypermigration. Economics and legality are distractions, chaff thrown up by one side or the other to keep attention away from the primal psychological forces that are actually at work: The territory of one people being given to others.1

The city in Ontario that I live closest to, started to see immigrants pour in once Trudeau decided this should happen. The city is blue collar. The city has a huge (recent) homeless and drug problem and crime has gone up and I don't feel safe anymore, downtown at night. New "chain" stores and restaurants serving ethnic foods started up, which is cool, but even the non-ethinic chains were employing people whose accents were so heavy, that when we had to wear masks, I hesitated even trying to go in and order a breakfast wrap. "Would you like gdeeel?" Ummm, excuse me? "You want gdeeel?" Uh....sorry? (worker gesture towards the panini maker) "Gdeeel?" Oh! Grill! Yes, please. So next time I go in, I know what gdeeel is. This is a country where no one is safe from Big Government policies because Canadians don't get to vote on much of anything. It's all very frustrating.
But Trudeau did announce, standing at the podium, stuttering and uh-ing and ah-ing all over the place with a big smile on his face and cute socks on his feet that, "Uh...Canadians recognize the uh...need for growth. Canadians are uh...a welcoming people. Canadians want diversity." which translates to: "The Globalists told me this is what I'm supposed to say and whether you like it or not, you little mindless peons will continue to watch hockey and smoke weed, drink Molson, listen to and watch CBC propaganda because you're all useless eaters."
I'm kind to these immigrants because they are people, but I can't communicate well with them. I was wheeling my cart at a second-hand store, my 18-month old grandson in the seat, past a tall, turbaned Indian looking security guard. I smiled, my grandson stared and stared and stared. He's not used to being around crowds of tall, dark-skinnned humans with big hats. He sees a lot of smiling, white people in camo and buffalo plaid where we live, 40 km north of the city. So in order to make sure the guard didn't take offense, I casually say, "You know how kids stare..." I knew by his blank face that he wasn't getting it.
I've never heard this guy talk.
There is no familiarity of that famous Canadian politeness and cheer.
Even needing guards in stores was unheard of until self-checkouts became a great place to steal stuff. And there are no real people checkouts. We shop, we wait, we "beep" our own stuff at the check out while a computer tells us what to do and if we don't do it, Or don't know how to do it, a real person has to come over, get her key out, open up a page, punch in some stuff, and by that time, I want to leave the store. But I can't. I still have to figure out how to pay and then put all my stuff into the bags I brought into the store because Trudeau decided that plastic shopping bags were emitting way too much carbon.
I'm old enough to remember "bag boys". Now you don't even get a cashier who will bag your stuff in a plastic bag with the store name on it.
Make Canada the 51st state, please!
Canada is a stinking mess.
Obama sent 5.2 million back home. Grab a calculator, that works out to 12,500 a week, every week, for 8 straight years. Trump’s first week 3,500 were arrested, assuming they were all sent home, he’ll need to step it up threefold and better to catch Obama’s record at this rate. That’s where the good news starts. Because CNN can now start a sister network CNNI - the immigration deportation 24-hour news network. Every deportee will be interviewed and their backstory of struggle, strife and loss detailed in teary-eyed docu-segments by grim-faced reporters. Big Pharma will jump at the chance to throw a billion at the new network and Marianne Williamson can launch her compassion-first campaign “Make American Ungreat in ’28” right on time.
