OMonster 15,025 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 With the exception of legitimate refugees, I see nothing wrong about this policy. Language is the absolute foundation of society, and why any country should be shamed for wanting to preserve that... I do not know. Why should anyone be able to live anywhere, without integration? And without a mutual understanding of language, there can be no true integration. And as for French values, this simply refers to Western norms - freedom, liberty, equality, justice. The very values that allow for open and safe immigration. To exploit that openness (in benefitting from a country where you cannot communicate) would be wrong. To protect the productivity, utility and prosperity of immigration would be right... which is exactly what this policy ensures. It keeps immigration beneficial to all. To the locals and to the immigrants. It creates cohesion, builds togetherness and leads to that thing we call society. It’s not a hateful policy. It’s a sensible one. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Brampton is slowly becoming one of Canada's relevant cities At the rate were growing (about 20,000 people a year) in about 10 years we will surpass Mississauga and become the second largest city in the Toronto area next to Toronto itself And we have celebrities we birthed including Russel Peters, Alesia Cara and the basketball player that I can't remember his name Still tho, the odds we were so close Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada is not as homogeneous as some people think. Some Provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan are WAY more conservative as well as Capitalist than for example British Columbia thats very left Alberta for example elected their Conservative Provincial Government for 40 years straight As for Quebec, in many many ways they stand out from the rest of Canada and have never quite matched the rest of the English culture and talk if seperation never fully went away They are kind of like Hong Kong in China. Part of the same Country but different culture and more autonomu to run their own affairs For example Quebec isnt even part of Canadas Government Pension System or our Unemployment EI benefits. They have their own seperate system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
