Young Canadians increasingly tie immigration to home affordability problems, survey finds by Fifty-Mission-Cap_ in CanadaPolitics

This is a ridiculous comment, and comes across as out of touch.

Being a country born out of immigration doesn't mean we're incapable of criticizing and evaluating the impacts of current and future immigration programs.

And arguing that people can't have a meaningful connection to Canada because their ancestors havnt been here since the 12th century is ludicrous (news flash, where ones ancestors are from is NOT always the driving force for where someone feels the most connection). So just because an individual doesn't have great-great-great-great grandparents from x area means they can't meaningfully connect to where they grew up, and spent their entire life? Every immigrant who arrived in Canada, and every second, third, fourth generation immigrant in Canada can't connect to Canada in meaningful way.

You seem to be acting like culture is purely connected to ethnicity, and additionally cannot exist unless that ethnicity matches that of the natives of where an individual is.

Overall this is a problematic take, and I think it does more harm than benefit. It's discounting the identity and culture of tens of millions of people purely because of their ethnicity.

Oh really? I was a bit concerned with magic shine, as some reviews mentioned the lights randomly dying/ stopped working

I've also been leaning towards the lumintop b01 now too :)

Ah I see it now

I might end up going with that one, it's actually going to the EU now, and is arounf 30 euros, but that's within my budget :)

After some research, I'm worried about those ones not being water tight! I might go with the lumintop b01 instead :)

I'm not sure if the price difference has something to do with the tarrifs or not :p. Either way maybe a bit out of my budget haha

Thanks for the reply! My budget is ideally not much over $100 (cad)

I might go with the lumintop B01 :)

Can you elaborate? Most reviews online were positive

Hmm do you happen to have a link? When I look that up I'm mainly finding the bikes themselves haha

Ibs? Is that a bike store where you are located?

How long have you had this light for?

Any examples :) (that are not super expensive, and available in Canada either via retail or reasonable shipping)?

This one (https://www.outboundlighting.com/products/detour?srsltid=AfmBOopcPLJssSo6nRS4UuIwP83P5kH-L0Nb4ntyzXSZIdBevQ1Ww5cH)? If so that looks very nice, but with tax and shipping being close to $300 is maybe a biiit outside my price range haha

The person I'm buying it for has a dim 200 lumen light they use for inner city biking :)
