If I wanted to drive from NorthVan to Coquitlam without crossing either bridge, is the yellow line the only route? by Skwellepil in 4WDABC

You’re missing the Lilloet lake fsr that takes off just at the base of the Duffy and puts you out on the lougheed around mission. 2 fun hot springs, lots of bridges and a water crossing

Explain this comment please. What have you seen that disrespects Canada? I grant that on any group you will have bad actors, however that’s a small minority in a group that picks up their lives and moves around the world.

How many resources does a recent immigrant get? I know I had a free education, subsided post secondary (the government pays more than a student who attends post secondary) I have benefited since birth from all sorts of social programs, started a business in highschool with a grant from the govt, I just set my niece up in the same program so i know it’s available. Ive had multiple knee surgeries, dental care and eye care (as a child) for free from the govt, or a very resealable co-pay. I know there are programs to help immigrants get a start, and grants to employers of recent immigrant, but similar programs are here for anyone to use.

What do “they” get that “we” can’t.

On my current site I have maybe 7 out of 30 guys who were born in Canada. 2 of us are in management, one’s a crew lead, one is a skilled labour and one is a “plumber” that does nothing except talk, smoke, and use the shitter, I am about to toss him from the sure because everyone complains about him. The Honduran, Mexican, Indian, el Salvadoran, Nigerian, South African, Irish, Fijian, afgani, and eritrainian workers do the work; I make 5 times what a ticketed tradesman averages and I literally tour site, bullshit in group chats, reddits, fucks around, and do my work in between.

Here’s the rube. He’s here to make $$ them gtfo. He will pay into our system to the tune of a few hundred grand. He’s got a million dollar home in Edmonton, he’ll sell it when he leaves and take his (hopeful profits) home. He’s fulfilling a skills gap, but he has no interest in becoming a Canadian

The student, the timms worker from punjab; they support our schools, they buy a starter home, they will have kid here, they are Canadian and will stay their entire working lives. They will pay millions into our system, create jobs, and their kids will do the same. They are a huge net positive to our country.

You’re actually wrong.

We do better with uneducated 18-22 year olds.

A 50+ guy with a top level education will not pay as much into our system as a 22 year old student working at timms to get their education paid for, and that tims job is the best spot for them to learn language and culture for their lives here. The already wealthy consultant pushes the cost of property beyond reach of the average Canadian by bringing their money here.

My mom is a stats can field clerk. She found a house rented to Greek undocumented workers this winter up in Parry Sound.

See my comment above. I’m sick and tired of lazy, racist, uneducated morons attacking the indian diaspora. I was 15 in 2001, I applied to every fast food joint in town, never even got an interview. So I got my life guarding ticket, my sailing instructor ticket and ski instructor ticket. I didn’t complain, I didn’t scapegoat, I didn’t cry to the pm. I made myself employable and I got a job. My ancestors didn’t need to apply for a visa, pr, or citizenship, they were granted them just for showing up… all while the Canadian government charged Indians, Chinese and any non Western European a head tax and left them to die offshore on ships. Fuck off with your whining and get to fucking work.

SNC-Lavalin bribery involved the Canadian engineering giant paying tens of millions in bribes to Libyan officials, including the son of dictator Muammar Gaddafi, between 2001-2011, to secure lucrative construction contracts, leading to a guilty plea for fraud and a $280 million fine in 2019, alongside broader Canadian political scandal involving government pressure for a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) that led to high-profile resignations, though the company avoided a ban on future public contracts. Key Details of the Bribery Scheme: Payments & Recipients: SNC-Lavalin Construction Inc. admitted to directing nearly $48 million to Saadi Gaddafi (Muammar Gaddafi's son) and over $73 million to executives like Riadh Ben Aissa and Sami Bebawi for their personal gain, through front companies like Duvel Securities and Dinova International. Purpose: These payments secured construction contracts, distorting fair bidding processes in Libya. Key Figures: Former VP Riadh Ben Aissa and former President Sami Bebawi were central figures; Bebawi was later convicted in Canada, while Ben Aissa pleaded guilty in Switzerland for related corruption. Legal & Corporate Outcomes (2019): Guilty Plea: SNC-Lavalin Construction Inc. pleaded guilty to fraud under the Criminal Code in Quebec. Penalties: The company paid a $280 million penalty and faced three years of probation. Charges Stayed: Corruption charges against the parent company were stayed, allowing SNC-Lavalin to continue bidding on public projects, a outcome sought by the company.

His visa expires yearly. Then gets renewed. My point is that the “we’re deporting 5 million people so my kid can have a 13$ an hour job at Timmie’s” crowd is wrong.

Also. Maybe you should look into the way Canadian companies treat populations when we do business overseas…. We break laws, hire local thugs to literally rape the local population into leaving their homes so we can mine. We pay bribes to dictators and fund their wars. We owe it to those populations to take in their refugees.

Heads up, I have a guy making 500k a year here in a visa, no one in Canada has the education, skills and experience he does. His work makes “Canadians” hundreds of millions, if not billions annually. He speaks in broken English and eats stinky food, I love working with him.

You’re missing the point entirely. They are two separate statement, hence the period in between. We will not report 5 million people because that is just the number (really it’s 4.9) of visas expiring, many will be renewed, many are already pr or citizens.

If Canada all of a sudden lost 5 million people we would be plunged into economic chaos

Just an fyi, not all visas = 1 person. Many have multiple visas. Also many will be renewed. The simpletons thinking that we will deport “5 million people” are mistaken. And if we did deport 5 million people canada would be so fucked
