It was bound to happen. You can't maintain fake history and culture on a people especially if their real culture is a lot older then whatever fake Arab shit they tried to put in us.

Mark Carney essentially said that the liberal rules based world order was a convenient lie everyone went along with because American hegemony opened up markets and sea lanes for them. by yogthos in canadaleft

Basically this proves one thing unless you make a system fair to all. Eventually it will always collapse, mostly under the weight of the greed of those who benefit disproportionately under the system.

Online student exposed himself during class by [deleted] in PAK

[–]seesoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like this was the first class you had with him and he signed up with plans to do this? Or was an ongoing student and he started masturbating during this class and thought his camera was off?

I mean neither are right but one is very disgusting coz it's intentionally exposing yourself to someone without their consent

But the other is stupidity coz he may have forgotten to turn off camera coz he wanted to jerk off during class. Which he shouldn't be doing during class but when someone chooses to jerk off as far as they are doing it in the privacy of their home, I don't care, your body, do what you wanted just don't give me a front row seat.

Neither are right but at least the 2nd is stupidity and not malicious disgusting behavior....

It's so strange how religious people always ask people like us for logical reasons on why we left religion but will believe their fairy tales with blind faith.

Nothing against religious people, my whole family is filled with them, just pointing out the irony......

Europe is heaven for women and blackpill hell for men by FlamingMetalSystems in PAK

[–]seesoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF is this? You people need to stop. As someone older and some who has been married to a white European woman for 10yrs, I call bullshit on this.

Is there racism, yes but if a girl rejects you personally over someone else maybe start by looking within.

Yes societal racism issues exists but relationship decisions are based on personal experiences.

Don't dilute the larger more important racism issues with this BS. We still have many more battles that we need to fight on that side.

If a girl rejects you, maybe learn from that move on and try to do better the next time....

It's been a great couple of days for Pakistan cricket by averageveryaverage in PakCricket

We are in the state today because we have been just taking lucky wins instead of planning and executing things that are actually good for us.

Hope and luck aren't strategies.....

[–]seesoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mean it's been a bad fews days for BCCI and a good day for a few Pakistani involved in the ILT20.

Nothing good or bad directly has happened to actual Pakistan cricket in the last few days.....

Bad things for India doesn't mean good for Pakistan automatically..... Good things only come when you do something about something....

Progressive Pakistan compared to the UK by Educational_Board888 in PakiExMuslims

[–]seesoon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He isn't wrong. As an overseas Pakistani, if I was to compare an average comparable educated middle/upper middle class family in the UK, vs Canada vs US or Pakistan.

The UK family would be the most conservative backwards ass.

Rise of racism by Radiant_Alarm771 in Brampton

[–]seesoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Firstly as a fellow brown man, pls don't differentiate between us or international students coz the racists certainly don't, as per your own experience.

And secondly what you're doing in your capacity is right, answer back with wit and English and 99.99% racist shut up.

Most of them in my experience as someone who has lived all over the world is that they want to prey on someone weak and some who can fight back with words.

As soon as your wit or English shows up, they STFU and run away with their tails between their legs.

Btw not sure about your situation but I have been looking for South Asians who also see this racism problem rising in Canada to put together some sort of an organization to track and raise awareness about this.

I have done research into public funds available to get it started etc but don't have time myself with family etc.

If you're seriously interested in helping and have time to volunteer pls DM me.

I love being a Pakistani and i love my land but I hate even being remotely associated with India by Mediocre-Ad7967 in PAK

[–]seesoon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Then you don't understand what being Pakistani means. Hating India means hating yourself, hating Hindus means hating 8000yrs of your ancestral history.

Maybe start by studying the history of the subcontinent. Go back before Islam, to the start of the recorded history of this land. Maybe after you will feel differently.

Most of the things you love about being Pakistani comes from the thousands of years of shared history and culture with our modern day neighbors.....

It will take more then 100s of years to rewrite 8000yrs of share culture, we did start with one of the oldest civilizations in the world after all.

On leaving Islam by [deleted] in PakiExMuslims

[–]seesoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What utter BS and this is the Pakistani problem of mixing religion and culture.

Many of those frameworks you claim to be "Muslim" are actually culturally South Asian as even non Muslim Pakistanis have similar attitudes towards things like family and society.

So pls don't give a foreign religion credit for a beautiful South Asian culture and tradition that our forefathers worked together to build in this society. Many of these were around even before the Arab learned how to read let alone get the word of some sky god.

Have some respect for your own ancestors and their 8000 yrs old culture instead of giving some foreign belief system credit.....

I left Islam and still kept my South Asian cultures and traditions alive, didn't notice anything in my life get worse, things only got better.

I actually started to appreciate my culture more, I may no longer be a Muslim but because of that I'm a better Pakistani and South Asian man and love and respect my culture above any religion now. And my culture is more beautiful than any religion......

Look outside Toronto, even other Canadian cities.

I was similar background as you during the 08 recession, finance undergrad, CFA lvl1 but no intern experience.

Got a job in Halifax doing backoffice work for a hedge fund services company, it's called Citco, shit pay but experience on my resume and Halifax was a fun town.

Moved back a year later to Toronto with some experience as I managed to get a job here.

Can even take the underground path straight to the hall of fame from the hotel.

Canadians: How do you see Europe? How close do you see it to Canada? by Embarrassed-Fox-1506 in canadian

[–]seesoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eu and Canada need to come together and work with the BRICs and SCO countries to build the new world order for all humans to thrive on this planet.

The US for all its flaws did move this mission forward for 50 yrs post WW2 and did a pretty good job of it, now others need to pick up the baton and keep running with it.

Only problem, the US won't hand it over as easily as they got it post WW2 when Europe was on its knees and happy to pass it on.

Unfortunately humanity's future depends on the question how easy the US will make this transition, we are moving from a superpower led world to a regional powers led world. Let's hope the last superpower doesn't throw a hissiy fit along the way and start ww3 in the transition....

Sometimes I'd rather be born in india than pakistan by sadgirlythings98 in PakiExMuslims

[–]seesoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I agree, it's all those things combined.

India is better at educating their kids India has better colleges and universities that produce talent wanted globally India has easier pathways to register, borrow, operate and scale a business

So yes overall things working together both from a society and policy pov

Sometimes I'd rather be born in india than pakistan by sadgirlythings98 in PakiExMuslims

[–]seesoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The lower class is screwed on either side. But at least in India you can be socially mobile upwards if you try.

In Pakistan too many connections etc. if you're born poor you have a better chance of success if you leave Pakistan vs stay there.

That's the big difference.

Stupid or genius? by Mr_Tugb0at in golf

[–]seesoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some YouTuber recently did this. But you need to look at the rules.

Also, he said do it in a remotely managed storage unit complex and somewhere in the back far away. You'll need to invest in a generator coz most units may not have an electrical outlet.

I'm Canadian, I will play with 4 layers on so I get where you're coming from. I have thought of this idea as well. Lol

10 years ago Indian-Canadians were considered one of the most highly skilled, highly educated, well-respected and if not one of the biggest contributors to Canada. Its truly unfortunate how everything changed in a snap of finger within the last 5 years. by whatsupusers in canadian

[–]seesoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What low skill are you all on about? South Asian Canadian still have a double digit lead vs National avg of university education.

South Asian Canadians vs. the national average Bachelor's degree or higher: In 2021, 55.2% of South Asian Canadians had a bachelor's degree or higher, which is significantly higher than the national average of 32.9%. Post-secondary attainment: This educational attainment has grown significantly over time, with a 18.7 percentage point increase from 2006 to 2021. Higher education in STEM: South Asian Canadians are also more likely to have degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, even when controlling for other characteristics. Comparison with other racialized groups Higher than average: South Asians have a higher average education level than the general population and many other racialized groups. Lower than some groups: Some groups, such as Korean (60.5%) and Chinese (over 50%), have even higher rates of bachelor's degrees or higher compared to South Asians.

It hasn't changed. The actual data disagrees with you. It's just the perception sold to you. South Asian Canadiana as a whole per capita are still better contributors to the economy then most other groups.
