Here we go again. Those Syrians worked out real fucking well last time. Let’s do more of this.
Where’s my batch of Ukrainian women ?!!!!
They're here, they just usually blend in as WASP-y blonde sorority types. But once they open their mouths you know.

Don't worry Hondaracer is going to open up his basement suites to 4 or 5 of these Gazans right? riiight?

My dad’s company (large corpo American) hired 2 Ukrainian refugees recently, met them both at a house party, kind, hard working people.

I’d rather not have people who adamantly oppose my way of life living with me though. I’m kinda confused.. now we’re housing and cutting visas for the enemies of our AlLiES?

In b4 next Boston bombing?

My job interviewed a number of new Ukrainians that just landed a week before. They do seem like they are good hard working people. Wanting to come here and start a life by getting a job and working like most new Canadians should. It seems like a large group of other new Canadians want to get free money from our government and want an easy life which is not ok in my books.

I have nothing against the Palestine people but I find it scary that there could be a good chance they are coming here to force their beliefs on us and have other ulterior motives which I so hope isn't the case.

It’s not only that, none of them WANT to be here. But it’s better than 20 members of your family being crushed by rubble.

Hey, it’s what Canada wanted. (The rubble I mean)

Which I don't understand, you come to a country that you don't want to be in? If that's the case you should stay home and fight but sadly they ran away with their tail between their legs. They should be happy they have a chance to live and not worry about getting bombed and dying.

This is a stupid argument - if my asshole neighbour sets my house on fire and I have no choice but to go to Motel 6, I'll probably be thankful the first 2 nights. But after that I think I have a right to complain about the pubic hair underneath my pillow that smells like cigarettes.

These people literally had their lives bombed and you blame them for running away to wherever they could at the moment. Smh.

Iran’s president, foreign minister and others found dead at helicopter crash site


Iran's president dead, along with their foreign minister who was imminently going to replace him

No word on how it crashed, but it's 30 year old helicopter which was guaranteed to be severely badly maintained

The Bell 212 is a really robust and reliable aircraft with massive availability of parts due to its widespread use (I've flown one, and the B412). They were flying in strong winds, heavy rain, and low visibility mist/fog in mountainous terrain. This was a Kobe Bryant scenario: poor pilot decision making.

Bitch please. My employee from India just paid 24k for his next semester at VIU. He works his ass off and is one of the best employees we have ever had. I don't see many people from India without jobs. most are working more than one.

As for the beliefs of people from Palestine. Hard right Muslims and cons share the same beliefs. All these trad wife losers want a women that's a SHAM, dresses modestly, and is a virgin before marriage. Lines right up with what hard right Muslims believe.

Boiler Room set from Palestine. 5 years ago.

Oh for sure brown people work hard. That’s why they’ve filled all the jobs us lazy ass Canadians won’t do. Like berry picking, ghetto construction jobs, labor positions and agricultural work.

Without them, this country wouldn’t run.

I don’t know if these other immigrant groups would be as inclined to work like this while shacking up 10 into a 1 bedroom, but that’s their competition. I tip my hat to you gurpreet, you fucking hero you

Image being 20 and living at home. Someone offers you a job at a ski resort in the Swiss alps. the only downside is you would have to live with 5 other dudes in a one bedroom. Would you take it?

Your justifications for turning everything into the 3rd world are gross/hilarious.

Countries like Switzerland aren’t forced to use 3rd world unskilled labour because they value their citizens and have created a society where they can rely on their own citizens to staff jobs people view as below them etc.

Here in Canada we blew our loud at the expense of a few, and now we have 30 guys living in a basement suite so we can have a tim hortons every other block.

Canada shot itself in the foot and now even Turd, the Indian guys biggest advocate is having regrets about the paths they took.

When I was in Switzerland the cashier as a tiny grocery store spoke German, French, and Mandarin. They are skilled people working unskilled jobs because they’ve incentivized an economy where people feel valued working them.

Here you see the guy working behind the counter of a Tim’s or Wendy’s and think who is this fucking loser

I dont know how to ski, so for me its no bueno

What? we were too poor growing up to learn these leisure activities.

We only got leisure activity learnings that were free or basically free..

swimming (free pool days on tuesdays, and uhhh saturday i believe)
bicycling (got a bike from value village)

and thats about it....

You missed the whole point of my post.

FYI: both our employees can speak and write 3 languages. One graduated from university in India the other is going to VIU.

How many languages do you speak and write and what university did you graduate from?

Yeah but that’s moot bro….. jagmeet can speak and write 3 languages (probably with a huge fucking accent on the Engrish) but he still works at your gas station for minimal wage ?

I don’t care if Honda is a high school drop out, he’s still doing better than sunjeet there.

Just saying…. They might work hard but it’s a friggin uphill battle if you ain’t from around here.

Doing better for now. The older employee just bought a house with her husband. A lot of Indians you see working at tims or walmart are overqualified for that job but that's all they can get as new immigrants.

Isn't that typical for immigrants? They work their ass off so they can give their family a better life. The only issue is working hard these days doesn't pay off the same as it did back in the 80's/90's.

That being said, I would take hard work over talent any day of the week. You can't teach hard work.
