Trudeau is a fucking joke. Everyone was so concerned with getting rid of Harper, nobody cared who we replaced him with.
Why do charismatic idiots always get elected?

People in this thread seem to think Trudeau is going to open the floodgates for immigrants. Keep in mind, lots of people voted for Harper in previous elections, thinking he was going to take action against immigration. He didn't. Immigration to Canada has been about a quarter-million per year for the last 2 decades. Harper knew that immigration is necessary for a country with negative fertility rates, as does every other person to hold office.
Also, no, most immigrants do not come from the Middle East. Harper made a last-ditch attempt to rally people against Muslims by trying to stop women from wearing the niqab when they take their citizenship oath. There have literally 2 women who have ever refused to take it off during their oath. And frankly, I don't give a fuck what someone is wearing when they become a Canadian citizen. If they passed the test and completed their eligibility, they're already Canadians as far as I'm concerned. Those who don't want them to be wearing it claim it's a symbol of oppression of women, or the encroachment of their culture on ours. A big part of being Canadian is that unless someone is being actively harmed, we have no business picking and choosing which cultures we deem acceptable or not. If you want to 'free' these women from their oppressive ways, then go after the men you think are imposing this, no the ones you claim are being subjugated.

These are the same people that think republicans will be tough on immigration, meanwhile the influx of latin american refugees in america was both allowed and caused by the policies of George W. Bush. Idiots that claim to be for personal liberty, and then knock the only canidate looking to enact widespread drug law reform for not being xenophobic enough.

I had no idea Filipinos are the largest group of immigrants to Canada. That explains all the white dudes with Filipino wives I guess.

It isn't, Japan is doing just fine by shucking common wisdom. When unemployment is rising you really don't need to compensate for dropping fertility rates.

Japan is on the verge of an employment catastrophy. Their aging workforce and low youth population is a ticking time-bomb for when the average citizen is too old to contribute. Don't be fooled by their low unemployment rate. That's likely indicative of a lack of available workers to fill the jobs.

You seriously fucked up, CANADA! You now have a man that does not see Islam as a threat to your liberal values in a position to direct immigration policy regarding the Syrian Jihadist refugees waiting to come to Canada:
"OTTAWA — The Muslim Canadian Congress criticized Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau Tuesday for his association with what it calls "Canada's leading Islamist group."
Last Friday Trudeau was the guest at an Islamic Society of North America event. The organization and its Canadian branch endorse polygamy and support Sharia law in Canada.
"We are deeply disappointed that Justin Trudeau continues to appease known Islamist organizations that not only have a tainted record in the U.S. but who are known proponents of Sharia law in Canada," MCC president Mumtaz Khan said.
Last year, Trudeau caused a stir by delivering the keynote speech at the Reviving the Islamic Spirit conference, which listed another controversial group, IRFAN Canada, as a sponsor until days before the conference.
Newly appointed Immigration Minister Chris Alexander didn't want to criticize Trudeau, but said he was invited to speak at the same event and declined.
B'nai Brith president Frank Dimant has requested a meeting with Trudeau to discuss concerns with the group, as well as Trudeau's vision for Canada."

First speech from Trudeau and he's already kissing muslim ass and promoting diversity.
[–] AllDancingCrap 6 points 0 points 6 points (+6|-6) ago (edited ago)
well F. I was thinking of emigrating (legally, try to get a job before and continue studying there) but if is going to be flooded with muslims its going to be a less attractive country to emigrate to.
Edit: @MetalAegis Canada is still for me a great country, its just that I´m afraid that with the income of Muslims, although most of them are not extremists, some of them are and eventually will bring their interpretation of the Q´ran and them well its a matter of time. Hopefully it wont happen and a cultural invasion wont happen, but is a possibility given the current situation in the middle east.

For fuck sake, what is wrong with these politicians!
The moment this Trudeau prick makes a move to offer Canada's economy to the entire Muslim middle east to use as a glory hole, he should be dragged from his office by the people of Canada and have his mistakes "explained" to him!
Good people work hard their entire lives to contribute to the success of a country... and all it takes is one leftist government to take a shit on generations of accomplishments and to turn it's population into the income-tax-slaves for a race of useless fuzzy-faced-cavemen!
Is Trudeau going to legally recognize refugee child marriage... like Germany is... and make it legal for Muslims to rape children in Canada too?

The problem we have in Canada is the lack of a better alternative. They are all liberal cocksuckers competing to see who can suck the most cock. People are too polite to disagree with the liberal agenda in public. We need a Canadian Trump to replace them.

Islam is not a race, I'm getting tired of expressing that fact.
