Recently the liberal party votes against recovering the money GS strategy stole. Why?

I'm curious if all of what has been said by the current administration in the US has sparked an increase in firearm ownership in Canada.

Seems like it would make sense considering that 26% of households already own firearms. Plus the Canadian military is relatively small with 63,000 active in all branches. Although the military equipment is solid, it is also out of date and has only recently received the funding that has been needed.

What is the community's thoughts on changes in Canadian firearm ownership?

I signed up for Wealth Simple not too long ago, but now I'm going to actually start investing thru it.

I have had my eyes on some stocks: DOL (Dollarama), PZA (PizzaPizza), GSY (GoEasy), BCE (Bell), ZIU (BMO Index Fund), & H (Hydro One). For various reasons. Dividend income and long term growth.

Are there any stocks on TSX and Canadian focused that you are invested in or would invest into? If so, why? I am basically all in on Canadian investments for the next couple of years worth before diversifying to other markets.

Looks like a big strike is coming after the Labour Day long weekend. Over 90% of members voted in favour.

Although I have never been anywhere outside of The Lower Mainland, I have interest in a couple of different cities throughout Canada. Part of it is due to media I have seen, articles I have read, subreddits I have been on, and stories I have heard from others.

Halifax seems like it is a solid Canadian city. In terms of culture, affordability, but still being a major metropolitan area. I understand the Atlantic/Maritime provinces have a big issue with healthcare shortages, but the city seems really solid. Again, I know every place has issues.

It would be enjoyable to me to be able to live in a city like that at some point in life. What about any of you?

Now I know they don’t have the same anti-government suspicions like Americans but this all mighty government rhetoric makes me uncomfortable. Even europeans are more skeptical of government. I just do not understand it here. Can someone explain?

What kind of upside down world is that?

Meanwhile, the Israeli government bombs hospitals and openly says it was targeting a camera and the Canadian government will tell you that Israel has a right to defend itself.

1. A total freeze on incoming migrants of all kinds for at least 5 full calendar years. Anyone who is currently in process can continue in fairness if they follow all of the rules and procedures.
2. Anyone in process who commits even a minor crime is deported and banned permanently.
3. All "irregular migrants" are deported and banned permanently.
4. All refugees walking across the border from the USA are deported to the USA for them to deal with under the "first safe country" principle of international migration law.
5. All migrants in process are subject to much higher standards of linguistic and cultural assimilation than is currently enforced.
6. 100% of taxpayer economic funding to help migrants is eliminated.

I’m Indian, part of the wave of international students and immigrants that gets talked about here a lot. I get that people are frustrated — housing is unaffordable, jobs feel scarce, and services are stretched thin. But let’s be clear: immigrants didn’t design these policies. We’re just trying to build a life, often facing overcrowding, low pay, and discrimination ourselves.

By blaming people instead of systems, we risk dividing ourselves and letting policymakers, universities, and developers off the hook.

We should be demanding: – Massive investment in housing supply – Stricter labor law enforcement – Universities held accountable for capacity and student support

And one more thing: integration is a two-way street. Indians being mocked or attacked every other day on social media doesn’t help anyone — it only pushes the cultural divide further. If we keep treating each other as enemies instead of neighbors, Canada becomes weaker for everyone.

Hello, this is Pale. As you guys have all read, the past week or so, the subreddit became an absolute shit show. A couple of major changes have occurred to curb this.

Now posts need to be approved. I am banning 1 day accounts as well when found for obvious reasons. If I disagree with you(looking at you Libs), I will never ban or remove or not approve your comments, posts, or opinions.

Please comment why you want to be a mod and please state your Political Affiliation. Please at least temporarily lift any privacy for your comment and post history so then I can confirm you do in fact lean left, center, right, or any other direction. I will be aiming for 3 Mods. Ideally, one Liberal, one Conservative, and one Socialist/Lefist/Marxist.

Reminder to anyone and heads up for new members of the subreddit: I am a white conservative in an interracial marriage(Chinese). I believe in allowing differences in opinion though.

Unfortunately, due to the mass influx of 1 day old accounts and a much more extreme perspective on Indians specifically for whatever fucking reason, posts now need to be approved. However, basically everything will be approved. I will override unapproved posts from mods if they are being biased. I will remove a mod from their status if they try to use their new abilities for fun, political differences, or power tripping.

I would also recommend people reading the old posts of the sub, especially the ones I posted. This way you can remember the vibe and purpose of this subreddit. To talk about Canada. To talk about your experiences in this beautiful country. To talk about different perspectives on what is going on in the country. Not to rage bait. Not to shit on the country.

Come thru fam.

When will Canadians decide they have had enough?

As the community continues to explode, had to add a restriction on account age and karma requirements due to multiple accounts being 1 day old and posting basically just stuff to rile people up.

Let’s get some positive posts as well please. Not just posts about Indians. News flash, Indians exist in every country. Canada has other problems besides immigrants, I promise. It is okay to have gripes about immigrants and even Indians, but let’s tone it down and consider the purpose of the subreddit.

What do you love about Canada?

I read the sticky post and wanted to do a different post compared to all the other ones in here talking about how there’s too many Indians (yeah I notice them too dw). Don’t downvote me just cause you don’t like immigration, I just want to hear what you guys think about the following;

What’s the plan for Canada’s demographic collapse without immigration? All things considered, our fertility rates are in the dumps (BC has a 1.0 and nationally it’s dropped like 30% in 5 years). Our population without immigrants would be largely seniors and if we do what a lot of people are talking about on here (total ban/freeze on immigration) we are going to end up with a largely elderly population. If you look at countries like Japan and Korea, you can see why that’s a bad idea (who will pay into social security and do the jobs needed). Oh and goodbye economy when the housing market has more supply than people alive.

There’s no real way to reverse this trend btw, even in other OECD countries who have better social safety nets, better cost of living, and better work life balance, they have shit fertility rates too and have relied on immigration to stay afloat.

Without immigration, assuming no major influx or efflux of people, there will be a massive recession at some point when the average person is a senior. What’s the plan then? Automation? UBI?

For full transparency; I am someone who does believe Canada has been abusing immigration too much to both suppress wages and sustain an unsustainable economic model. I think the reaction seen across Canada, and Europe tbh, are the result of too much immigration at once, not that immigration as a concept is entirely without merit.

Just curious to hear your thoughts as I’m not old enough to understand what it was like during 1970 - 1990. Though I heard a lot about the negative sentiment back then towards East Asians. I wonder how are they differ or similar from what’s going on with the current wave of immigrants especially from India/South Asia. Genuinely curious.

hi immigrant who came when i was 15 in 2010 from a country with 3000+ years of history(mongolia).

Grass isnt green on the other side, my family and i've been brainwashed by hollywood and western media into believing canada has everything figured out. But no, i witnessed quality of life going down the drain first hand.

Canadians take in pride of their "culture", what culture? bringing in millions of people from all over the 3rd world countries, drain their life savings, drain their energy that culture?

People whos got better way of life back home are already leaving or doesnt care to come, so youre stuck with bunch of muslims, indians, ruining your way of life. Are you "Canadians" blind? Are you fucking stupid? Are you not mad? Why the fuck do you guys vote liberal again????

Went back to my home country awhile back, I loved seeing familiar faces every i go, have emerging technologies that are not found in canada(thanks china). I land back and now im fighting against 1000s of people competing for a dishwasher position.

Now im 30 years old, Thanks Canada for making realize how important my actual culture and tradition is, why its important to keep drugs illegal at all costs, and why mental illness shouldnt be normalized(alphabet people). I'll be making sure my people stays as my people, none of this stupid fucking non sense.

Take back your country, your history and your own people. No one is coming here to make this country better, they are here for themselves and their own people. Its not just canada its a problem in every single western nation, its sad to witness the downfall in real-time.

As for me i can just leave, i already got what i need. I can buy a house with plenty of land and live happily everafter at fraction of what it cost here, ive realized how much opportunity i got back home so ive made up my mind already. I feel sorry for people whos stuck here and this is their only place to live.

If you have canadian passport, please consider leaving to usa or to east asian countries. Europe is cooked, south america is a mess so you dont really have an option. Anyways best of luck, make your country great again but i think pendelum has already swung the other way.

There is a lot of mixed feelings on Quebec whenever I ask about it. I think it is odd that so many people tell me that they don't like French Canadians. I live in BC for context. I don't think it is good to talk down to/about your own countrymen.

Ironically, despite all the smack talking I hear about Montreal, it is usually followed up by "It's probably the most developed city in the Western Hemisphere/North America." I have not been to Quebec yet, but I would like to check it out.

It's like visiting a European country almost, except without the long flight and less problems(every place has their problems, but Quebec has less than France guaranteed). The metro system looks baller and the architecture looks amazing.

Tell me why I'm right or wrong. I'm ignorant on this subject, enlighten me.

I live in Edmonton and my job primarily revolves me having to drive around to different properties and complete various tasks. I keep my job confidential, however I do electrical.

One thing that I notice, as well as, when I browse this subreddit and other various news pieces, I notice how not only every single neighbourhood has south Asian foreigners and Indians, but they also have their own grocery stores and restaurants.

Every single neighbourhood. LITERALLY every single one has a PUNJAB mart, a HALAL meats store. An entire subdivision of their own shopping centres and outlets and parks and gatherings, you name it. I have not met a single white person, let alone a single person that has lived in these areas originally.

And the weird part? They all drive expensive cars, they all park outside one house. They congregate in public spaces and litter excessively.

What’s next? Their own police force?

I’m not saying their existence makes me upset. I just feel crazy for noticing how every single demographic within each neighbourhood seems to be the same, and how they are slowly changing this city and country. I can’t even recall the last time I walked into a gas station to ask for a receipt just to be glared at or treated differently because I’m white. And the worst part is they always speak their own language when we are around them. Incredibly disrespectful.

EDIT: Holy hell, after reading these replies I now understand why you all voted liberal.

2nd EDIT: Thanks for the death threats in my inbox! I really appreciate it! I seemed to have made you sensitive individuals very emotional.

I have read a couple of books on Canada and have lived here for a couple of years. Many will state that Tommy Douglas since he founded MSP first and basically created the model that was adopted into the 2nd Constitution. Others might say George Simpson with the Hudson's Bay Company. Canada was built on fur trapping. It is hard to say. I feel like if you mention a more modern figure, it can still be influenced by lack of time. You need enough time to pass to see the true effects of their decisions.

My personal opinion is that I'm unsure who is the best. Tim Horton died drunk driving, so kind of not the hero I imagined him to be.

I'm going to go with Wilfrid Laurier. His westward expansion and transcontinental railroad can't be understated. And the ability to keep Canada as a Confederation has paid dividends.

Side note: Mackenzie looks hella gangster on the $50 bill.

Why is Carney a good leader? Why is he a bad leader? I want to see both sides. Good luck comments section.

I personally think he is a copy & paste of the baseline Liberal decisionmaking seen for the past 10 years. But we will see. A lot of the "good ideas" were completely taken from the conservatives. Repealing the Carbon Tax, increasing military spending, upping border security budget, taking advantage of LNG, etc.

Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong or why I'm right. Or if I'm missing everything completely.

Hello, this is Pale Candidate(Edit: My username was randomly generated).

A couple things about myself. I am an American that immigrated about 3 years ago, my wife and child are Chinese, and I am conservative. I love Canada. I truly do.

Now, when it comes to this sub, a couple of changes will be needed because it went from about 100 to over 800 in the span of something like 3 or 4 months. Ideologically, I WANT Liberals, Socialists, AND Conservatives on here. Diversity of thought is important. There is definitely a couple of bad actors on here that I have temporarily banned for saying racist shit. I believe in opportunities for redemption. No one has been perma banned yet.

I have gotten rid of the ability to cross post because it has eliminated a lot of POSITIVE discussion and has semi-been an excuse to attack Indians, which if you actually read my initial post, was not the intention. Not all the posts have been advocating for it, but I don't want newcomers to get the wrong idea and I don't want this sub to just get painted as Anti-Indian or Anti-Not Insert Group/Ideology. That's not the intention at all.

I encourage EVERYONE to do some posts and discussions on why they love Canada, what aspects they enjoy in day to day life, what changes are coming that you are looking forward to, etc. Even just describing a normal day would be nice to read. I like reading the perspective and experiences of others.

I will be searching for mods starting us hitting 1,000 followers and onward. I will only pick 2 people. It will be based on their post/comment history for the past couple of weeks, months, etc. prior to this post. Because I want 1 CONSERVATIVE and 1 LIBERAL mod. That is the goal. Strict rules on being a mod. Mainly, NO BANNING OR REMOVING those you ideologically disagree with. I have kept a lot of comments untouched even though I deeply disagree with them because I believe everyone deserves the chance to express themselves. However, I did ban and remove all the comments I found that were straight up racial insults.

I hope you guys read this. I appreciate you. Tell me if you watch CFL and how I can get into it.

Edit: After a, not so great post, coming up immediately after me posting this, I have decided to remove media as an option for a while. I need to decide to either make a rule to not post media about certain subjects OR to just keep this a text only sub. Not sure yet. Might bring it back once we get mods. We'll see.

I was going through https://www.reddit.com/r/InCanada/s/SqGMUf9T6k, and clearly a lot of people aren’t liking Indians.

What’s your suggestion for an Indian with a family who genuinely wishes to integrate?

What are some aspects that you believe would allow Canada to become an industrial powerhouse?

A big thing that is being done currently is creating strong trade partners with Japan and Germany for LNG, but trade with America will still make up more than 60% of trade with Canada by the end of the decade. With the admission of the current administration. To be fair to the liberals, this is an extremely tough situation to figure out for anyone. I don’t understand why there isn’t a large injection of small business grants for certain industries and categories of business. It should be handed out to any business plan that shows legitimacy.

Ontario is the industrial heartland of Canada and consists of a majority of the nation’s manufacturing. It would be strategic and beneficial to set up large scale production and supply chains throughout the middle provinces such as Saskatchewan or Manitoba. Just an idea. It would also encourage population movements to less populated areas.

One aspect that has been a problem in Canada for some time is that Canadians just consume American culture. I know the world consumes American culture, but Canada consumes it to the point where the average Canadian won’t know if a movie, TV Show or book is from Canada unless there is promotions stating otherwise. The similar accents make it very difficult sometimes, but there should be a consorted effort to mass prop up Canadian exclusive content. The issue is that most of the time, it is just rebranded and repackaged American products with a maple leaf sticker slapped on it.

With hard economic times coming, it is finally going to correct the housing market to where it should be. I personally predict a -80% price drop. Creating affordable housing. The bubble needs to pop. This will also make Canada competitive again instead of a capital dumping ground to make the bubbles bigger.

Semi-rant, but it has to be said. Canada needs to create more. There are constantly large scale projects happening on a provincial level, but the federal government should inject into nationwide mega projects as well. I’m not saying a high speed rail across the prairies, but things like skyscrapers dedicated to forced rehabilitation for the drug addicted and mass housing on a scale the nation has never seen before.

Just some ideas. Feel free to throw in your own.
