Immigrants make up the largest share of the population in over 150 years and continue to shape who we are as Canadians
Canada has a long history of immigration. Millions of people from all over the world have chosen, and continue to choose, Canada as their new home. In 2021, more than 8.3 million people, or almost one-quarter (23.0%) of the population, were, or had ever been, a landed immigrant or permanent resident in Canada. This was the largest proportion since Confederation, topping the previous 1921 record of 22.3%, and the highest among the G7.
Given that
the population of Canada continues to age and
fertility is below the population replacement level, today
immigration is the main driver of population growth. If these trends continue, based on Statistics Canada's recent
population projections, immigrants could represent from 29.1% to 34.0% of the population of Canada by 2041.
Immigrants accounted for 23.0% of the population in 2021, the largest proportion in over 150 years. Among them, 1.3 million new immigrants were admitted from 2016 to 2021. Coming from many countries, immigrants settle throughout Canada and contribute to the growth of the population and the...

I'm obviously not racist, but feel I should specify that right off the bat anyway...
I think we need go start being
a lot more 'narrow' in terms of what populations we want to have immigrate here.
I have absolutely no problem was folks from India. No problem at all. My best neighbours have usually always been from India, and the last 2 or 3 times I needed to have my car pushed off an icy patch it was East Indians ghat stopped to help.
Generally speaking, they hold themselves to a high standard. Hence the number of East Indian doctors & nurses we have.
I find our cultures blend together fairly well, and until this recent Canada-India bullshit started, they tend to be an immigrant group that assimilates into Canadiab culture quite well while still maintaining their own.

There's a reason why Egypt had just made their border wall higher & more reinforced over the last year, and why Jordan said a clear 'F**k No!' when the world was looking at where to send refugees from Gaza...
In terms of the topic thread, all one has to do is look at the Rally infront of the Vancouver library or just the other day in a Montreal train station to see the dangers these groups pose to the general public (re individual acts of terrorism, or mass gatherings to put a stall on public life)
When their calls for 'Death to Canada' are met with cheers from the crowd, surely it isn't lost on anybody paying attention that this isn't good.
Declaring one of these groups as a terrorist organization sounds great and all, but what does that actually do in terms of fixing the problem practically??
Are we deporting these individuals promptly? Are they being monitored by the relevant intelligence & law enforcement agencies? Are their associations being noted and logged?
I imagine CSIS is doing its thing, and the CSE is doing its thing.
But what is preventing these organizations from still meeting up, just in locations that are less public? Or in private residences?
If being labelled as a terrorist organization doesn't come with a tangible, practical consequence (such as immediate detention and deportation), than it seems like labelling them as such is moreso just aomething we do to make ourselves feel better, or feel safer, than ACTUALLY doing something to help keep people safer...
Am I missing something about the current situation? (I actually have no experience and very very limited knowledge of what tangible consequences come with locals being labelled a terrorist group)
I know some of you were skepticle about my 'wild and crazy' prediction of where this is all headed, but the more this nonsense unfolds the more confident I am in that prediction.
Remember - "train hard, because tomorrow might not be practice."
