Yeah. Also, clearly doesn't understand what is going on (TBF, I don't know shit about Canadian politics either), but the stupid violent people with guns will be overjoyed if trump is the president.

Just as the students in Iran were overjoyed when the shah fell right up until the reality of living under a theocratic dictatorship sunk in.

I simply pointed out the reality of the situatuation. Canada can't take in millions of American refugees fleeing a christofascist authoritarian regime.

Your understanding of the effects of immigration is childish.

[–] MapleEngineer 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Ok. Explain to me how a country of 40 million people that doesn't have sufficient housing for the people who are here now can house millions of political refugees from the US before winter hits and they all freeze to death?

Keep in mind we're not talking about gradual immigration. We're talking a wave of potentially millions of refugees fleeing a christofascist dictatorship or civil war.

Your insults are very childish. Do better.

Just make Newfoundland pay for it, they pay for everything else.

Newfoundland gets over $200 million in annual equalization payments.

The New-fees I have worked with have a different assessment of the situation
