I am a born-in-Canada Canadian. I have 8 years of post-secondary education. I have been unemployed for TWO FULL YEARS. There are many reasons why we Canadians are being bled dry. Who are our competition for jobs? Foreigners, imported into our country by... our government. And, we get to pay for things for THEM like English lessons, among other things. Foreign students take a great many spots at our universities (they pay more in tuition) and they are allowed to work here, taking jobs from Canadians. They have formed wealthy ghettos in our cities wherein they do not have to speak English. In fact, in the Air India court case, one witness took the stand and, after 20 years in Canada, needed an interpreter! 20 years in Canada and that jerk had still not learned any English! I don't know about the rest of you but our government has done its best to reduce the ability of born-in-Canada Canadians to: buy property, get into universities and colleges, and get the jobs they were trained for. But... nobody spoke up. NOBODY SAID A WORD! Everyone - out of fear of being called a racist (which is absolutely ridiculous) - hid their heads in the sand and allowed our governments to change our country forever. Making Canada a mish-mash of disparate "cultures" - each of which doesn't give a rat's ass about the other. If only we could turn back the clocks. We would have a less-populated, less criminal, less polluted, and more peaceful and similar-minded society. The immigrants of many years ago were proud to be Canadians. These ones don't respect us. They just want our land, our medical system (which cannot keep up with the demand), our money, and spots in our education system (which doesn't have enough spots for everyone). Something is very very very wrong. We will ALL be "paupers on the dole" - slaves to wealthy street-smart foreigners who are, at best, opportunists. They want, want, want and they will take, take, take until Canada isn't worth being a desirous destination anymore. Globalization sucks and so does the sheep-like mentality of our politicians and citizens. Where are the people of vision?
