Do you guys not realize the government dumped several hundred refugees and immigrants into Forest Lawn and Dover over 40 years ago and it's still happening today? I recieve monthly cheques from the government to pay for my tenants who are refugees...not a coincidence.
And this isn't a thing that just started 5 years ago, it started over 35 years ago and is still happening today.
Anytime there is a war in another country and Canada brings in immigrants to Calgary to save them from war where do you think they dump them? Forest Lawn and Dover that's where. There is a huge problem in Edmonton right now in certain neighborhoods with black refugess...is it a coincidence they mostly all live in the same neighborhood?
The only reason I am here is because Canada brought my dad and mom here from Lebanon over 30+ years ago. Now some people like my dad worked hard started a business and succeeded here while others ran into huge culture shock and couldn't fit in and had to resort to crime to make a living.
Not blaming the government because frankly they should be applauded for the help they give people in war torn countries, but just my perspective onto why these neighborhoods are having problems and will continue to have problems.

Absolutely, and as they start to get more of a comfortable living situation, they have moved on to places like Temple,Pineridge,Castleridge etc... I wish the visible minorities would spread out more across the city, but if this thread is any indication as to how they would be treated in othe more affluent communities, I can see why they tend to stick together.
