"You people love... you people that come here... you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey... at least you can pay a couple of bucks for a poppy or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada, these guys paid the biggest price."
Of course he lost his job. I can't believe people are really obtuse enough to not be able to understand this. We can argue pedantics and semantics about what he said all day long, but none of it matters.
For future reference:
Good conversations that can have some sort of progressive impact:
re: poppies
- Why are poppy sales down?
- What are some other ways we can take a moment to remember war veterans, as well as provide a source of financial support?
re: immigration
- What are the impacts of immigration?
- Why do some countries allow it and others do not?
- Should Canada allow immigration?
- What are Canada's immigration policies and procedures?
- Are there areas which should be strengthened or loosened?
Bad conversations that have no measurable amount of beneficial outcome:
re: literally any topic of conversation
- Anything that starts with "You people..."
- Anything that can be boiled down to "Get out of my country"
