Fix the entry system and restrict immigration????

You racists!!! /g

I can't believe people are saying that. Weren't we literally called racist scumbags a few months ago by our dear leader for suggesting that immigration might be a problem?

Now they want to deport everyone and let nobody in!

We’re talking about “illegals” and how to deal with people who overstay their visa, not just rounding up people you don’t like. That’s more of a Hitler thing.

You are right.

But let’s start with the illegals that are marching on our streets yelling death to Canada.

OMG, you can't do that! That's "racist and unCanadian." TM

What makes you think any “illegals” are doing that?

Can we see a source on if these people are illegals? Or are we just taking the easy route and assuming they're illegal? I'm getting the sense it's the latter. But hey, maybe for every 100 marchers you might get right sometimes.

Ya, they don't look very Old Stocky.

[Doctorfever]

Hahaha.

You guys are funny!

I should have been more clear. Of all the illegals that are in Canada, let’s deport the ones that are chanting “death to Canada”. I’m not sure that they are contributing anything positive enough to outweigh that negative behaviour.

How many of those are there? Have you identified the nationality of those chanting "death to Canada"?

Why does the nationality matter? It shouldn’t.

That was until Kenney happened and he was forced to answer questions about covid restrictions and vaccine mandates after Kenney's embarrassing press conference. O'Toole even had a climate change plan with carbon pricing (one of the large reasons he was booted). CPC also won the popular vote.

CPC tried the moderate route, and it failed. Liberals called an unneeded election because they were polling extremely well and were expecting to get a majority before the campaign, let's not forget. I expect that the CPC would have lost handily had they been further right instead of winning the popular vote as they did. Their shift to the center bled votes to the PPC that took 5% of the crazy vote while their lackluster message on vaccines and vaccine message when the population was predominantly pro-vaccine and pro-vaccine mandate, was an own goal.



Yet here they are. Further right than ever. Pants-on-head stupidity all by themselves as you say. 43% polling projected for supermajority status with a 20 point lead. And they are about to win handily because the alternative is just that bad. Folks who have failed at criticizing Liberals or NDP to wake up and listen to their constituents or risk to further alienate their own base, focusing solely on the CPC being bad, scary, populist, etc, are why this result is expected.

That again speaks more about the Liberal-NDP collapse than it does the CPC turning things around (which obviously they did not).

Sheer won the popular vote too. Trudeau only won the popular vote in 2015 when he was fresh-faced, ran left of Mulcair and people were tired of Harper.

Canadian Press says the anti-NATO protest had about 80 people.

You've got me confused. You are saying the illegal's chanting death to Canada should be deported. How do you know they are illegal without knowing their nationality(or citizenship, if you prefer)? You are literally the one saying it matters. Now you say it shouldn't? Please clarify.

I don’t know who is an in Canada.

Of all the illegals in Canada, I would like the one deported who are marching on the streets chanting “death to Canada”.

Don’t know what is so difficult to understand about that.

Do you want those specific people to stay in Canada?

Do those people exist or are you going to say “I don’t know if they exist but if they do they should be deported” to continue yet another chapter of the game you think nobody ever knows you’re playing while you’re playing it?

[GirlySports]

This is a funny argument. People who are here illegally shouldn't be here no matter what they are doing.

Now even people on visas, yelling 'death to canada' isn't a crime.

It is like reading Curves trying to explain how City Hall isn’t doing enough to budget better.
