I would avoid using terms like “replacing” when it comes to humans. You may not mean it, but people may read what you wrote as supporting the “Le Grand Remplacement”
My family mostly came over prior to the 1800’s, and they changed their last name to appear less Scottish when they did so. I believe that we should continue to welcome new immigrants to Canada.
How different the city will evolve in either case ?
Well, I lived in one prairie town of less than 20k people on the prairies that basically only encouraged temporary farm labour as opposed to immigration. It’s dying a slow death and losing population. The town looks shabby, and when you leave high school, you leave town. There isn’t a reason to stay unless you got someone pregnant, or you work at one of the 2 factories.
I now live in another prairie town that actively reaches out to new Canadians, having a welcome centre, and includes non-religious holiday celebrations. It’s growing, it’s vibrant, it’s safe, and it’s clean. People with different experiences come up with different solutions to problems, so as long as everyone is reasonable, it leads to better outcomes.
What does this say on our communities ?
It means that (white) Canadians don’t have a long history of being as exploited and that Canada is a nation with general political stability, allowing for the development of a more robust economy.
Our places are so crappy that you can’t even have your own children ?
I see people with kids here every day. Some people, including myself, have chosen to not have kids. It’s considered common knowledge that the richer a nation is, the lower the birth rate. I see less accidental children now than I did 20 years ago, which may be linked to the availability of birth control options.
What’s the point of a community ?
Humans are social creatures. Communities give a place of belonging, as well a group of people who generally help each other.
I don’t really get why you’re asking this question.
The Saskatchewan government is revamping its employment standards and asking the public for feedback on what needs to change. Some current and former restaurant servers said it's time for new rules on tipping.
More Canadian developers are slowing their pace of building or nixing projects completely. Here's what you need to know about your rights if you bought a pre-sale home.
They won’t though. Our financial system judges companies on being more-profitable than they were last year, and being more more-profitable than other companies. It’s not about making a living, it’s about infinite growth.
On side is a park, the other side is residential.
This is the exact place where you’d want low speed limits. Some cities treat the roads beside parks like school zones, dropping the speed to 25 or 30 kph.
Prussian Blue being used as a user by someone also saying “top keks” rings the same for me as it does for @JennySmiles
The Leuchter report was an inaccurate study that was trying to disprove that there were gas chambers at Auschwitz, to try to help Nazis in court. It did this by claiming that because there wasn’t any Prussian blue, that there couldn’t’ve been cyanide in the chambers/showers, since Prussian Blue contains cyanide.
This is like saying that because you don’t have a cake, your kitchen has never had an eggs.
But of course, when the walls of were tested cyanide was found.
Not sure who Myles Powers is, but I am glad that you’re not a garbage person.
The reason why non-rightoids don’t use “top kek” is because it’s from 4chan. “kek” is from Wow, but “top kek” isn’t.
Much like other phrases and symbols (like the Celtic cross, odal rune, swastika), once the racists use it to identify themselves, the non-racists shy away from using it.
