Canada generally sucks

We want old Canada back, the pre-2015 era was the best era. This new era sucks t*ts and isn't as good as the pre 2015 era.\nWe want the old freedoms back, we want our rights back. We want Harper back rather than have Trudeau in the office. \nWe want our country back from UN right freaking now. \nUN can screw itself, the queen as well along with the Elite families. \nWe want independence from the queen at this instance.\nCanada should be a republic not a Full Democracy(Flawed Democracy) or a Monarchy/Matriarchy. \nScrew David Suzuki foundation and his hippie peace loving cult following. \nF*** Toronto Ontario, and F*** Post National Canada. \n#FreeCanadaInitative

America was just lucky, because it very nearly had Hillary Clinton as President. Canada was unlucky. We got our Hillary Clinton up here and it really really sucks. I hope that we can get a better Prime Minister in elections in 2019.

We aren't paying for no wall. Why soil the longest undefended border on earth just because Canada is running out of hotel rooms for their transnational tourists that want to suck them dry?

Something people need to know is that while Trump was just a little shy of receiving the popular vote to win big, our closet queen only received 39% of the popular vote to win a majority government. NOW THAT SUCKS BIG!!!!! So NO the Mills are NOT the majority of the voters. Also I,m from Alberta where he did not got much support. The majority of his support and that of socialism came from the East. That is the part of Canada a lot of Albertans wish to disassociate themselves from. Ontario is our California!!!

Sucks for Mr. Castillo because you can tell he’s a worker and probably not a mooch at all, but the US and Canada are countries based on laws and those laws, immigration law included, are to be followed. You tried your damnedest but it’s time to move on back home.

I'll lay it out for you: Me: typical middle of the road liberal oriented Canadian. Non white, immigrant (I wasnt born here) I worked in a Refugee housing for over 4 years in Ontario. Most were not war areas refugees (Yes I know there are other types of refugees). I only encountered few refugees from war areas. ONLY 1 person from Iraq, about 2 families were from Afghanistan, 1 couple from Pakistan(I doubt they were real refugees they spoke fluent English, maybe political refugee), and a most from African countries. Its too far for real refugees to get here. Its Easier for them to go to other countries nearby or Europe. MOST SEEM TO BE ECONOMIC REFUGEES. Most were coming from Africa. Some are coming from Latin America, which shouldn't be happening. Once they showed up at our doorstep and we processed them into the system, they were immediately in the same class as a Canadian resident homeless person if they were making a refugee claim. We get money to house and feed them (from the government), and they are given a stipend for basics from the government processed through the Social Assistance/ Welfare system (they get less than a resident/citizen I think.). They then have to get their case processed by the refugee board, and most seem to get in. I've only heard of few getting sent back. One person I know at our facility, was given a subsided social housing apartment after a year in our facility. So they went straight from a shelter to a government/city owned subsidized apartment. (Didn't seem like it was a issue for the housing worker...they didn't report it (if they were not the ones that helped the person to get it), they were white, the housed person was Latin. This refugee claimant, and then month or two new Canadian resident person was given an apartment in a prime area of the city, instead of the 1000's of Canadians, those who came before them, and born Canadian citizens on an extremely long waiting list. How this was allowed to happen I don't know. The person was probably sucking on someone's straw. I'm just trying to think the barriers these people have to go through to get a job here. We are far removed from the time of the 80's and 90's., and housing and jobs are so hard to get. Lol the "Canadian government asks them to repay the traveling cost to Canada if they are sent back"....I wonder how much the government recoups?.....more like 0 probably. What a bunch of crap. How do you demand someone to repay their flight cost when they get back to their country?

Crazy? So Canada is now seeing what its like when everyone thinks they can just show up and become a citizen after year's of shit talking the us on open boarders. The boy king is a moron and I for one am glad to see Justin having to eat his words. Sucks for all these poor folks who have been lied too.\nMaybe immigrating properly would have been the better choice.

“Canada sucks”

Asylum? From US? Lol that’s funny I’m all for keeping the illegal immigrants that make the effort to learn English and contribute to taxes and not utilize many welfare programs that Some Americans already do. I get it your country sucks, but you gotta at least attempt the immigration process to live in US or Canada

Obviously he does lmao Canada sucks

and Canada's health care system sucks........its pathetic compared to the US......but Canadians are brainwashed by their Government..............the Canadian Government has them brainwashed to accept the so called Free Healthcare, and run by a bunch nitwit politicians is pathetic.......Canada is like dictatorship dictating how Canadians should live their lives.......its become so ridiculous.......the USA is way better for sure

Oh great. This was posted on my birthday. Listen: i've lived here for nearly 15 years. \nFirst thing I noticed when I came here was the diner. Menu was pages and pages and pages. A plate could feed a family of four. \nGet a job with healthcare. It's not so difficult. Come on now. Obamacare has to go! \nCoworkers of mine can't afford it. \nYou are still far too liberal/socialist.\nOh, and right... i couldn't dare live without my Amazon Prime. \nHealthcare SUCKS in Canada. In the US it is GREAT.

What a subtle way by the CBC of saying your restaurant isn't closing down because of your skin color, its because your food is too overpriced and the service sucks. The Chinese restaurant across the street is still going strong.\nStop pulling out the race card for everything.\n\nI'm not saying saying racism doesn't exist in Canada but saying your business is failing because you're black even though other minorities in the area aren't being discriminated against? Maybe you should reevaluate your service, pricing, and quality of the product instead.
