As a American, I have become entirely jaded and have nothing but frustration, anger and anxiety towards actions of the supposed leader of this nation. Hearing this leader speak is so refreshing.

I am an immigrant & am just speechless at the decay! Living here for over 18 yrs, this wasn't what we met when we first arrived. When we came here, we schooled & worked.... Now you can't find any job. I lost my job in June.... And until now I can't find another. It was tough to get EI agreed to pay me a few weeks for the same money they collected from my pay. Somebody should tell the Liberal govt to stop bringing people pls.

My girlfriend lives in Brampton, it’s a really nice city and I’ve always felt welcome there as a white guy dating a Punjabi woman. Theres a lot of cities like this surrounding the GTA, Richmond Hill with Iranians, Markham with Chinese, Etobicoke with Ukrainians. Brampton has Punjabis. Brampton is probably the most successful out of all of them, prosperous, growing rapidly and it has a low crime rate.

came to Canada 40 years ago. I’ve lived both sides of the coin — dignity and opportunity, but also racism. Telling immigrants to ‘leave their values and cultures’ is wrong. What makes Canada strong is multiculturalism: we bring our values, humanity, and traditions, and we mix them with Canadian society. That doesn’t divide us — it makes us Canadian. Stop spreading racism by saying culture doesn’t belong here. You can be Canadian and bring your culture, that’s what multiculturalism means.
First-person account of 40-year immigrant experience combined with ethical argument defending multiculturalism and opposing racism.

Im a hindu born and raised in alberta. My family assimilated, we have canadian values. I have a business, pay my share of taxes. Im a contributing member of society.
