If you have a problem with immigration then you need to talk to your government and city council about it. These people are coming legally per your country’s rule, so no point blaming them to be there. You should have a problem with your government to stop this not the people.
Appeals to fairness and legal process, arguing that blame should target government policy rather than immigrants themselves, grounded in ethical reasoning.

One thing i can and do respect about indians is that they will never be pushy with their religions. Sure you'll find some "bad apples" but rare.
Then there are other countries, that are much more pushy with their religions. I have no respect for that.
So there might be a lot of them, but they don't ruin it as per say. As long as they don't shit on the beach and use garbage cans and not sidewalks.
I won't go to india an impose my belief or way of living. And i don't think they do that in canada either. But others do it.
Sadly, by association of the religion, some will see them as the same people.
Anyways we're in 2026, religions are stone age laws to scare people. Now we have actual laws that are based on being a decent person, not the winner or the best, or the only right way. No need for some boogeyman in the sky to scare you, 10 years in prison should be enough to make you behave like a decent human. Even 1 month is enough for me to not be some idiot.
We had horses, now we have cars.
We had gods, now we have laws.
Simple evolution and progress. Well some countries didn't get that update apparently.
And noooo, if i say one bad word about an ideology, not a race (yaaawn, human race, all the same) i will be hunted down.
That should tell you everything about the situation.
You don't like my ideas? Ok, you do you.
I don't like your ideas? Throw me off a roof? I'm sorry what?
Should all be banned worldwide. Believe what you want, don't impose your ignorance on others. Especially not with force or threats.
Extended philosophical argument about religious tolerance, cultural respect, and behavioral standards framed through ethical principles rather than policy critique.

Reality is that citizens of both countries need to foster our friendships through this period of bad public policy. It's predicated on creating conflict to separate people rather than support them in working together.

In a sense, this tariff war is a sign of humility. We as society consume too much, with things we don't need, but waste. Feed the hungry and house the homeless

Unfortunately for us, donald only cares about the rich sacks of skin that frequent maralargo and pretend to be his friend.\n\nTarriffs are not going towards funding childcare, they are are not going to assist the elderly or those in financial need. They are overwhelmingly going to support the bloated elite who seek it as their moral duty to hoard wealth to the detriment of society.
Argues that Trump prioritizes wealthy elites over vulnerable populations, framing this as a moral failure and economic injustice.

Invasion?? They aren’t Americans invading Iraq and slaughtering millions. Those Indians came here legally by the permission of the Canadian government, probably because white Canadians didn’t want to do jobs
