    Look man I know you that it pisses you off. I understand. But look at this way. The ones that are coming are the one you want. Or at least I hope you want. If I could leave and keep my retirement I would.

      It’s not unreasonable to prefer people from a country that isn’t trying to colonize you. Even ‘the good ones’ don’t get that, which illustrates the point.

          It’s not comparable at all. Show me where Mexico has been economically and culturally colonizing the USA for a hundred years, and made it part of their culture.

          US cultural ignorance about Canada and built-in arrogance is exhausting. Most of you folks just don’t get it, and this thread is a fine example.

          We’ve been housing refugees from the USA for centuries, and getting the first bit of the next flood already. Them we take just fine. We’re good for that.

            Your reasons for being unhappy aren’t completely unfounded. We get that. It just doesn’t change the fact that you’re wallowing in a Canadian brand of conservatism in response to our even stupider conservatism. It isn’t going to stop folks from rolling their eyes at the tone deafness or finding amusement at your microcosm of our own bullshit.

            It’s clutching poo to your chest while complaining that we’re exporting our stinkier poo on your doorstep. Is ours stinkier? Sure, I’ll be the first to admit it and include our right leaning “liberal” party in that statement. It’s still poo.
