We still have Orange Day parades in Toronto. Beez may not care about the problems of his motherland, but lots of people do.

I didn't know the Admiral was Irish.

I was born in the UK. I have never, not once sought out anyone else from the UK. Instead we just got to work building lives.

If you're white, that's not shocking at all.

It's complete nonsense. Just look all around the city at all the other European immigrant clubs and associations. Italians, Portuguese, Polish, Greek, Maltese, etc. They all sought each other out. Immigrant groups have been doing this for quite literally thousands of years.

For the Brits, it's not because they just wanted to get to work - it is just because British rotate between self hatred and arrogance.

Trump needs to stay in his lane. If not, he can stuff it.

That depends.

Justin is bad for everyone BUT having Trump Lite in office here isn't much better.

My gut tells me that Canadians will see Trump and be leery about the conservatives

Now that would be quite the turnaround.
I find it hard to believe the Liberals can recover by October, but anything is certainly possible.

They don't need to fully recover, just recover enough to be a viable alternative.

It will be interesting to see for this (coming) administration what will be 'good enough'. Given DJT's distain for NATO, perhaps we should focus our efforts and money on NORAD and the arctic.

Right now they are looking at a 19 point deficit. They are projecting 210+ seats for the conservatives and <60 for the Liberals.

If those polls are accurate, it would be a miracle for them to form a government.

That poll was done before Trump got re-elected.

Quite simply, once Canadians are reminded of the similarities between the GOP and Conservatives they will stop to think.

Canadians are alot like Americans but they don't like American politics.

You can say that. But this is the history of Canada. Before this Khalistan crisis, there was the Tamils. And before that, for a huge chunk of our history there was the Catholic vs Protestant thing tied into European politics. Heck, we lost a Father of Confederation to Irish nationalists seeking to end British rule in Ireland. Let's not pretend these issues are unique to the Browns while memory holing the past.

That said, we have failed to integrate so many of these immigrants. And a big part of that is our immigration policy itself. We set up a sham process to get low wage unskilled labour instead of the specifically skilled high value labour we need. That immigration simply compounds our housing and social policy failures, driving ghettoization. And finally, the utter failure of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, along with politicians, to crack down, has contributed. From bungling the Air India bombing investigation to basically letting organized crime from India run GTA neighbourhoods, it's been a long list of law enforcement failures that both failed to stop crime and protect the favourable immigrants in these communities.

We should learn from the past and avoid repeating mistakes in that case.

Richmond Hill movie theatre targeted in arson attack, several months after multiple drive-by shootings​

Nov. 5, 2024

The same Richmond Hill theatre was shot at in January as well, and police were called after an employee arriving for work found the windows shattered.
Shootings occurred at movie theatres in Toronto and Peel Region around the same time.
The spree of drive-by shootings at cinemas across the GTA earlier this year led to Cineplex cancelling screenings of a South Indian film following its premiere.
Cineplex spokesperson Michelle Saba said at the time the company pulled the action film “Malaikottai Vaaliban” from theatres due to circumstances beyond their control.

Two suspects ignited what look to be Molotov cocktails and threw them at a bag placed in front of movie posters.

FYI these are linked to an Indian film movie theatre cartel running in Canada:

Which begs the question of the number of shadowly parallel groups (just like the ones that clashed at the temple) that have been allowed to grow beyond control and are working to challenge the safety and tolerance in our society.

That's not how it works when we're the dependent nation.
