Newcomers: Cheap Rightwing Fodder

How planeloads of gullible immigrants with bizarre “conservative values” are ending up in a constituency that despises them the most. Now a book addresses that too.

immigrants going conservative As I’ve been saying since forever, imagine hordes and hordes of my fellow wide-eyed, gawky newbies from poorer countries with so-called conservative values arriving on the Canadian soil…

First Nations: Canada’s Own Third World

For newcomers from the Third World, there are sobering lessons to learn from the plight of the old, real Original Canadians.

Canada Third World Our original fellow Canadians – the First Nations of Canada – are Idle No More: Finding new confident voices and a new self-belief to tackle a rightwing federal government that is mandated to be in charge of our great Rentals on Native Land.

Long been marginalised, side-lined, cast-aside and ridiculed by ‘mainstream’ Canadians, the First Nations, it seems, have had enough.

The ‘Racist’ Immigrant?

It’s the rightwing loonies’ favourite accusation. And their hatred for immigrants is not going to stop Canada from changing. But a loony’s denial of change is strong and hellbent, if nothing else.

Immigrant in my soup I get my fair share of ‘feedback’ from self-appointed custodians and national representatives of the Canadian lunatic fringe here on Canada Immigrant Blog. And I’m not being ‘racist’ here. Because some angry loonies are brown, yellow and black like the rest of us: the confused lot of the immigrant minority (the bizarre phenomenon I’ve called The Stupid Immigrant before.)

Canada’s War on Immigrants

With virtually no opposition or objections, how a rightwing administration is successfully ‘purifying’ Canada into an unwelcoming nation of the few and selected.

War on Immigrants A nation of the few, for the few, by the few. I imagine that’s how the banner must read at the monthly Conservative Cabinet meetings somewhere over the sprawling tar-sands mansions in Alberta. But more on that later.

Canada — the glorious and free country I immigrated to with a glowing heart — is being day-light robbed of its peaceful, tolerant, welcoming and kind-hearted persona that

The Selfish Immigrant

Survey shows how short-sighted and self-centred immigrants with ‘conservative values’ want it all for themselves!

Selfish Conservative Immigrant Maintaining and increasing high immigration and population levels is a no-brainer solution for long-term economic growth in Canada. This has been well studied and documented.

Every sizeable developed economy that is also well-populated tends to be economically stronger. It achieves greater living standards and benefits for all of its citizens. On the other hand, a developed country with older or declining population almost always lands into a stagnant economy with declining living standards in the long run.

Ontario Election 2011: Phew, That was Close!

In Canada, Ontario is one of the last few places left (pun so intended!) where people are still using their own brains. But like my fellow immigrants, the rising righwing tide is converting them fast too.

A subdued Hurrah! Ontario Libs dangerously live to see another term.

But the rightwing oxymoronic “Progressive Conservatives” (how can you even say that with a straight face?) managed to gain a whopping 11+ seats nevertheless.

Though the Liberals have won narrowly in these Ontarian Elections of 2011, the great 21st century dumbing down of the province continues relentlessly,

The Stupid Immigrant

After the successes of communities like Hostages for Kidnappers (Stockholm Syndrome, et al)… or Persecuted for the Prosecutors (Jews for Jesus, et al)… or Slaves for the Masters (House Negroes, et al)… we now have a very visible Canadian version: Immigrants for Conservatives (Canada’s new pride and joy.)

Stupid Conservative Immigrant Let’s stop kidding ourselves: We now have a New Dumb Canadian Reality, all because of my fellow immigrants. My sincerest apologies, regrets and grief. I never thought it’d be this easy for the dark side to win so easily! I really am sorry: I tried, but no immigrant reads this stupid idiot’s blog.
