Re: Why move to Canada?
 

Yeah course they did:

"Political asylum..." "benefits" "call my lawyer"

dude we are talking about vagrants here..Illegal immigrants, gypsies, et. Not people who fly over with £25,000 in the bank and have applied for visas, jobs, homes, etc........LOL :p

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

OK....

Let's say last year 10,000 people were murdered in Canada...for example

And then this year it's great news beause only 9,900 were murdered and it is DOWN on last years figures..... :ohmy:

Got it? If not....let someone else explain it to you. :blink:

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

OK. Whatever. Canada has no one like that at all, just wealthy white rich immigrants who speak perfect english.

Just leave the "QUOTE= USERNAME;NUMBER" bit in place at least:rolleyes:

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

hmmm......when did I say Canada didn't have any of these "Political Asylum seekers"?

I do not know the facts.....but i wonder what they are allowed in "Easy Britain" compared to other countries? I know Aussie is very tough on this and I like that.

Now if you get 1,000 per month and we get 1,000 per day.......is that the same? Just an example. :unsure:

Geez..........it's difficult on here. :thumbdown:

You're missing the point, perhaps deliberately, Canada has proportionally more immigrants and more political refugees than the UK. You wont escape victims of persecution by moving here.

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

ok again......why has this turend into a "Canada has them as well post?" It's about the scale of it. Is it that hard to get around?

Country A has 10,000 or 1 per 1000 citiziens murders a year

Country B has 1,000 or 1 per 10,000 citizens murders a year.

So ........do you see the difference?

Maybe it's because your team are playing so badly this century?

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

I find this hard to beleive.

Source please.

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

A fall in the number of valuable workers entering a country is not the same as a fall in the murder rate. The latter might be good news.

Anyway, I'm surprised you cheer the following points from the article:

"The number of unauthorised migrants voluntarily leaving or being deported from the UK fell by three per cent."

That might mean more people without status staying.

"The number of people claiming citizenship was up by almost a third, reaching 51,315 in the last quarter of 2009. The boost could be a response to government announcements that the criteria for citizenship is set to be toughened up."

It doesn't say how many are Gypsies but presumably few of them speak English as a first language.

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

Note that I'm still waiting for you to substantiate any of your numbers but hang on.

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

But you seem to be under the misapprehension that Canada has less immigrants than the UK, but in fact proportionally there are more (just as there are more murders per capita than the UK - so perhaps neither of your examples are a good idea!). If your sole aim in moving is to get away from things like that, you really need to re-consider your destination choice.

If you admire Australia's immigration policy and it affects your life that much (which it seems to from what you've said - either that or you've been reading the Daily Mail far too much), then why did you not choose to move there?

And you might want to read up on the multi-quote function so that you don't have to post individual replies to everybody.

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

Exactly, its about the scale, Immigrants in the UK make up about 10-20% of the population, In canada its about 50%.

My team? Im not george gillett! Yeah, just the two FA cups, two league cup, One Champions league (plus runners up), and one UEFA cup, terrible aint it.

AND GET THE FRICKING QUOTE THING RIGHT! Pissing off a mod first thing in the morning is NOT a good idea.

Immigration rate by country

Refugee immigration by country

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/im...ation-refugees

Of course this doesn't address the number of immigrants resident in a country but if the rate is always higher for one country than another, in absolute as well as proportionate terms, it stands to reason that that country, Canada, has more resident immigrants and refugees, dunnit?

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

I am no particular fan but I do not like ignorant people spouting rubbish they cannot support with evidence.

Blaming Enoch Powell for the fact that people today link him to racists is a bit like calling anyone that flies a St George's Cross at their home a racist simply because the far right use the flag as a rallying symbol.

Do you know which constituency Mr. Powell represented? Do you know how many times he was elected as an MP? Hardly evidence that the man was a racist, unless, of course, your argument is that because his constituents didn't understand English, they didn't understand the ballot papers they signed.

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

The figures you quoted were not "thousands per day" as you mentioned earlier. Thousands per year and quarter, yes.

Re: Why move to Canada?
 

"I'm no particular fan".....Yeah, right.....Next you'll be stating, "Some of my best friends are Black, BUT...."

To infer that Powell didn't know exactly what he was doing when he made a series of racially loaded speeches (which DID appeal to the bigotry and base instincts of his target audience) in an opening bid for the Tory party leadership is naive and "ignorant" on your part 'Almost Canadian'. Thankfully, it massively backfired on him, got him sacked from the shadow cabinet and sent his career into a tailspin from which it never recovered.

Anyhow, You seem to be an expert on the late, unlamented, and political failure that was Mr. Powell, so I'll bow to your superior knowledge.
