As a Canadian I'm proud of my fellow countrymen for helping and accepting refugees. Although most arrive here with nothing, studies have shown they benefit our society in the long run. They contribute massively to our economy and enrich our culture. They overcome daunting obstacles and become productive members of society, and they make Canada a better, fairer and more inclusive place
They also wash away our culture, and try to change laws to suit their lifestyle.
I'm not opposed to immigration or refugees, I would just prefer they assimilate into our society. Instead they try to turn it into the same shithole they came from (some of them, unfortunately the loud ones).
Your culture? So you're First Nations? Because those are the only people in Canada with a legitimate claim to having their culture washed away.
They're part of our culture, we call ourselves a mosaic for a reason. I don't want a homogenized stale nothing culture, being multicultural is one of Canada's greatest strengths. You can take that "assimilate" garbage and shove it up your ass. I'd rather have immigrants who bring their own diverse cultures to our country than people like you stinking it up with racist talking points.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Bro our culture is coming over from Europe and committing genocide, the fuck you on about 💀
They're doing the same fucking thing your ancestors did hundreds of years ago minus the genocide.
What Canadian culture? Canada is the land of immigrants and the diversity shown in Canada is incredible.

Press X to doubt.
Canada: better than 50C heat and sandstorms. /s
The frostbite thing is awful. I feel like the Canadian government is pretty bad at holistic, helpful services. These pieces that describe how newcomers are dumped with virtually no supports don't make me feel any better.
Isn't that the immigrant life?
When did the culture go from immigrants working their own niche to immigrants asking for more support than the average citizen?
Canada actively tries to find skilled immigrants in other countries, often countries with no concept of Canadian winters. I'm not saying that immigrants deserve "extra", I'm saying if we're going to spend money to try and bring in these highly skilled immigrants, we might as well ensure we keep our investment by preparing them for their first winter.
no supports
Do you mean 'supports' like struts and crutches, or is this a typo and you meant support programmes and support from neighbours? The two are very different.
“and finally realized that as difficult as things were for me in Canada, they were far better than what my family faced in Sudan” it took a dust storm for her to realize this?
It's easy to see the past with rose-tinted glasses, I guess.
