    Nice to see racism rearing its ugly head up north.

    Well, whenever the U.S. is bogged down in an unpopular war, Canada gets refugees dodging American law.

    It's a funny situation.
    There are farms outside Montreal where they import Mexican workers for the season - I presume because nobody at home wants the job.
    That, apparently, is fine.
    There certainly have been abuses by the farm owners. And those who stand up for themselves get into all kinds of trouble, which leads to the others putting up with brutal conditions, etc. etc. etc.

    It's selective, at best. IOW, we just want you during the summer to do the shit jobs; the rest of the time, go home.
     
  6. No, only the Americans are racists. Didn't you get the memo?

    Instead of the Windsor mayor and MP whining about how this is the Americans' fault, why don't they take action to keep these people out of the country? Or, better yet, put the blame where it lays -- at the feet of the Mexican government?

    Wonder what their reaction would have been if Ahmad Ressam turned up in Windsor.

    Canada - that great open society to the north. Wait till health care costs start rising. Then it will really hit the fan.

    YHS, etc

    Don't know if y'all caught last night's Daily Show, but it was all about immigration and Canada, featuring one guy who was what a Minuteman sounds like when you give him Gordie Howe's voice.
