What makes you think they aren't? Canada is more welcoming to the
migrant, with a net migration rate of 5.85 migrants/1000. This is
opposed to the U.S. rate of 3.18/1000. As with most First World
nations,
Canada uses immigration to maintain a growing economy. Canada also
has a considerable illegal migrant issue. The difference is
they make it easier for the illegal to become legal than we do.



How many unskilled persons have been allowed to immigrate into
Canada within the last 25 years? Remember, I said unskilled persons
have been allowed to immigrate into Canada? Allowing wealth people
from Asia and Europe doesn't count.


Go to Toronto and see who's immigrating.


My next trip to Canada will be to visit Quebec City.


You'd better leave your attitude home when you visit there. The
residents of that area can be much more sensitive than Montreal citizens.

I am one of the most friendly and easy going people you will ever meet.
If we were ever to meet and we didn't know who each other was we would
get along just fine.
But all of you sanctimonious assholes in this group are fun to **** off
and on.

The only problem I had in Montreal, when I visited on vacation a few
years ago was that I couldn't stop laughing every time I saw a guy
wearing Capri pants. I told my 14 yo nephew about it and he didn't
believe me. Then when we took him on our vacation to NH and MA last year
he saw a guy, obviously French, in Boston wearing Capri pants he
apologized for not believing me.
