Am Back with a Vengeance

Well foks here I am again. I finally have found the time to continue my crusade of enlightening others with regards to the truth about a country in North America they call Canada.

You all know that recently there has been a surge in blogs and websites that talks about the hardship, challenges and discrimination that immigrants experience in the Great White North. Has anyone wondered why they called Canada such a name? The simple answer is because it is a known fact that the White people here and it's govt. which happens to be composed of majority of white people are natural born racist.

White supremacist groups abounds here as well as those biker groups which seems to be untouchables as the govt. almost always tuns a blind eye unless a white person is victimized.

The govt. is so full of red tapes, govt. employees tends to intimidate people especially those that work at Citizenship Immigration Canada. They don't seem to know that they are "Public Servants" and that they are accountable to the people they are serving. They seem to deal with immigrants with disdain and almost always project themselves as person of authority that an immigrant has to respect and bow upon.

We are now in the 21st century and there is no room for this kind of people in our society anymore.

They say this and yet they do the opposite of what they preach.

We need to wake up, join hands together, regardless of our issues and confront the govt. and demand a change.

As long as they see that we are fragmented and that we have a different goal, nothing will ever ever change in this country.

Let us demand change for the sake of our children and their children's generation.
If we left our country after being duped to come here because of the picture they painted about Canada in their Embassies worldwide, let's ask a question to ourselves, are we better off where we came from or did we actually ended up being worst and miserable in this county.

I leave you all that thought till next time.

Time to Change

The following are two letters sent by readers of the Toronto Star, in reaction to the Editorial posted in the newspaper's Nov. 11th edition. These letters speak of an ugly truth that is so prevalent in Canada.

CANADA SHOULDN'T LECTURE FRANCE ON DISCRIMINATION
Nov. 13, 2005. 01:00 AM
Lee Yap, Toronto

Canada hardly is justified in lecturing France about integration. Granted, Canada's image is that of a tolerant, accepting nation with an open immigration policy and the French are much more elitist in many respects.

But Canada keeps selling immigrants on the dream of a better life while leaving out that all-important detail about "Canadian experience." As a result, we are wasting so much skill that could be put to better use. The irony is that for all its faults, I hardly ever hear about someone needing American experience to land a suitable job in the U.S. Surely it also exists but not to the degree it does here.

I daresay it is a form of racism to not give someone even just a shot simply because they do not possess Canadian experience. When my wife first went job hunting here, it was the Americans who took a chance on her — without an ounce of North American experience — making her head up their Canadian office. She rewarded them with numbers that four previous Canadian-born predecessors could not produce. This is not to say immigrants are better, just that they are not inferior.


TIME TO CHANGE OUR ATTITUDES
Let's embrace our new citizens with open arms and make sure they have equal opportunities

Fernando Duque, Toronto

What is happening these days in France should make us think of the origin of these "riots," as the media insist on calling them. Inequity, discrimination and lack of opportunities affect immigrants, whether they emigrated out of desire or necessity. People who often had no option but to leave behind their possessions and to start a new life in a completely different culture, learning a new language and finding their way in a new society often find that they are not welcome in their new homes.

One can't help thinking of the similarities between the French situation and the hurdles that immigrants to Canada are forced to endure.

We pride ourselves on our multicultural society, but are we really welcoming these newcomers?

I have been in Canada for four years. I came here as a refugee and I am grateful for many things. I saved my life by moving to Canada, but I left my dignity at the border and I have not seen it since. Regardless of one's reasons for immigrating to Canada, whether that person comes as a refugee or as a landed immigrant, most immigrants will have to face the same situations once they arrive here.

First, there is "cultural shock." Learning the "Canadian way" of doing things can be quite painful and it explains why many immigrants decide to stay within a specific neigbourhood like Chinatown, little Italy or the Danforth; instinct makes them look for protection.

Then there is the language barrier. Having an accent in other parts of the world can work in your favour and can often be seen as "charming." In Canada, it is the other way around, where having an accent can close all doors. If someone has an accent that person is not seen as being on par with Canadians.

Let's not forget the most problematic of all the issues — finding a job. Doctors, accountants, engineers, architects and any professionals quickly realize their foreign experience and qualifications are worthless in Canada and they have to start from scratch. Experienced, foreign-trained professionals are serving hamburgers in restaurants because Canadian employers dismiss them as candidates for positions based solely upon their "lack of Canadian experience."

On top of the previous problems, there is the issue of the educational system in Canada. There are no undergraduate or postgraduate evening programs, they all are daytime programs and, for the most part, very expensive. Canadian employers dismiss foreign experience but there's no way to earn a living while also acquiring Canadian educational credentials.

Canada is a popular destination for immigrants dreaming of opportunities. They come here full of hope, only to be disappointed time after time by the discrimination and restrictions heaped upon them as they attempt to realize their dreams.


Going back to the problems in France, are the Canadian government and private organizations waiting for newcomers to Canada to say "enough" and start burning cars in the streets? Of course, no one wants things like this to happen anywhere. Hopefully, the world, and especially the so called "developed" countries, will learn a good lesson from what is happening in France. It's time to change our attitudes toward new Canadians. Let's embrace our new citizens with open arms and equal opportunities.

Watch Out Canada!

I just hope that all of Canada is closely following what is happening in France right now, and may that serve as a wake up call for this government to do something about the fate of most immigrants in this country.

The riots that started after two young kids died of electrocution while running away from arresting officers had slowly but surely started to creep and rage in most of France today.

This could very well happen here. The immigrants are demanding equality and that is one of the major ingredients that is also missing here in Canada. Daily occurrence of systemic racism and discrimination is still and always been the norm. Just like in France today, wherein in some areas, almost 50% of the immigrants are unemployed, the same could be said of what is happening in Canada.

Immigrants are continously treated as second class citizens. Promotions and job opportunities are constantly denied to immigrants, even if they are highly qualified for the job.

The "white" Canadians still has this old mentality of protecting their own kind and using and treating immigrants after luring them here mostly as their servants.

If the government fails to ensure that equality and opportunity are accorded to every immigrant that come here, I can see just one incidence like that of what happened in France, and this country will suffer the same fate.

Wake up and be sensitive. We are not slaves, nor do we deserve to be treated as a second or third class citizen of this country. The fact is, we are more than qualified to do the job than most of you that sits in high position just because of your color, and most of all, we will not remain SILENT forever.

In the meantime, IMMIGRANTS, I call on you to rise up and fight this dirty system. Voice your opinion. Spread the ugly truth that is Canada, to your friends and relatives who are thinking of immigrating here.

Skilled immigrants should bear in mind, that this country needs us for their sustenance and economic growth more than we need them.

Some of the reasons we immigrate to other country is because we want a better life, free from oppression and inequality.

You are in Canada now and if it is no less than the country you came from, do something to change the system. We cannot go with the flow forever. Sometimes, we need to swim against the flow in order to achieve our goals and dreams.

Anti Systemic Racism and Discrimination

Well, well, well.. It seems to me that there is a rising smoke of anti systemic racism and discrimination in Canada that is coming from its Immigrants recently.

I have found more sites that could be of great help in educating prospective immigrants to this country. And yes, these are real people sharing their experiences here in Canada. Just like these sites that I will post later, our intent is to purely educate prospective immigrants, expose the ugliness that this country possess. We are in no way associated with any group nor do we get any financial gain doing all of this.

Our intent is pure and simple. We want to stop the systemic racism and discrimination that is so prevalent in Canada.

Yes, anywhere there is discrimination and racism, but I can assure you that the level that is seen here in Canada is one of the ugliest.

Now, please feel free to visit these sites, share your experiences, but most importantly, learn. Learn about the ugly truth about what Canada truly is.

Not Canada

Good luck! and may these sites help you make that decision if you truly want to come and live in Canada.

Let's fight the Union in Canada

Okay, okay, so finally it is likely that the the lame duck govt. of Gordon Campbell has agreed in principle to the striking teacher's demand.

After 13 days of strike, victimizing children and parents as well, the two sides finally agreed in principle. Where have you been Vince Ready, that this whole mess had to take this long.

What has come out of this in my opinion is that, in the near future, there will be more strikes in the horizon, perhaps from the RCMP, the Firemen and other govt. employees as it clearly shows that all it takes is a mediator to make the govt. yield to the strikers demand.

It clearly shows that this govt. is toothless and lame. The worst part of it is that, after the two sides had agreed, CUPE another union had decided to walk out, rendering, libraries, garbage collection and in some areas of British Columbia, there was not even a bus service. The govt. has done nothing but label these actions as "Illegal" just as they did to the teachers.

The citizens again fell victim to these irresponsible actions. So when are you going to stand up and tell these Union leaders and the Govt. that you had enough of all this Bull Shit?

It is about time to stop patronizing Unions in Canada. What have they done for you lately anyways?
The TELUS strike, who suffered? The company never stop functioning while there were picket lines outside of their building.

And isn't it a form of discrimination that you cannot get hired in a company that is unionized without joining the union? What happened to your right to choose?

I think that unions are obsolete, that it is a thing of the past.

The general public always bear the brunt of all these irresponsible actions. We must take a stand. Stop patronizing Unions. Wake Up Canada, be sensitive and be AWARE!

This country cannot function effectively if it is under a constant threat from Unions of strikes and walk outs.

Such strategy are only seen in Third World Countries.

Potpourri of Issues

Hello again my fellow bloggers and readers as well.
I have been off my blogs recently but that does not mean I have stopped. Today, I would like to share with you a few of the current issues that has attracted my attention.

Last week, I read on the Vancouver Sun this article about attracting foreign workers. Same tune, same dancers, nothing changed. Though the govt. is aware of the systemic discrimination that is happening in the workplace, it, ( govt. ) being like a jelly fish, that is without a back bone, cannot enforce the law against that kind of practice. The end result is still the same, this country will continue to dupe professionals who will end up driving a taxicab or washing dishes in restaurants.

On the following day Editorial, I read this person's comment urging the govt. to be truthful to intending immigrant. That is, the embassies should start educating prospective professionals and immigrant about the harsh reality of life here in Canada.

The reality is, do we really believe and think that the govt. will act? Immigration is a big business for this country and I don't think Canada is ready to lose the millions of dollars it collects from immigrants by telling them exactly what to expect when they get into this country.

On other Issues, let us look at the current Teacher's strike here in B.C.

The stupidity of it all...especially on the side of the Govt. Once again, it proved to the people that it doesn't have the backbone to enforce the law of the land.
These teachers, though they are unionized cannot be allowed to go on strike, because first and foremost, they are "Public servants" they are part of the govt. that they are striking against.
Secondly, the Law is the law. Nobody cannot and should not be allowed to circumvent and define the law according to what suits them.

The judge had ruled twice that these actions are illegal and yet the Govt. still has not enforced it's will.
In the end this issue might come to a stale mate with the citizens becoming the victim of all of this.
The govt. cannot yield to the teacher's demand as it will serve as a good example for other govt. unionized employees to perhaps continue to blackmail the govt. by going on strike.

I say that the best solution is to fire all these teachers just as what Ronald Reagan did to those Air traffic Controllers. That way, these people will learn the hard way, that you cannot fight the govt. and expect to win.

The extra expenses that this strike had placed on parents run by the millions everyday.
Parents should also sue the BC Fed. of Teachers for compenrsation, but most of all, the children are suffering.

Mr. Campbell...when are you going to have the balls, to stand up and announce that you are firing all these stubborn teachers? I hope it will be very very soon. Remember, this will haunt you back on the next election.

In the end...I always say this...stupidity, dumbness, ignorance...you name it, you'll find it only in CANADA.
