Unless you're native, which is even worse to half the people here. You just can't win.
I don't understand why people keep repeating that. By definition, an immigrant is someone who travels to live in a foreign Country. If you live in the Country you were born, you are not an immigrant. It's pretty simple really.
im a new immigrant here arrived over 17 years ago and i do not want ""..."" ....only welfare bums and ideological zealots looking to burn the world down! ...""..."" sorry you really have to think not all immigrants are the same ...

Because five generations is nothing in the scales of time, not a grain of sand on a beach. Some like to pretend since their grandparents came here instead of them they’re more entitled. The same people will rant at length about entitlement and its evils after a couple beers, yet believe being born on one piece of dirt instead of another rightfully entitles us to something.
If it was all about being here first First Nations really should call all the shots. I don’t see it that way, I see us all as human and equally worthy beings, First Nations immigrated here too not that long ago in the true scales of time. Divided we fall, and man does our species love making divisions.
That has absolutely nothing to do with the meaning of the word immigrant. I'm not looking for a debate, but you can't change what a word means just because of your opinions.
Nicely worded. So often it seems that the posts are typed by drunken louts... well worded Ardent, well worded no doubt.
FFS, I was about to go and shoot some Mallards after WallyMart told me I was allowed only two pieces of fresh meat this afternoon.
FFS had two pkgs of chicken and two pkgs of pork.
Biotch scolded me all the while telling me it was total of two.
Signs all over the place confusing this Union Thug after a hard day on the hard.
Told her I didnt want any of it Thank you very much and left.
Prolly got my mug in the security office now .
Dam fields crawling with Green glowing heads just about drove me over the edge I was teetering over.

Hmmmm, my family arrived in North America in 1721 AD (12 generations) and I don't consider myself an immigrant. Today, an immigrant is a person who migrated to Canada to become a resident. Don't forget, it was the English, french, Irish and Scot's who were the primary people who built Canada, many thousands died in warfare to protect her.
You missed the sarcasm. Some of my best friends are immigrants, I work with immigrants, my doctor and dentist are immigrants... I have nothing but respect for them, they left their previous life which was often easier, to try and make a go of things in Canada, more often than not because they believe that they can provide a better life for children by moving here, even if it means a worse life for themselves in the short term (doctors working as janitors, engineers delivering pizza, etc).
Last I checked the Chinese built the railroad... And then when we didn't need them anymore we raised the head tax to make it much harder for them to immigrate...

One branch on my mother’s side were loyalists who first came to Canada in 1776, and had been in the United Colonies (precursor to the US) well before that. That makes me no more Canadian than my in-laws who were both born on opposite sides of the world in two different directions, and I love that about our country. That doesn’t make me a Liberal, Leftist, a Socialist, or even a latte drinker. It just makes me a content Canadian.
If it was all about blood spilled by ancestors you and I both have lost more ancestral blood to Europe than North America by a country mile. We all moved here once upon a time.
Most are people that want to push the agenda that anyone who isn't of native descent are less entitled.
If Europeans that came to north america after the various waves of migrants are less worthy, then it stands to reason that anyone that came afterwards is also less entitled.
Can't really have one without the other.
Me? I'm just a Canadian. I'm not an immigrant or a First Nation or a Settler or an Hyphen-Canadian. Just a Canadian. I wish more Canadians would embrace the concept of simply being Canadian.
not easy to see sarcasm on the net in a discussion and im very good to put some in as well lol ...

Amen to that.
Major pet peeve of mine is when someone born in Canada, whos parents or grandparents immigrated, still refers to themselves as from the old country. "Im Italian". "Im Serbian". "Im Indian". "Im German". "Im Polish". Im Chinese".
No. You're Canadian.
