"But the thing is, those who actually rely on this money either torn apart native people, and you know that their conditions go back generations (again I am not going to elaborate on what has happened to the indigenous peoples of Canada, you do your research) and their unemployment in a colonial system that is not compatible with their lost traditions, is not something that can be fixed with a few hundreds of dollars per month, but needs a historical healing. The other benefactors are lazy entitled [often local white] people who do not look for work, do not accept low wage work, and do choose to beg on the streets (because they can collect some more from kind people who help them) while they reside in social housing or dirty cheap team houses. Often drunken bad-mouthed homeless people who are plenty in the richest cities of the country – you only need to take a 5 minute walk in downtown Ottawa or Toronto, for example, to realize poverty is not something specific to ‘the developing countries’. But interestingly, there are no videos or pictures showing this type of thing to the enthusiastic immigrants as ‘Canada’. No, Canada is not only its homeless people. Neither it is its national hockey team. But there are these issues here, like anywhere else in the world and the spotless imagery many people have of this country is simply laughable."
Natives are poor because of history. Whites are poor because of choice. Really getting sick of this narrative.
Also complaining about the locals not mingling with you, probably because all you want to do is stay in your own ethnic echochamber and use canada for money. Why shouldn't I be hostile when English is the official language and you can't even communicate with me properly and I can't read any signs.
My area is being bought up by Indians. The amount of blank stares I get when out for a walk after giving a friendly hello to the older generation of Indians is shocking.
I get it, they might not be fluent in English and I don’t expect a conversation, but at least learn the simple greetings of your host country.
Years ago I used to spend like $20/day at Timmies getting jacked up on XLs with 2 espresso shots.
I’ve been happily Timmies free for almost a year now. What a dump of a place.
