  1. So you see only people where I see race and ethnicity - well, aren't you just too sweet for words..

    Listen, fool, I see race and ethnic divide where it in fact exists. Toronto is a patchwork of ethnic communities. In many of these communities English is seldom spoken and in some persons of white complexion are not welcome except as potential mugging victims.

    You criticize my attitude vis-a-vis my function in public housing. I didn't create the ethnic divides; they had been there long before I was employed by the housing authority and these divides remain there years after I found much less harrowing, much more lucrative employment.

    Also, do a websearch on gangs in Toronto; the first thing you will note is that they are virtually all racially defined and all have racist agendas. If Toronto is so sweetly integrated whence cometh these racially defined gangs? There must be a concentration of persons of a particular race in order for a gang of that race to develop.

    I wish I could drop you off at Jane/Finch some evening then pick you up an hour later so that I could take you to the hospital to have your injuries attended to and have the semen cleared from your throat and colon.

  2. History shows that minor powers are always, in the long-run, at the mercy of great powers. So, it always makes sense to become a great power if you can, if you value freedom and independence for your country. Canada is a rich place with huge land mass and natural resources, it could easily host 100m+ population.

    The US could host a billion.

  4. The US will soon be hosting a billion.. Mexicans. Canada will be hosting the 100 million Americans who have fled the US on the eve of Mexico's annexation of their former territories (California, New Mexico, etc.).

    Just joking. 200 million Mexicans, tops.

  6. In such an unlikely scenario, I highly doubt existing obligations would be met.

    You are ignorant buddy. Conversing with ignorance is never easy and often and waste of time, but we can at least highlight your bigotry in the hope you can reeducate yourself. Or maybe get less little Hansels shooting their mouth off on essentially racist themes.

    Hope I'm making myself clear. Your attitude is unacceptable.
    What you've done is take small issues and blow them up into racially charged themes. Jane and Finch might not be the best neighborhood, but Queen and Jarvis is at least as dangerous and a lot of white people live there. Make your own conclusions, I'm sure you will.

  8. This is a very legitimate concern.

    Fortunately for Canada, she is a highly developed nation and can go from zero to nuclear-weapon-equipped in about 72 hours.

  9. Canada is the second largest uranium producer in the world, second to Kazahkstan as of 2009, producing 22% of world output.

    Canada hosts the largest uranium mine in the world.

    To 2008, more uranium had been mined in Canada than any other country – 428,000 tU, 18% of world total.
