When your adopted country is facing a serious national crisis, where does your loyalty lie?
The least you can do as an immigrant living in a country, especially one you now call home, is stand with that country when it matters most.
You can criticize the government, hate the unnecessary bureaucracy, complain about the taxes, housing, immigration system and every other problem.
Canada gave many of us something our home countries couldn’t, a chance to dream again, build a life, raise a family and imagine a future.
Yet I see immigrants publicly cheering for America against Canada, and honestly, it gets under my skin every single time.
And before anyone turns this into an African or “brown immigrant” conversation no.
I’m talking about everyone, African immigrants, Asian immigrants, European immigrants, everyone….
You don’t have to pretend Canada is perfect, but sometimes, patriotism means standing with the country that gave you a home, even when you disagree with the people running it.
I just hope some people eventually remember the difference between criticizing your government and rooting against your country.
@Highteaspeaks Your post gave me chills, you're right, and virtually I'm by your side. I hope your post will be read and understood by as many people as possible across the country as possible across Canada. Hi friend 🇨🇦
@MeSeydiBa S'il peut dire ça et être en contradiction avec son propre parcours, c'est parce qu'il a une certaine idée de lui-même et que celle-ci alimente l'idée qu'il se fait des gens à qui il parle. L'anecdote du livreur est claire.
@Renardpaty Traduction : vous nous aidez sur l'Iran et nous vous aidons sur l'Ukraine.
En sachant que l'Amérique est, du haut de sa suprême intelligence, à l'origine des 2 problèmes.
@SkyNews What if, for example, the Americans say to Europe as a whole, "We forbid you to trade with Canada," what will the Europeans do? They did what Uncle Sam told them. We are angry with the nations that do not let this dictate their conduct by the Americans
@Trending_Sid@CNN The problem is that the United States has the power to tell our trading partners not to do business with us and in such a situation that the countries concerned will do. They will do what the US says for fear of retaliation.
@Renardpaty Est-ce que vous comprenez ce qu'il cherche dans sa volonté de frapper à l'intérieur du territoire Russe par l'Ukraine et pourquoi Poutine se retient ?
@CaronAymericoff Je ne sais pas en tout cas, il paraît qu'il sera en tournée dans un spectacle comique en partenariat avec Rires et Chansons, cela va de soi.
@Pascal_Laurent_ En faisant ça, il a fait quoi de grave de catastrophique ou d'impardonable ? L'assemblée nationale est remplie de drogués qui participent à des soirées chemsex. La classe politique est remplie de personnes condamnés par la justice. Il y a 4 mois, vous ne saviez rien de lui...
