Canada’s Secret to Resisting the West’s Populist Wave - NYTimes

[Stop Pretending]

Canada rejects people at the border with a DUI on the record, its vastly different

They reject people at the border if they're the wrong kind of brown.

[Seranthor]

They reject people at the border if they're the wrong kind of brown.

Wait a minute... Is rejecting people based on their driving what passes as "Canadian values and Canadian success in our immigration system"? is that even truly representing multiculturalism? or is it the Canadian knock off of it?

[Anon56]

But Justin Trudeau is a populist too.

[Draco-Onis]

But Justin Trudeau is a populist too.

I think you are confusing good looking popular with populist.

[Kraenen]

I remember basically until Trump started gaining traction that populism was unquestionably good in the eyes of leftist activists. All about the 99% who are oppressed, and then oh wait, the 99% are dumb racists who are oppressing everyone else. Funny how that happened.

Isn't nation humping just as much against the rules as nation thumping is?

[Seranthor]

Isn't nation humping against the rules like nation thumping is?

You would think, but certain people seem to have special dispensation from the moderator in their pocket.

What? It's the grand scheme dude. Look at how many Syrian refugees Canada took in compared to the U.S., Australia, UK etc.
Not only that but Canadians elected a government whose major platform promise was to take in tens of thousands of refugees.

Meanwhile in other countries? Not the same.

Immigration and refugees aren't the same

You did take a few Syrian refugees, but you sorted through them, only taking the best and the brightest, the doctors, the proffesors, people with a higher than average education.

You basicly went into a store, and picked out all the expensive things, and left with the goods, without paying for them... Humanitarism isnt exactly what i would call what Canada is doing, smart and clever, but not humanitarian.

The most interesting thing about the OP of them being against the common person.. Here is a link to what Populism actually is..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism

"Populism is a mode of political communication that appeals to the "common man", often contrasted against the "privileged elite". Populism tends to be centrist on the traditional left–right political spectrum, as it sees both bourgeois capitalists and socialist organizers as having an unfair domination in the political sphere.."

The one big reason for the rise of Populism is that a lot of people are just getting sick and tired of the crap their left and right leaning political parties get up to..

And one can very much guess why that is the case, but will leave it there as well you can probably guess why I wont go further..

That is one of the unfortunate things, and you can guess the rest.. It is probably a case of one set of rules for the ordinary poster and another set for the privileged few..

I cant take canadians serious

[satimy]

The moral of this thread, if you want your country to stop serving the native inhabitants and instead serve the global masters then just import voters until you're no longer Canadian. I'm actually shocked people are this transparent about it

[Fleuria]

When you pick and chose who you want, it's no wonder people don't give a shit who they are taking in.

I think you are confusing good looking popular with populist.

No, he ran on a populist platform focused on the middle class or the "common man". The article really makes no sense because Trudeau was the populist candidate. It seems to be confusing anti immigration with populism.

[Serpha]

Populism is one of the greatest threats many countries face so it is a pretty important article I would say. NYT has clearly done their research this time around.

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dict...glish/populism

political ideas and activities that are intended to get the support of ordinary people by giving them what they want:
Their ideas are simple populism - tax cuts and higher wages.

What is wrong with populism? I know you like leftist fascism but give it a rest already.

Another reason why he's against populism, because he sees himself among the privileged elite.

What becomes of illegals in Canada young man? Are they allowed to stay, or are they deported?

I trust Reuters before I trust the NY Times...

I am certain you do not understand what that word means if you are using it that way.

Actually it looks like those who are impartial agree with the article and logic.

Canada has functioning public institutions, including publicly-funded health care and good schools. It's not a dog-eat-dog society like the US has become, where fear drives everything.

Bruce Philadelphia, PA June 27, 2017

This article touches on many points of how Canada's geo-political fortune has allowed it to avoid the woes of post-industrial USA , UK and France. Without a doubt Canada (particularly the Greater Toronto and Greater Vancouver regions) benefits from the influx of Global and particularly Asian capital and capabilities to the West. Canada is underpopulated, educated, socially responsible, and blessed a multitude of natural resources and one of the lowest corruption rankings in the world (Canada is #9 - USA is #18) it has good governance and great growth potential.

Canada: What the US could have been if its politics weren't based around the idea that many people deserve to suffer.

Only Nova Scotia.

Shit yeah.
