 Fed up Brits should come to Canada, says Minister sent to lure workers to emigrate
Fed up Brits should come to Canada, says Minister sent to lure workers to emigrate
Canada is putting skilled British workers on a fast track for immigration visas to exploit our soaring cost of living.

Its officials believe superior public services and the ability to weather economic turmoil will lure Britons fed up with fuel and food prices and with the state of schools and hospitals.

 In Canada, Milk Comes in Bags
In Canada, Milk Comes in Bags
This is a site dedicated to milk bags. Canadian milk bags to be more precise. (Dairy milk - not to be confused with breast milk which also come in bags.) Canada is not the only place to have milk bags (You can check that out in the misc. section). However, this site will mainly consist of them, which makes sense since I live in Canada. So don’t go thinking I’m a milk bag racist. picked by 2longdogs 5 months ago

Canada Bows To P.C. And Fears
Canada out of political correctness and a fear of being blown up, will allow women or at least people who claim to be women vote while in disguise. Normally, "Every person who comes out to exercise their vote must be clearly identified." Most Canadians will still have to do so. Muslim Women will be given special treatment. picked by 2manyusernames 12 months ago

This effort to "Christianize and civilize" Canada's native people went on for over a century. Now Canada is apologizing for the tragic deed and has $1.9 Billion compensation fund to help make amends. picked by 2manyusernames 2 months ago
