Actually this has been a pet peeve of mine for awhile but it's beginning to boil my blood even more and more. This may get me into a little trouble but I'm gonna post it any way. It's the immigrants in Canada that are really beginning to piss me off. Actually in Ontario to be exact. If you enter this province and your eyes are slanted or you have a towel on your head, you're handed anything and everything you want by our government. I was on the computer one night and somehow a young kid got onto my MSN messenger, so he was telling me of how wonderful this country was. He told me of how he was able to come to Ontario and how our government was paying for his education plus he was getting child tax credit. Which kinda surprised me since the child tax credit stops when a child is 18 and it actually goes to the parents of the children not the child, this boy was 20. So I asked him how he managed to get child tax benefits on top of them paying for his school? His response was it was for his 5 siblings who were back in THEIR OWN COUNTRY!! WITH THE PARENTS! But he was STILL collecting this money. So I asked him why his parents went back to their own country and he said they had to so the little ones could finish their schooling and besides the parents were DOCTORS and had their own practices to look after! Imagine how stunned I was when I heard this!!! But that's nothing yet........I said to him, if your parents are doctors why aren't they paying for your education? His response, Oh I couldn't ask my parents to pay for my education!!!!! By now I'm boiling!! I'm pissed!!! So I said, you can't ask YOUR PARENTS to pay for your education but YOU CAN ASK MY GOVERNMENT TO TAKE MY HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS for it?????? Freaking imagine the audacity of it!!! Here's the kicker tho in this situation, I was born and raised Canadian, half my ancestors are NATIVE yet MY government told MY children they couldn't assist them in their education because I made too much money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Working 3 pissy jobs most of my life to raise 2 kids myself and MY GOVERNMENT couldn't do a thing to help MY CHILDREN, yet they can help some kid from a different country who's parents are freaking DOCTORS and don't even live in this country!?!?!?!?!?!
Secondly, now we have pretty good health care in Ontario compared to some other places, which is paid for by our tax dollars. Well the majority of the corner stores are owned by orientals or pakies. Neither of which has a cash register their stores or if they do, they never use them. Why??? Because they're trying to rip off the government thru the taxes. These same people who have come into this country, who think it's so wonderful here, who's families actually enjoy our health care system, our education system and everything else yet they don't think they should be paying taxes. They boost about it too. Except when the auditor is within ear shot that is. There was a young girl who worked in the same store as I do now and she would boost about the fact that her father owned properties all over Niagara as well as a chain of corner stores but when it came time for the college education she went to our government to pay for it, using one of the address of her father's properties which is in a bad area of the city and changing her name. She would tell the other girls there that she had no intentions of paying it back because they'd never be able to find her. Another oriental store owner would boost about bringing in over 6 hundred thousand dollars yet where the government was concerned he was barely getting by because that money went into his pocket. Yet it's these same people who there come retirement age with their hands out thinking they deserve the same money as REAL CANADIAN!!! Or when their child is in need of medical care, they don't mind taking MY HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS to pay for it!!!
Well I just had to get that off my chest. And if I've offended anyone .......well tough sh*t, I don't really care cause these immigrant pricks have offended me enough as well!

To further "stoke your fire," you might want to read my post entitled "ACLU Files Suit Against ENGLISH ONLY School." [Don't worry! I am not a POINT PIG. I am just trying to get the word out.]
